In the latest instalment of our exclusive video series, Harbor Insight’s Chris Cann speaks with Ardea Resources (ASX:ARL) Chief Executive Andrew Penkethman about how the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project is built for long-term growth.
With 4 million tonnes of contained nickel in the broader Goongarrie Hub, and only six of nine deposits assessed to date, the project already boasts a 40-year mine life — and substantial upside still ahead.
- Geological advantage: Premium goethite material offers low acid consumption, high grades, and low energy use.
- Built-in expansion: The processing plant is designed for modular, brownfields growth to reduce capex and accelerate future phases.
- Exploration upside: Ardea also retains 100% ownership of the Kalpini hub, hosting another 2 million tonnes of nickel and promising additional potential across nickel sulphides, gold, lithium, and rare earths.
“Our focus is on delivering Goongarrie to production — but the upside from the broader project area is immense,” says Penkethman.
