Hunter Dickinson to Make Strategic Investment in Independent Nickel

July 31, 2008

Independent Nickel announced today that it has agreed to terms of a $14 million financing with a private company in the Hunter Dickinson group ("Hunter Dickinson").

Under the terms of the financing, Hunter Dickinson will subscribe for 40,000,000 Units of Independent Nickel at $0.35 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $14,000,000, on a non-brokered basis. Each Unit will consist of one common share of Independent Nickel and one Warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of Independent Nickel for $0.45 in the first year and $0.50 in the second year following the date of the closing of the financing.

The proceeds of the financing will be used to advance feasibility and other studies on Independent Nickel's Lynn Lake Nickel property.

Hunter Dickinson has completed all aspects of technical due diligence on the Lynn Lake Nickel property, as well as all corporate due diligence on Independent Nickel. In addition, the proposed transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both Hunter Dickinson and Independent Nickel. The financing is subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange and approval by Independent Nickel shareholders. Following the private placement, Hunter Dickinson will own approximately 40% of Independent Nickel's outstanding shares. If the warrants are fully exercised, Hunter Dickinson's ownership will increase to 57%, having invested up to $34 million in Independent Nickel common shares.

Concurrent with the completion of the financing, two nominees of Hunter Dickinson will be appointed to the Board of Directors of Independent Nickel. In addition, Independent Nickel will have access to the technical expertise at Hunter Dickinson. This access to specialized personnel will allow Independent Nickel to rapidly advance the Lynn Lake project.

Armed with the financial and technical support of Hunter Dickinson, Independent Nickel will be strongly positioned to pursue corporate development opportunities, particularly as they relate to the consolidation of advanced-stage North American nickel projects.

"This strategic investment by Hunter Dickinson moves Independent Nickel forward on two fronts," stated Independent Nickel President and CEO, Richard Murphy. "It provides the necessary funding to advance Lynn Lake through full feasibility and towards production and, of equal importance, it gives Independent Nickel access to a deep talent pool of successful mine builders and company builders. I look forward to working with Hunter Dickinson to make Independent Nickel into a large, diversified nickel company."

Ronald Thiessen, President and CEO of Hunter Dickinson, stated, "The Lynn Lake Project represents an advanced stage nickel project, with near team production and exciting exploration opportunities. The Lynn Lake Project is located in the very favorable geo-political jurisdiction of Manitoba, Canada and presents an opportunity to grow our presence in the district and region overall. We are investing in Independent Nickel because the company has done an excellent job to date and we want to keep the team and assets intact and allow Hunter Dickinson to contribute to Independent Nickel's long term success."

Nickel iss out immo..........


Nickel: Auf der Suche nach einem Boden


Während bei Gold angesichts des Rückschlags von seinem Jahreshoch bei 1032 Dollar (17.03.08) auf aktuell 815 Dollar bereits von einem Crash gesprochen wird, hat es so manches Industriemetall um einiges stärker erwischt. So fiel zum Beispiel das hauptsächlich in der Stahlbranche benötigte Nickel im Cash-Handel der London Metal Exchange vom Jahreshoch bei über 33.000 Dollar auf nur noch 19.550 Dollar ab, was einem Verlust von über 40 Prozent entspricht. Im Mai 2007 kostete eine Tonne Nickel sogar über 54.000 Dollar.

Dass dies bei den Produzenten von Nickel erhebliche Probleme schafft, liegt auf der Hand. Sie leiden nicht nur unter den stark rückläufigen Verkaufserlösen, sondern zudem unter markant gestiegenen Kosten. Hohe Preise für Energie, Personal und Rohstoffe machen viele Nickel-Minen unrentabel. So gab zum Beispiel der anglo-schweizerische Rohstoffkonzern Xstrata am Dienstag bekannt, dass man die Nickelmine Falcondo in der Dominikanischen Republik für vier Monate schließen werde. Deren Jahresleistung wurde auf 29.000 Tonnen beziffert. Ähnliche Produktionskürzungen waren auch von anderen Gesellschaften wie zum Beispiel der Industrial Metallurgical Holding, von Vale do Rio sowie vom Branchenprimus BHP Billiton zu hören.

Ob diese Verknappung des Angebots die Preise stimulieren kann, ist angesichts der schwachen Konjunkturaussichten dennoch fraglich. Aus charttechnischer Sicht versucht sich Nickel derzeit an einer Bodenbildung. Die Rohstoff-Analysten von Barclays Capital halten bei weiteren Kürzungen Preisreaktionen nach oben durchaus für möglich.

Laut der International Nickel Study Group (INSG) stieg die weltweite Primärproduktion von Nickel im vergangenen Jahr auf 1,44 Mio. Tonnen (2006: 1,35 Mio. Tonnen). Für das laufende Jahr wurde im April die Produktionsmenge auf 1,54 Mio. Tonnen geschätzt, so viel wie nie zuvor. Dass diese Zuwächse in einem fragilen wirtschaftlichen Umfeld sich negativ auf die Preise des Industriemetalls auswirken, ist daher durchaus nachvollziehbar. Die Stärke des Absturzes war dennoch eine Überraschung.
