Worksite/Project
Voiseys Bay Mine
Located in northern Labrador, Canada, the Voisey's Bay Mine is a significant source of nickel, copper, and cobalt. Discovered in 1993, the mine has been operational since 2005, initially focusing on open-pit mining. In recent years, the operation has transitioned to underground mining to access deeper ore deposits, thereby extending the mine's life and production capacity. In August 2023, Vale, the company operating the mine, announced the commencement of underground production, marking a new phase in the mine's development. The Voisey's Bay Mine plays a crucial role in supplying nickel for the global battery market, particularly for electric vehicles, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions.
