and other countries. The bulk of the world's known nickel reserves are concentrated in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, New Caledonia, and Russia. The United States relies on imports and recycling for its supplies of nickel, and this situation is unlikely to change significantly for at least the next 25 years. The
Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) are recovered through underground and open pit mining from poly-metallic sulphide ores containing PGMs, Nickel, Copper and other metals: • Platinum (Pt), Palladium (Pd), Rhodium (Rh) and Ruthenium (Ru) are the most prevalent of the six PGMs, with Iridium (Ir), and Osmium (Os) found in much smaller quantities
Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operations (Sudbury INO) consist of two underground mines (Nickel Rim South Mine and Fraser Mine), Strathcona Mill and the Sudbury Smelter. All these operations are hard rock mines, with excellent rockmass quality. The depth of mining is sufficient to develop pervasive stress fracturing around most openings.

World population of nickel in mines sat at 2.7 million metric tons in 2019. The major countries in nickel mining include Indonesia, Philippines, Russia, and New Caledonia. Indonesia has the largest reserves of nickel, followed by Australia and Brazil. Nickel reserves have the least remaining life years, but nickel is recyclable.
An open-pit mine in Brazil extracts nickel ore; nearby contaminating elements, however, often complicate their material blending accuracy and dilute their ore output. After implementing the DISPATCH® Fleet Management System (FMS) and ProVision® High-Precision Machine Guidance system, the mine reduced their ore dilution by 2.2% by optimizing ...
