Been following the company for a while, dont hold any stock but absolutely kicking myself I didnt buy in at the 30s.
IMO nickel price will switch on and price will rise especially when the EV space REALLY takes off (still in its infant stages I believe atm). This will be multiplied if the mixture that goes into the lithium batteries ends up being 8:1:1 with the larger portion being nickel as cobalt prices are to expensive.
Without a doubt when nickel is back in spotlight, it wont take long for a bunch of these junior nickel miners that are currently dormant to restart, however I believe PAN has 1 of the best resources thats currently listed on the ASX.
Here are the reasons why I like it:
- 1 of the largest resources
- pretty good grades
- sulphide
- offtake in place for 100%
- finance facility available by tier 1 bank
- neccesary infrasture to restart already in place
- produced in the past
- JORCd reserves
- good management team
- stable share registry (lot of instos)
- hedging strats in place
- exposure to platnium and palladium
- Very attractive PFS figures
- not over priced
- stable uptrend in price, while the nickel price has been up and down and all other junior nickel miners have struggled (Poseidon LOL)
- substantial cash in the bank
- opportunity to further resource as open
What i am worried about
- Nickel doesnt really have that much of an impact as expected on batteries
- In turn nickel price never takes off
- There may be high levels of arsenic that arent being reported (doubtful as produced before)
- further macroeconomic hits i.e tarrifs etc..
and thats about it.
IMO this stock is being slept on as Nickel isnt REALLY sexy at the moment like liths or cobalts.
