It was a great year for the mining operations at Voisey’s Bay mine site in 2017.
Peter Langlois is the Director of Operations at Vale NL.
He says they are at zero injuries at the mine site, which is great for safety performance.
And that they delivered nickel concentrate to the processing plant in Long Harbour at the Island.
Langlois says normal operations are continuing for 2018, but Voisey’s Bay mine expansion regarding the underground mining is still on hold.
He added the winter shipping started in late January, and the Umiak 1 is at Edwards Cove on its second run now.
The last voyage will be after Easter Break in April.
Langlois adds the mill and concentrator will be closed for a 10 week period due to annual maintenance activities in June.
