Brian Spratley telling us about "Mining and Mineral Exploration in Oman"

Brian Spratley, B.Sc(Hons) MMIM CEng, Mining Engineer, CEO Knights Bay Orix presentation provides a comprehensive update on the Knights Bay Minerals (KBM) nickel-laterite project in Oman (Concession 21). The core message is the transition from exploration to development, leveraging the project's resource potential within the favorable, diversifying Omani mining sector. Key Points: Project Context: KBM is developing a large, multi-commodity project in Oman (nickel, cobalt, iron, chrome, plus potential REE's/PGMs), which is significant for Oman's non-oil economic diversification strategy. Resource & Geology: The presentation details the lateritic nickel deposit geology (Types A, B, C), confirming the presence of nickel, cobalt, iron, and other critical minerals through drilling and resource delineation work. Development Strategy: A focus is placed on Geometallurgy and a planned alternative processing approach (TGEM) to traditional HPAL, aiming for a low-carbon, integrated production model. Outlook: The company outlines its plan, timelines, and strategy for securing assistance (local/foreign universities, UK Gov) to advance the project toward a final production decision. In short, it's a technical and corporate update confirming the geological model and advancing the development plan for the strategically important nickel-laterite project in Oman.
