The powerful effects of impact investing on social environment Investing in nickel opens up a lot of opportunities not just for stock market investors but also for miners and geologists. After all, there’s money to be made in the silvery-white metal as it plays a significant role in the preparation of alloys and is used to make stainless steel. And as some of you may know, 65 percent of nickel used in the Western World is used to produce stainless steel. Research from CSA Global said 70 percent of worldwide nickel deposits are classified as laterites, while 30 percent are sulfides. According to Geology for Investors, nickel laterite deposits occur in the 23.5 parallels of the north and south of the equator. The deposits are present in these areas for their warm, tropical environments, which in turn allow for chemical and mechanical weathering to take place. Meanwhile some deposits are also found beyond the tropical belt such as Oregon, Russia and Canada. Below are some of the largest deposits that investors should keep an eye on.

New Caledonia The United Nations University website reported that New Caledonia, a special collectivity of France in Melanesia, possess a great deal of metallic mineral ores, significantly of nickel, cobalt, chromium, iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, manganese, and antimony. According to Mining.com, the country accounts for a quarter of the world’s known nickel reserves. The country is also replete with deposits of coal, gypsum, giobertite (magnesium carbonate), and phosphate, the website added. This makes mining an integral part of New Caledonia’s export economy, sharing 90 percent of exports and outperforming other industries such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. Majority of New Caledonia’s nickel deposits are found in the Goro Plateau. Data from Mining Technology revealed that proven and inferred reserves in the initial mining area of the plateau have a total of 124 million tones, with an average of 1.48 percent nickel, and cobalt at 0.11 percent. This makes it the highest nickel content among global laterite deposits.

There are also indicated and measured resources of some 55 million tons found in 2009 in the area containing an average of 1.49 percent nickel, and 0.12 percent cobalt. The Goro Nickel Project, which is owned by Brazilian company Vale, is situated in the plateau and is one of the largest mines in the island. It began production in August 2010 despite several delays, and is forecasted to produce 60,000 tons of nickel and 4,300 tons to 5,000 tons of cobalt. The Goro Nickel Project, South Pacific Island of New Caledonia. Western Australia According to the Government of Western Australia’s Department of Mines and Petroleum, the state’s nickel boom took place between 1967 and 1971, following several discoveries in Kambalda, Western Australia, Mount Windarra and Agnew. The Kambalda deposit was categorized as nickel sulfide and propelled Australia to the global nickel mining stage. The state’s nickel laterite deposits are found in Yilgarn Craton.

Based on data from the United States Geological Survey and latest Australian resource figures, Australia as a whole accounts for 24.4 percent of the world’s 72.6 metric ton economic resources of nickel in 2012. The country shares the largest economic resources of the metal, followed by New Caledonia (16.5 percent), Brazil (10.3 percent), Russia (8.4 percent) and Cuba (7.6 percent). Indonesia In terms of high-grade resources, Indonesia’s in-situ nickel laterite inventory is the largest globally, and the second highest grade after New Caledonia, according to information published on Direct Nickel’s website. The laterites are mostly present in Sulawesi and Halmahera. Massive nickel demand from China’s booming industries has resulted in an increase in Indonesian exports of unprocessed nickel laterite ore from 4 metric tons in 2006 to 41 metric tons in 2011. Over 50 percent of nickel laterite imports into China came from Indonesia. P.T. Aneka Tambang, the state-run mining firm, and P.T.

Inco, are the two major nickel miners in the country, according to MBendi Information Services. Vale’s nickel mining and metals division is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It produces nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, gold, and silver. South America SEE ALSO Joko Widodo and the Flourishing Indonesian Mining Industry South America’s largest nickel reserves are found in Colombia and Brazil, allowing both countries to produce 72,000 metric tons and 83,000 metric tons of the metal, respectively, according to the USGS: Mineral Commodity Summary 2011. Colombia, in particular, possesses six large nickel deposits that contain reserves of up to 46.48 million tons, a Seeking Alpha report revealed. Brazil, on the other hand, has the seventh largest nickel reserves of nickel in the world, according to research from PriceWaterhouseCoopers in 2011. These reserves are distributed across its five states, Goias, Para, Piaui, Minas Gerais, and Sao Paulo.

IBRAM, however, reported that Brazil’s reserves rank third among the world’s largest reserves, boasting of measured and indicated nickel reserves equivalent to 8.7 million tons of contained ore. Major players in Brazil include Rio Tinto, which owns the Fortaleza mine, and Anglo American PLC, which owns projects in Codemin. BHP Billiton, meanwhile, owns the Cerro Matoso ferronickel mine in Colombia. Philippines Nickel deposits in the Philippines are scattered across the archipelago, but the laterite ones are largely found specifically in the province of Surigao in northeastern Mindanao. This is the main source of production in the country. The facilities that mine this area produce ore that is shipped straight to Japan. Major players in the nickel mining industry of the Philippines include Nickel Asia, Philnico Developments Ltd, Hinatuan Mining Corp, Queensland Nickel, which is owned by mining giant BHP Billiton, Sumitomo Metal Mining Co Ltd, Nissho Iwai Corp and Rio Tuba Mining Corp., according to Mbendi.

The latter three jointly own The Coral Bay project in Bataraza, southern Palawan which is expected to produce 10,000 tons of nickel and 750 tons of cobalt as a mixed sulphide annually. Nickel Asia is the Philippines’ largest producer of lateritic nickel ore and one of the largest in the world. The Philippines has the fifth largest nickel reserves in the world. According to the Philippine Mines Geosciences Bureau, the number of nickel mines in the country has swelled from 15 in 2010 to 27 in 2014. Citing data from the MGB, the Oxford Business Group reported in November last year, that the country’s nickel mining industry had produced an estimated P30 billion or ($667.2 million) worth of nickel ore in 2013. It is expected that the country will play a much larger role in the global nickel production after four new projects, which are in development, begin operations between now through 2017, Nickel Investing News reported. At present, 21 of the country’s 35 mines in operation produce nickel.

Russia Russian nickel deposits are classified as nickel sulfide, which are the primary source of high-grade nickel ore. According to Ahead of the Herd, 58 percent of global nickel production comes from nickel sulfide. The largest sulfide deposit in the country is found in Norilsk, which also happens to be the largest across the globe. Norilsk Nickel is the Russian mine responsible for mining the said deposit, and was able to produce 236,000 metric tons out of the total 269,000 metric tons of Russian nickel production in 2010. Another large deposit, in the Amur Oblast, is being explored by Amur Minerals Corporation (LSE:AMC) . Called Kun-Manie, the deposit was found to have 39.2 million tons of ore reserves that could yield 219,000 tons of nickel and 58,100 tons of copper. Sources: World Nickel Deposit « Explo Memorabilia Author World Nickel Deposit Nickel (Ni) is the fifth most abundant element in the earth, even so, it is rare in crustal rocks.

This element has became important commodity and been used in many industrial and consumer product such as stainless steel, magnet, rechargeable batteries electric guitar string and special alloy. About 65% of the nickel consumed in the Western World is used to make austenitic stainless steel. Another 12% goes into superalloys (e.g., Inconel 600) or nonferrous alloys (e.g., cupronickel). Both families of alloys are widely used because of their corrosion resistance. The aerospace industry is a leading consumer of nickel-base superalloys. Turbine blades, discs and other critical parts of jet engines are fabricated from superalloys. Nickel-base superalloys are also used in land-based combustion turbines, such those found at electric power generation stations. The remaining 23% of consumption is divided between alloy steels, rechargeable batteries, catalysts and other chemicals, coinage, foundry products, and plating. Nickel-bearing deposits come from 2 types of deposits, the nickel laterite and nickel sulfide. Nickel laterite are formed from chemical weathering of ultramafic rocks.

This deposits are found in Western Australia, New Caledonia, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil and Dominican Repulic. While, deposits of nickel sulfides are formed from the precipitation of nickel minerals by hydrothermal fluids. These sulfide deposits are also called as magmatic sulfide deposits and found in Australia, Canada, Russia and South Africa. World’s total reserves of nickel is about 71 million tones (USGS data, 2009). Among these, production has made in some countries. Russia is the world’s primarily leading country in nickel production. Most of them are produced in Norilsk, the largest nickel deposit in the world. One-fifth of the world’s nickel are produced from smelter in Norilsk. All of those Russian nickels come from nickels sulfide which is the primary source of mined nickel in the world. After Russia, Indonesia is the second largest nickel producer countries. But, Indonesian nickels are sourced from nickel laterite. Indonesian tropical climate is considered to be the main factor of the massive laterite deposit in Indonesia. Two nickel smelters currently operate in eastern Indonesia, owned by Aneka Tambang and Inco (subsidiary of Vale).

Today, nickel sulfide deposits are the primary source of the mined nickel in the world. About 58% of world’s nickel production come from nickel sulfide and only 42% of them come from nickel laterite. However, trend of future nickel production are seem to change because nickel sulfide deposit are continue depleting due to long history of exploitation. With the current lack of high quality nickel sulfides exploration target, nickel laterites are most-likely to be developed as future primary nickel source.

The biggest market that trades in nickel is London Metal Exchange (LME).Commonly found in iron meteorites, Nickel is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Hard and ductile, resistant to corrosion, low conductivity, and many other characteristics make copper useful in the production of industrial and consumer products such as stainless steel, magnets, batteries, coinage, and electric guitar strings.

Nickel is used in many alloys including nickel brasses and bronzes, and alloys with copper, chromium, aluminium, lead, cobalt, gold, and silver. Nickel is one of the five ferromagnetic metals present on earth with Cobalt, Iron, Gadolinium and Dysprosium. The World Map - Nickel Producers Map shows a list of the countries that produce the largest quantities of nickel. As the data in the map shows, Russia is the largest nickel-producing nation in the world. In 2011, the country producing 280000 metric tonnes of nickel. The world consumption level of nickel is around 1.15 million tons. Countries of the European Union and Japan are the largest consumers of nickel in the world. Philippines is the second-largest nickel producer in the world followed by Indonesia, Canada, Australia, New Caledonia, Brazil, China, Cuba, Colombia, South Africa, Botswana, Madagascar, and Dominican Republic. World Nickel Mine Production 2014 (in metric tonnes of Nickel Content) COUNTRY World's top 10 gold deposits | MINING.com World's top 10 gold deposits Aug.

7, 2013, 8:12 PM | PeopleMine Facebook LinkedIn Twitter Email Print Today, we present the world's Top 10 producing Gold Mines. Compiling them was not easy because there are a few ways they can be ranked. A top 10 list can by compiled by annual production, or by the size of proven and probable reserves, or more generally by their measured, indicated & inferred resources (which include reserves). We ultimately decided to rank them based on the overall size of gold resources to give the viewer a truer sense of the deposits size and potential. Please enjoy our Top 10 List as we begin with the smallest and work our way to Number #1. #10 | Obuasi | 29,830,000 Oz Gold Location: GHANA, western Africa In the #10 spot is Obuasi, owned by major gold producer AngloGold Ashanti. It is primarily a high-grade underground mine with periodic open-pit operations during its long history. It is located in the Ashanti region of southwest Ghana in western Africa; a prolific gold producing region for centuries.

The underground operation extends to a depth of 1,500 meters or 4,900 feet (almost a mile). Mining began at Obuasi more than 110 years ago, in 1897 when it was originally known as the Ashanti Mine. #9 | CADIA EAST | 37,600,000 Oz Gold Location: New South Wales, AUSTRALIA In the #9 spot is Cadia East, owned by Australian major Newcrest. The large underground mining operation is part of a trio of gold mines, in close proximity to one another, known collectively as Newcrest's Cadia Valley Operations, roughly 250 kilometers west of Sydney. The other two mines are Cadia Hill and Ridgeway. Cadia Hill is a large open-pit mine nearing the end of its useful life just as the newly developed Cadia East recently began its expected 30 year mine life. Gold was first discovered in the gold and copper bearing Cadia region in 1851 and Cadia East was discovered in 1994.

#8 | MPONENG | 39,557,000 Oz Gold Location: Near Johannesburg, SOUTH AFRICA In the #8 spot is Mponeng, owned by South African major AngloGold Ashanti. It is located just 65km west of Johannesburg in one of the world's most prolific mining regions known as the Witwatersrand. In addition to being one of the largest, Mponeng is also one of the world's deepest underground mines. It extends over 2 miles below the surface and it takes over an hour to reach the bottom. The rocks at this depth reach a temperature of 150 degrees farenheit requiring slurry ice be pumped underground to cool the environment down to a bearable 85 degrees.

Find out more at #7 | PUEBLO VIEJO | 40,085,000 Oz Gold Location: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Coming in at #7 is Pueblo Viejo, owned jointly by majors Barrick (60%) and Goldcorp (40%). This large deposit is located in the Dominican Republic, roughly 100km northwest of the capital of Santo Domingo. It might surprise some that this small island nation is rich in mineral reserves. The open pit mine is very new and began production in January 2013. It also has large silver and copper reserves to complement its gold deposit. As it ramps up to full production, it will also be one of the largest producers in the world, but we'll save production figures for a separate Top 10 List. #6 | OYU TOLGOI | 46,340,000 Oz Gold Location: South Gobi Desert, MONGOLIA At #6 on our list is Oyu Tolgoi, owned jointly by Rio Tinto (34%), Turquoise Hill (32%) and Mongolia (34%).

This is another newly developed mammoth deposit located in the remote southern reaches of Mongolia. The mine cost the princely sum of US$6.6B to develop and went into production in January 2013. In addition to its 46Moz+ of gold, it also contains over 40 billion pounds of copper worth US$140B. It's really a copper mine masquerading as a gold mine. It will also be one of the largest gold and copper producers on earth as it ramps up to full production. #5 | OLYMPIADA | 47,500,000 Oz Gold Location: Central Siberia, RUSSIA In the #5 spot is Olympiada, owned solely by Russian major Polyus. This large open-pit mine is located in the country's most prolific gold bearing region; the Krasnoyarsk krai in central Siberia. In fact this area is at the heart Russian natural resource production in general. Olympiada was discovered in 1970 and finally went into production in 1996 and despite its age it has plenty of resource life left.

Russia is the 4th largest gold producer in the world, and as Russia's biggest producer, Olympiada was responsible for 9% of the total in 2012. #4 | MURUNTAU | 50,000,000 Oz Gold Location: Kyzyl Kum Desert, UZBEKISTAN At #4, Muruntau is physically the largest open pit gold mine on earth, measuring 3.5km x 2.5km across (2.2mi x 1.6mi) at the surface. This megalith of a mine is currently owned by the Uzbek government. Like its cousins, Oyu Tolgoi and Olympiada, this mine is located on the remote fringes of the Asian steppe. Production began in the late 60's, as modern larger scale production ramped up in the 1990's with Newmont's involvement. Although large, the deposits true size is hard to ascertain due to a less than transparent owner.

#3 | LIHIR | 64,100,000 Oz Gold Location: Niolam (aka Lihir) Island, PAPUA NEW GUINEA Now we're entering rarified air. In the #3 spot is Lihir at a whopping 64Moz+. This large tropical open pit mine began production in 1997 and is currently owned by Australian major Newcrest who acquired it in 2010 for a cool US$22B. It's another remote mine, located on the small island of Lihir, over 900km (560mi) east of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The pit is actually in the caldera of an extinct volcano that is geothermically active. Retrofitting is currently underway to dramatically increase production, which will likely make it one of the largest gold producers as well. #2 | SOUTH DEEP | 81,413,000 Oz Gold Location: Near Johannesburg, SOUTH AFRICA #2 South Deep is also located in the Witwatersrand Basin, very near to 8th place Mponeng.

Similarly, it is a high-grade deep underground mine, just southwest of Johannesburg. The mine is in the early stages of ramping up to full production. Mining began at the site in 1961 and Gold Fields bought the operation in 2006. The mine produced 273,000 ounces in 2012 and is expected to produce 770,000 ounces annually by 2015. Amazingly, it is estimated that the mine will maintain this high rate of production until 2057 with mine life lasting until 2080. #1 | GRASBERG | 106,231,000 Oz Gold Location: Papua, INDONESIA At #1, Grasberg is the granddaddy of them all containing a whopping 100Moz+ of gold. The massive mine is owned by Freeport McMoRan but includes a sizeable sharing agreement with miner Rio Tinto. The site is located in the mountains at an altitude of 4,300 meters or 14,000 feet.

In truth, Grasberg produces far more copper, by value, than gold and thus represents one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines. The operations consist of both open pit and underground mines, and have been in operation since the 1980's and the pit forms an enormous mile wide crater.

Nickel - Geoscience Australia Nickel Resource figures are current as at 30 December 2014. Commentary is current as of January 2016. More than 80% of nickel production is used in alloys. When alloyed with other elements, nickel imparts toughness, strength, resistance to corrosion and various electrical, magnetic and heat resistant properties.

About 65% of world nickel output is consumed in the manufacture of stainless steel, which is used widely in the chemical industry, motor vehicles, the construction industry and in consumer products such as sinks, cooking utensils, cutlery and white-goods. Resources Australia's Economic Demonstrated Resources (EDR) of nickel increased by 7.3% from 17.7 million tonnes (Mt) in 2012 to 19 Mt in 2014 as a result of mining companies revising their resources. Australia's EDR of nickel can be subdivided as follows: About 37% of Australia's EDR comprises Reserves as defined under the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Code. About 63% is made up of published JORC Code compliant Measured and Indicated Resources. Western Australia (WA) retains the largest nickel resources with 95.3% of total Australian EDR. Queensland (Qld) is the second largest with 4.5%, followed by Tasmania (Tas) with 0.2%. The EDR in WA comprises both sulfide and laterite deposits, while EDR in Qld is associated with laterite deposits.

Subeconomic Demonstrated Resources (Paramarginal plus Submarginal Demonstrated Resources) accounted for about 17.7% of total Identified Resources in 2014. Paramarginal Resources decreased from 4.2 Mt (2012) to 4.0 Mt, while Submarginal Resources decreased from 0.2 Mt to 0.1 Mt. A total of 76.6% of the subeconomic nickel resources are in WA. Inferred Resources decreased from 17.8 Mt (2012) to 20.0 Mt in 2014 with WA maintaining its dominance with 89.1% of the total followed by NSW with 5.7%. The ratio of Inferred Resources to EDR in 2012 was 1:1.05. Accessible EDR Currently, all nickel EDR is accessible for mining. At the rate of production in 2014, Accessible Economic Demonstrated Resources (AEDR) of nickel is sufficient for about 78 years. JORC Reserves About 37% of AEDR is made up of JORC Code Reserves.

The remaining 63% of EDR represents resources assessed by Geoscience Australia from the Measured and Indicated categories of industry reported mineral resources as defined under the JORC Code and other classification systems used by companies not listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Total JORC Code Reserves of nickel are adequate for 29 years at current rates of production. Exploration Expenditure on nickel-cobalt exploration for 2014 as reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics was $89.2 million, a decrease of 30.5% on 2013 ($128.3 million). WA attracted most of this expenditure with $85.1 million. Production All of Australia's nickel production in 2014 was from WA and amounted to 246 kilotonnes (kt), compared to 234 kt in 2013, as reported by the Australian Office of the Chief Economist. World Ranking Based on figures published by the United States Geological Survey and the latest Australian resource figures, world economic resources of nickel increased to 81 Mt in 2014 from 74 Mt in 2013.

Australia's share of world economic resources of nickel was 23% in 2014. It remained the largest holder of economic resources followed by New Caledonia (14.8%), Brazil (11.2%), Russia (9.8%) and Cuba (6.8%). In 2013, Indonesia with 440 kt (17.7%), Philippines with 440 kt (17.7%) and Russia with 250 kt (10.1%) were the largest producers, followed by Australia and Canada with 240 kt (9.7%) and 225 kt (9.1%), respectively. Mineral Potential Intrusion-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits Australia's known resources of nickel are contained mainly within komatiitic volcanic-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits in Western Australia, lateritic Ni deposits and, to a lesser extent, within tholeiitic intrusion-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide and hydrothermal deposits. This distribution contrasts with global nickel resources which are dominated by intrusion-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE deposits.

Mineral resources of this type may be very large and extremely valuable, for example the ~$1 trillion Noril'sk (Russia), Voisey's Bay (Canada) and Jinchuan (China) deposits. Although several medium to small tholeiitic intrusion-hosted deposits are known in Australia (e.g. the Nebo-Babel deposit in central Australia and Nova-Bollinger deposit in southeast Western Australia), no giant deposits have so far been discovered in Australia despite the abundance of appropriate mafic and ultramafic host rocks spanning the Archean, Proterozoic and Phanerozoic. A study of the potential for intrusion-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE deposits completed by Geoscience Australia in 2016 has identified many geological provinces with highly favourable prospectivity. This study is the first continent-scale assessment of Australia's Ni potential using a GIS-based prospectivity modelling method. The knowledge-driven (cf. data-driven) approach is based on a conceptual model of the entire ore-forming 'mineral system', incorporating lithospheric- to deposit-scale geological factors that control where and when an ore deposit forms.

A wide range of geophysical, geological, geochronological and geochemical datasets were used as inputs in the spatial modelling. The analysis successfully identifies regions of known intrusion-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE deposits and also highlights a number of 'greenfields' regions with high potential for discovery although currently lacking known deposits. This evaluation suggests that a key impediment to discovery of major new intrusion-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE resources in Australia is not a deficit in geological 'fertility' but the concealment of such deposits beneath extensive regolith and basin cover. The broad areas identified with high potential in this study should assist regional area selection and exploration targeting by the mineral industry, and are recommended for more detailed follow-up investigations to test for the presence of mineralisation and, ultimately, giant deposits. An information package is available online for free download, including a Geoscience Australia Record on the methodology and results, digital maps ( Geodatabase rasters ) of selected input datasets and results, and a computer programming script used for the GIS modelling.

Related Information Nickel - The Canadian Encyclopedia Environment Nickel The major contemporary use for nickel is as an alloying agent. Nickel is present in some 3000 different alloys that are used in more than 250 000 end-use applications. The most popular alloy in which nickel is used is stainless steel (seeIRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY). Nickel Nickel is a naturally occurring element that exists in all soils and ranks 24th in the abundance of metals found in the earth's crust. It is a hard, tough, greyish-white metallic element and is thought to be an essential element for many plants and animals, and, many experts believe, for humans as well. It has many desirable properties, including resistance to corrosion in both acidic and basic environments, high strength over a wide temperature range, and a pleasing appearance. Nickel's earliest use was possibly as an unknown element in an ancient Chinese white metal alloy (paktong) used in tableware, candlesticks and other ornamental and household articles. The Swedish scientist Axel Cronstedt discovered the existence of nickel in 1751. Uses The major contemporary use for nickel is as an alloying agent.

Nickel is present in some 3000 different alloys that are used in more than 250 000 end-use applications. The most popular alloy in which nickel is used is stainless steel (see Iron and Steel Industry ). Stainless steel usually contains between 8-10% nickel and accounts for nearly 70% of all nickel consumed in the world. Nickel-containing alloys are used in a wide variety of applications, including chemical and food-processing equipment, household goods, surgical equipment and aircraft engines, and is becoming the overwhelming choice for environmental equipment. The presence of nickel and copper minerals near the present city of Greater Sudbury , Ont, was known as early as 1856, but it was not until 1883, during construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway , that the significance of the discovery was recognized. By 1890 most ore bodies in the district, comprising the world's largest source of nickel, had been located. In 1993, a large nickel deposit was discovered near Voisey Bay, Labrador .

The Voisey Bay deposit is believed to contain over 100 million t of nickel-, copper- and cobalt -containing ore and is thought by many to be the lowest-cost undeveloped nickel deposit in the world. Production Canada is the world's second-largest producer of nickel (Russia is first). Other major producers are New Caledonia and Australia. Principal markets for Canadian nickel are the US, western Europe and Japan. Canada's domestic market accounts for less than 2% of world consumption. The principal Canadian producers are Inco Ltd and Falconbridge Ltd. Inco has integrated mine, mill, smelter and refinery operations at Sudbury and Thompson , Man. Falconbridge is also an integrated producer with mines, a mill and a smelter at Greater Sudbury, Ont, and a refinery in Norway. A third producer, Sherritt International, operates mines in Cuba and a hydrometallurgical processing facility in Fort Saskatchewan , Alta. All nickel mines in Canada are sulphide-type deposits, most of which are mined underground as opposed to open cast. After the ore is mined, it is sent to the concentrator where it is crushed and the sulphide minerals concentrated by flotation.

The concentrate is smelted to produce nickel matte, which is sent to a refinery where cathodes, anodes, pellets, powders and other products are made.
