WELCOME

Established near Koné, the county town of New Caledonia's North Province, Koniambo Nickel SAS is presently building a world-class industrial complex which will contribute to making New Caledonia one of the world's largest nickel producers once production reaches full capacity. Thanks to its yet unexploited nickel deposit that is deemed to be one of the most important and of the best quality worldwide, the Company will maintain a long-term, low-cost operation that will comply with sustainable development principles.

Once construction work is finished, Koniambo Nickel will operate a mine, a pyrometallurgical nickel foundry, a power-generating station and other complementary infrastructures, notably a privately-owned deep-water port, an 11-kilometre land-based conveyor and a seawater desalination plant. The beginning of ore treatment is planned for the second quarter of 2012 with a gradual increase in power to reach an annual production of 60,000 tonnes of nickel content in 2014.
