February 2025 We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the US$2.94 billion Voisey’s Bay Mine Expansion Project in northern Labrador, a major milestone that will increase production of nickel in concentrate to 45,000 tonnes per year (45 ktpy) – a critical mineral essential to security of supply, economic independence and the energy transition. The expansion includes the development of two underground mines – Reid Brook and Eastern Deeps – which will deliver nickel concentrate for processing at our Long Harbour Processing Plant, one of the lowest-emission nickel processing plants in the world. In addition to the increased nickel production, the project will add 20ktpy of copper and 2.6ktpy of cobalt. Read the full media release by clicking the link below....Show more
