Resolves YES if Knights Bay reports that nickel production from Block 21 in Oman exceeds 200,000 tonnes by the end of 2031. The authoritative data source for resolution will be Knights Bay's official production reports or press releases, typically available on their website or through industry publications. This threshold is significant as it marks Oman's potential emergence as a major player in the global nickel market, particularly in the context of the energy transition and increasing demand for critical minerals. The project is positioned to become one of the largest nickel mines globally, with full production anticipated in 2030-31. Any updates or changes to the production schedule will be considered as long as they are officially announced by Knights Bay.

Marketed plans for 200 kt/year by 2030–31 are aggressive given the current stage (still defining a code‑compliant resource and pilot plant), and global nickel oversupply plus cost inflation make delays likely; I’d treat this as a classic “developer optimism vs. execution reality” case and price below one‑third unless you see concrete FID, financing, and construction milestones in the next 2–3 years.
