Ravensthorpe Nickel Operation - Similar companies

Ravensthorpe Nickel Operation is a world-class laterite nickel mining and processing operation located in southern Western Au ... stralia. First Quantum Minerals acquired 100% of Ravensthorpe - then a decommissioned mine - in 2010. We made significant improvements to the process and facilities, and shipped our first concentrate exports in November 2011. We put the mine on care and maintenance in 2017 due to persistently low nickel prices. In early 2020, the mine was restarted creating over 350 new jobs. We are currently expanding our mining operation with the opening of our new nickel deposit, known as Shoemaker-Levy, extending our mine life by at least 20 years. Our annual production is targeted at around 30,000 tonnes of nickel per annum, with Shoemaker-Levy set to open in late-2021. read more
