We invite you to be part of our evolution.
Our Team
Our Newfoundland and Labrador Operations are an integrated mining, milling, and processing operation. Nickel concentrate from the fly-in, fly-out Voisey's Bay operation is shipped to our state-of-art Long Harbour Processing Plant where it is refined into low-carbon and high-purity nickel rounds, cobalt rounds and copper cathodes. Our operations in Voisey's Bay are located in Northern Labrador, NL and our Long Harbour operation are located at 1 Nickel Road, Long Harbour, NL.
