PNR International Metals Group

Premium Nickel Resources International (“PNRI”) a wholly owned subsidiary of PNRL, has established a specialized “Premium Metals Group” to focus on various aspects of the critical metals market. This group comprises professionals with expertise in finance, international relations, business development, industrial metals, metals pricing and trading, supply chain logistics, and nickel and copper mining production and beneficiation operations. The primary objective of the Premium Metals Group is to support Premium Nickel Resources’ business strategy and overall financial investments for reopening the Botswana mines.

Premium Metals Group will focus on positioning the organization effectively within the Nickel and Copper industries. This will involve understanding and adapting to the new market demands brought about by the electrification and energy transformation sectors. Traditional demand for smelter-refined metals is being replaced by the need for intermediate concentrates, sulphides, and sulphates to meet emerging demands, particularly in battery markets. Premium Nickel Resources aims to leverage modern technology, sustainable practices, environmental responsibility, and new economic models to successfully introduce highly competitive products into the global market.
