Exploring Battery Metal Resources in Europe with Metals One CEO Jonathan Owen
Manage episode 431173112 series 2487333
In this episode, we chat with Jonathan Owen, CEO of Metals One, a LSE-listed junior mining company who are developing brownfield projects in Finland and Norway, aiming to identify and define battery metal resources to supply an expanding European market. These metals have the potential to become strategic sources of battery metals for the European domestic market.
Jonathan is an enterprising, highly resourceful, and results-driven Senior Executive, with 25+ years’ of experience in building businesses, transforming operations, and driving positive change within global mining and metals organisations. He shares the story of Metal One, news of the drilling programme, the macro view of the Nickel market, and recent news on the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Metals One is focused on developing brownfield projects in Finland and Norway to identify and define battery metal resources for the expanding European market.
- The EU's legislation aims to secure domestic supplies of critical minerals, offering opportunities for funding and permit fast-tracking for mining companies like Metals One.
- Nickel prices are expected to remain stable around $18,000 a ton, with growing demand for high-quality nickel sulfate driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles.
- While still in early stages, Metals One emphasises social engagement and transparency with local communities to ensure social license to operate.
- Metals One is gearing up for a busy period, with upcoming preliminary economic assessments, feasibility studies, and environmental baselining to progress their projects towards production by 2030.
BEST MOMENTS
"The UK has some of the finest mining consultancies based here and offering services globally."
"It's all rosy. It's been a tough year for all in the mining industry. But I'm sure it's going to turn a corner this year."
"Social license to operate is number one. I think it's as important, if not more important, than the quality of your raw body."
"It's hugely important. Social license to operate is number one. I think it's as important, if not more important, than the quality of your raw body."
