According to Open Access Government, Canada Nickel Company is pioneering net-zero mining at its Crawford Project by integrating carbon mineralization directly into its workflow. The site, expected to produce over 48,000 tonnes of nickel and 500,000 tonnes of 304-grade stainless steel annually, utilizes ultramafic rocks to permanently sequester CO2. Through patent-pending In-Process Tailings (IPT) carbonation and a recent successful in-situ underground pilot funded by the US DOE, CO2 is converted into stable carbonate minerals. This dual approach not only offsets emissions but naturally fractures the rock, lowering energy and grinding costs. This positions Crawford as a scalable template for a net-zero industrial cluster, turning carbon management into a core value driver.

【SMM Flash News】Indonesia's HPM Forecasted to Decrease 1.37% in Early April

SMM forecasts a marginal softening in the Indonesian domestic nickel ore benchmark (HPM) for the first half of April 2026, with prices expected to decline by 1.37%. This downward adjustment is primarily driven by a $236.56/dmt drop in the HMA, which is projected to settle at $17,093/dmt. Based on an MC35% calculation, the revised HPM targets across key grades are as follows: • Ni 1.2%: USD 17.33/wmt (↓ $0.24) • Ni 1.6%: USD 30.22/wmt (↓ $0.42) • Ni 1.7%: USD 34.00/wmt (↓ $0.47) • Ni 1.8%: USD 38.00/wmt (↓ $0.53) • Ni 2.0%: USD 46.66/wmt (↓ $0.65)
