Headquartered in Vancouver, BC, FPX is focused on the development of the Decar Nickel District in central British Columbia, including its flagship project the Baptiste Nickel Project. Once operational Baptiste is positioned to supply the electric vehicle battery and stainless-steel supply chains with some of the lowest carbon-intensive nickel produced anywhere in the world.
