Boliden is a very important partner that has increased its efforts and ambitions for Europe and the Nordics. Their strategic focus and vision are well in line with our own goals and values. This was the first step in the process and we continue to work on possible offtake agreements for nickel and cobalt," continues Roberto García Martínez.
