Corcel - Update

Corcel is best known for its vast PNG nickel laterite Mambare Project which was once valued at £40 million. It has been a bit quiet over recent years as the company has gone through a substantial restructuring since the previous Chairman was removed by shareholders. The decks have now been cleared and a period of substantial growth has begun. With James Parsons now at the helm and the 12 month “legacy clean up” behind them, investors are now witnessing the creation of a highly relevant vehicle.

  • Positioned to benefit from expected price hike in battery metals

    The transition to a low carbon world needs grid level storage for renewables to be a viable and stable source of energy. Hence we are seeing investors clamor for exposure to batteries and battery metals where a supply crunch is expected in the mid-2020s onwards with big structural price hikes.

  • Mambare is positioned to become a DSO nickel supplier to China

    A Mining Lease could be awarded within 4-6 months allowing a DSO operation to proceed, funded jointly with a JV partner. Together with Wowo Gap, another big PNG nickel project that looks like it is coming to the Company, Corcel is set to become a major nickel-cobalt player in the region.

  • Big opportunities as the UK switches to flexible power generation

    Corcel is investing in energy storage/renewable projects to provide critical services to the UK grid as it transitions from coal/nuclear generated power to renewables. Already, the team has 170MW of well-advanced projects, strongly backed by a major pipeline of projects that are under review.

  • Peer comparisons & industry metrics suggest 900% upside

    Our conservative valuation begins to show the potential. We update coverage of Corcel with a target price of 19.35p and Conviction Buy stance.
