PRO in collaboration with the Botswana Institute for Technology Research and Innovation (BITRI) have completed a bench and pilot program to recover battery grade Ni and Co from a Cu/Ni concentrate. This program has successfully demonstrated the key outcomes with recovery of target elements, namely Ni, Co, Cu and Fe into marketable products.

This presents a major opportunity for the revitalization of Ni mining in Botswana and the beginning of supply of materials and subsequent production of green energy.
