TORONTO (Reuters) - Junior miner Canada Nickel Co Ltd has held talks with U.S. government officials about potentially supplying nickel for electric car batteries, its chief executive said, amid mounting concern in Washington about China’s dominance of global supply chains.
“It’s become very clear that there’s large portions of the periodic table for which the United States has no local source of supply,” Canada Nickel chief executive Mark Selby said in an interview. He confirmed the talks but declined further comment.
