Assay TV sits down with Mark Jarvis, CEO and chairman of Giga Metals (TSXV: GIGA), a company focusing on one of the world’s largest undeveloped resources of sulphide nickel and cobalt, known as the Turnagain Project, in north-central British Columbia, Canada.
Recently, Giga Metals released a significant mineral resource upgrade based on an additional 15 drill holes. Mark says the drilling has increased overall certainty in the model, and has increased measured and indicated resources by 42% to 1.5B tonnes, including 7M lbs of contained nickel.
Mark explains that he expects a pre-feasibility study for Turnagain to be released in the first half of 2023. This will be funded by recent joint-venture partner Mitsubishi Corp. He also says Giga Metals is looking for the next minority interest partner – and is in discussion with carmakers and battery manufacturers – to help take Turnagain all the way to being shovel-ready.
