Metals One is developing the Black-Schist project in Finland and the Råna project in Norway, with the aim of becoming a key source of strategic metals to the EU. Both projects have the potential to produce ‘class 1’ high-purity nickel and are either adjacent or analogous to other world-class deposits.

Metals One had an end-FY23 book value of 4.24p/share. At the same time, its US$14.17 per tonne of in-situ nickel resource rating is at a 42.0% discount to the updated global average of US$24.41/t. This appears to afford little or no premium for Metals One’s other assets (eg Råna), which we calculate could be worth 0.35p/share, its premium location in Europe or its potential to expand resources via additional exploration (note that it is targeting 3x growth in its Black-Schist project resource to c 200Mt).

Financials

We calculate that the existing resource at Metals One’s Black-Schist project in Finland is capable of supporting a low capex, low opex bio-heap leach mine (akin to Terrafame) to produce c 14,000tpa nickel sulphate for the electric vehicle battery market over c 20 years and could be in production as early as 2030 at a low carbon intensity. Currently the subject of a preliminary economic assessment, we estimate that a project NPV of just US$4.1m or higher could catalyse a re-rating in Metals One’s shares.
