There are two port options, these being Esperance and Kwinana, that are well serviced by the KNP road and rail network. The project also has ready access to high-quality infrastructure with the Goldfields Highway, rail line and power infrastructure passing through the project area. All Goongarrie Hub mineral resources are located on granted mining leases with Native Title Agreement in place and tenure 100%-controlled by Ardea. The resources at Goongarrie are dominantly the premium goethite style and extend continuously over 25km of strike and at Highway, 30km north, over a strike length of 6km. Resources from the Goongarrie South to Scotia Dam deposits are planned to be the base load feed for two HPAL autoclaves and one AL plant located at Goongarrie South. The Kalgoorlie Nickel Project (KNP) premium ore feed will be from its Goongarrie Hub, located 70km northwest of the mining centre City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Ardea are continuing with additional battery and critical mineral exploration to maximise the value of their strategic KNP ground holding.High impact exploration continues at KNP for additional Battery and Critical minerals with the nickel sulphide discovery at Emu Lake ( ASX announcement dated 14 January 2022) and Ionic Adsorption Clay REE discovery at Goongarrie West ( ASX announcement dated 30 January 2023).A provisional patent application has been filed with IP Australia (for more, see ASX announcement dated 16 November 2022). The PFS work includes a major flowsheet refinement utilising Mineralised Neutraliser concept, the outcome of Ardea’s R&D to utilise in-pit saprock.A PFS for 3.5Mtpa base case is current with material and metallugical studies, updated Ore Reserve, pit designs and site layout.The Kalgoorlie Nickel Project has been awarded Major Project Status (MPS) by the Australian Federal Government, recognising the national and strategic significance of the KNP to the Australian economy and the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.Sustainable and ethical supply of battery and Critical Minerals for a low carbon future.KNP offers stable, secure and ethical supply of highest quality battery-grade nickel and cobalt to feed the Electric Vehicle and Static Storage Battery revolution for decades to come.KNP is the largest nickel-cobalt resource in Australia ( GSWA Feb 2022).Globally significant nickel and cobalt Mineral Resource at the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project (KNP) with Mineral Resource 5.9Mt contained nickel and 384kt contained cobalt (plus 3.39kt scandium, from just Goongarrie deposits) and pipeline of other Critical Minerals.Latest News - KNP Kalgoorlie Nickel Project Mineralised Neutraliser International Patent Application Lodged Nickel sulphide anomalism from aircore drilling at Kalpini Project Quarterly Activities Report - March 2023 KNP Awarded Major Project Status by Australian Federal Government
