Recording Date 7-7-2026. In this episode, Darren explains how Centaurus built its position in Brazil over nearly two decades before acquiring the Jaguar project, assembling an experienced development team, advancing permitting, and preparing for construction. We discuss the company's debt-free balance sheet, shareholder structure, and the technical advantages of sulfide nickel over laterite deposits, including lower capital intensity, smaller environmental footprint, and competitive operating costs.
I also ask Darren about Jaguar's resource size, production profile, Glencore's strategic offtake agreement, and the financing process leading toward a final investment decision. We explore the project's cost position, long mine life, future underground expansion, and why management believes Jaguar can compete globally even during weak nickel markets. Darren also explains how project funding, strategic partnerships, and disciplined execution remain the final milestones before construction begins, positioning Centaurus to enter production as market conditions improve.
