Nickel: The Secret Driver of the Battery Revolution
Nickel Laterites: Low grade, bulk-tonnage deposits that make up 62.4% of current production. Nickel Sulfides: Higher grade, but rarer deposits that make up 37.5% of current production. Many laterite deposits are used to produce nickel pig iron and ferronickel, which are cheap inputs to make Chinese stainless steel.
