Platinum, palladium, copper and nickel: critical metals for the transformative technologies which are powering Western economies. Clean Air Metals (AIR.V) is exploring two deposits, Current and Escape, near Thunder Bay which show great potential as sources for all four of these important metals.
One of the challenges in the junior resource exploration/development sector is attaching a credible net asset value to potential assets in the ground. A 43-101 resource estimate is helpful, so is a preliminary economic assessment; but neither really attaches a hard cash value to a company’s project.
The market is usually right about exploration and development companies. The good ones get cashed up, the others have a hard time raising funds.
Producing a 43-101 compliant resource estimate is a huge step forward for any junior resource company. For Abraham Drost, CEO of Clean Air Metals (TSXV: AIR), this was an especially satisfying moment because it confirms a new approach to a potentially very valuable platinum group metals deposit.
