Title
Nickel processing issues force Vale to boost exports.
Abstract
The article reports on the delay to the full startup of miner Vale's nickel processing facility in Newfoundland which has been scheduled for completion in 2013, has forced the company to negotiate a new deal to export unprocessed metal. Topics covered include difficulties in engineering and securing workers as the reasons behind the plant not reaching full production, and an unconventional hydromet process being implemented to turn nickel concentrate directly to metal products.
