Crawford's First-Quartile Cost Curve Cushions It From Nickel's Price Slide
Canada Nickel's Crawford project demonstrates strong economic resilience with a first-quartile net C1 cash cost of US$0.39/lb, bolstered by significant by-product credits from iron, chromium, and cobalt. Recent 2025 FEED work has improved the project's after-tax NPV to US$2.8 billion and IRR to 17.6%, despite a modest 5% increase in initial capital costs compared to the 2023 feasibility study.
