$HTSC Giga Metals Corp (OTCQB: HNCKF) provided earlier in September an update regarding certain nickel market developments. "We were not surprised to learn today about Vale's decision to place their High Pressure, High Temperature Acid Leach (HPAL) operation in New Caledonia, commonly known as Goro, on care and maintenance" said Mr. Vydra. "HPAL is exceedingly complex and can be prone to failure.Even the best designed and constructed facilities must rely on experienced and well-trained personnel or they are likely to suffer setback after setback."Earlier this year the Ambatovy HPAL operation in Madagascar was also placed on care and maintenance. These two operations represent nameplate capacity of close to 120,000 tons per year of nickel and 10,000 tons per year of cobalt.
