Canada Nickel Plans A $1 Billion Processing Plant in Ontario
Canada Nickel (OTCQX:CNIKF) is raising $1 billion to build a processing plant in Timmins, Ontario.
加拿大鎳業公司（OTCQX: CNIKF）正在籌集10億美元，用於在安大略省蒂明斯建造一座加工廠。
The company is also planning a stainless-steel and alloy production facility.
該公司還計劃建造一座不鏽鋼和合金生產設施。
Per Reuters, the processing plant — slated to commence production in 2027 — aims to process 80,000 tons of nickel annually. This would make it North America's largest facility of its kind.
據路透社報道，該加工廠計劃於2027年開始生產，目標是每年加工8萬噸鎳。這將使其成爲北美同類設施中最大的設施。
With nickel production predominantly concentrated in Asia, Canada Nickel envisions filling a crucial gap in the supply chain by providing cleaner and responsibly produced nickel from North America.
由於鎳生產主要集中在亞洲，加拿大鎳業公司設想通過提供來自北美的清潔和負責任生產的鎳來填補供應鏈中的關鍵空白。
"The car companies and battery supply chain know that the amount of nickel needed in North America is going to double and triple over the next decade," CEO Mark Selby said in a prepared statement.
首席執行官馬克·塞爾比在一份準備好的聲明中說：“汽車公司和電池供應鏈知道，未來十年北美所需的鎳量將增加一倍和三倍。”
"These processing facilities will position the Timmins Nickel District and Canada at the forefront of the global transition to greener energy and materials," he added.
他補充說：“這些加工設施將使蒂明斯鎳礦區和加拿大處於全球向綠色能源和材料過渡的最前沿。”

To fund this ambitious venture, Canada Nickel is engaging in discussions with key stakeholders. They include the Canadian government, the United States Department of Defense, and partners in the battery manufacturing sector.
爲了資助這項雄心勃勃的企業，加拿大鎳業公司正在與主要利益相關者進行討論。它們包括加拿大政府、美國國防部和電池製造領域的合作伙伴。
Samsung SDI (OTC:SSDIY) and Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM) are also Canada Nickel shareholders.
三星SDI（場外交易代碼：SSDIY）和Agnico Eagle Mines（紐約證券交易所代碼：AEM）也是加拿大鎳業的股東。
Meanwhile, the company is concurrently developing an open-pit mine in Ontario and aims to integrate the entire battery supply chain with the proposed processing facility.
同時，該公司正在安大略省同時開發一座露天礦，目標是將整個電池供應鏈與擬議的加工設施整合。
"We have what the world needs right in our backyard to fuel the electric vehicle revolution," said Ontario Mining Minister George Pirie, while the project also received a blessing from Bruce Archibald, Chief of the Taykwa Tagamou Nation.
安大略省礦業部長喬治·皮裏說：“我們的後院有世界需要的東西來推動電動汽車革命，” 該項目也得到了泰克瓦塔加穆民族首領布魯斯·阿奇博爾德的支持。
Canada Nickel can expect plenty of support as Canada strives to increase the production of critical metals. Recently, the government offered help to troubled producers like First Quantum Minerals (OTCPK: FQVLF) who are grappling with price slumps and mine closures.
隨着加拿大努力增加關鍵金屬的產量，加拿大鎳業有望獲得充足的支持。最近，政府向陷入困境的生產商提供了幫助，例如第一量子礦業（OTCPK：FQVLF），他們正在努力應對價格暴跌和礦山關閉。
However, this plan comes amidst challenging times in the market. Nickel prices on the London Metal Exchange have experienced a sharp decline of over 40% in the past year, primarily due to an influx of supply from Indonesia and sluggish demand.
但是，該計劃是在市場充滿挑戰的時期出臺的。在過去的一年中，倫敦金屬交易所的鎳價急劇下跌了40％以上，這主要是由於來自印度尼西亞的供應湧入和需求疲軟。
With a current market cap of around $150 million, Canada Nickel's plans might look overly ambitious. Yet, the market reacted positively to the news with the stock ending Thursday's session 2.92% higher, closing at CA$ 1.41.
加拿大鎳業公司目前的市值約爲1.5億美元，其計劃可能顯得過於雄心勃勃。然而，市場對這一消息反應積極，該股週四收盤上漲2.92％，收於1.41加元。
