“We are very excited to work with EDCC toward the creation of a new royalty company which will hold NSR royalties of the Company’s portfolio of properties in the Timmins Nickel District which, when combined, we expect to be among the world’s largest nickel sulphide resources. We have published resources on two of these properties and expect to announce a further six resources by mid-2025. This transaction is just one further step in unlocking value while minimizing equity dilution for Canada Nickel shareholders.,” commented Mark Selby, CEO of Canada Nickel.
