Bull points
- Finished nickel and coal production in the quarter both increased year over year from higher mix sulfide speed availability at the refinery.
- As Leon mentioned, for the year, nickel production, cobalt production, and the MDCC all met our 2024 guidance range.
- In 2025, we expect an increase in production of nickel and cobalt. We see production to be weighted towards the back half of the year, in part because MSP inventory at the refinery is currently low as a result of the external challenges in Cuba last quarter.
Bear points
- due to the challenges involving the national power grid in Cuba, the government power agency required Intergas to run the Varadero facility in frequency control, reducing power generation to help support the stability of the national grid.
- Even with this impact, for the full year, power production was within its guidance range and unit operating costs were just 1% above the top end of the range.
- the challenging price environment for nickel and cobalt. During the fourth quarter, average realized prices for nickel and cobalt were lower year over year by 8% and 29% respectively partially mitigated by our nickel put options with 4.7 million received during the quarter.
