Richard Williams, an experienced mining professional, is exploring a high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt project in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, alongside Chris McKenzie of Peak Nickel. The site, with a four-kilometre strike length and strong infrastructure near Aberdeen, offers both open-pit and underground mining opportunities. Despite historical drilling by major companies like Rio Tinto, only 10% of the area has been explored, leaving significant potential untapped.
Local support and long-term agreements for a 100-year mining lease have strengthened the project’s foundation. Williams highlights the opportunity’s significance, saying, “We’ve barely scratched the surface.” The team aims to confirm a 10–20 million tonne resource to help position Scotland as a key supplier of critical minerals in Europe’s energy transition.
