Canada Nickel Company: Navigating the Lassonde Trough Towards Construction
Canada Nickel Company (CNC) remains in the “Lassonde trough,” the gap between feasibility studies and construction for its Crawford nickel project. The company faces a CAD 29.7 million (≈US $21.7 million) bridge loan maturing in May 2026, offset by about CAD 13.8 million (≈US $10 million) in cash. Visibility on the $2.5 billion funding package—comprising debt letters of intent, investment tax credits, and strategic equity from Samsung SDI—is expected by Q3 2026. With the market valuing CNC at roughly 0.1 times the project’s $2.8 billion NPV, the stock reflects both the sizable capital hurdle and the upside from favorable nickel macro trends.
