Nico Resources share price continues its upwards momentum

It seems many in the market are as optimistic about Nico Resources as its management. Talking on the company’s float, its CEO and managing director Rod Corps commented:
Nico Resources is well placed to be able to partner with some of the largest end users in the world to create a long-term supply option for the rapidly growing EV sector…
The board believes that with the increasing demand for both nickel and cobalt associated with the battery minerals sector requires a substantial increase in environmentally and ethically sustainable nickel production.
The company’s Wilgellina Project, located within its Central Musgrave Project, is a large undeveloped nickel deposit.
As of its first close, Nico Resources had a market capitalisation of around $31.4 million, according to CommSec.
