Collapsed nickel explorer set to bounce back

Prior to the recession's onset, Albidon had been operating the Munali Nickel Mine in Zambia for less than a year, while prospecting for the same mineral in Botswana, Tanzania and Tunisia.

Outside Zambia, Albidon had hoped to progress the Selebi-Phikwe exploration to resource estimation and further development, using the mine development experience gained at Munali and benefiting from the geological similarities between the countries.
