TORONTO, 3 de diciembre de 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vale Base Metals ha completado la construcción y puesta en marcha de su Proyecto de Expansión de la Mina Voisey's Bay de 2.940 millones de dólares en el norte de Labrador, un hito importante que aumentará la producción de níquel en concentrado a 45.000 toneladas por año (45 ktpy), un mineral crítico esencial para la seguridad del suministro, la independencia económica y la transición energética.

El proyecto de expansión transformó a Voisey's Bay de minería a cielo abierto a minería subterránea. El proyecto implicó el desarrollo de dos minas subterráneas (Reid Brook y Eastern Deeps) que entregarán concentrado para su procesamiento en la planta de procesamiento de Long Harbour de la empresa, una de las plantas de procesamiento de níquel con menores emisiones del mundo.

Además del aumento de la producción de níquel, el proyecto sumará 20 ktpy de cobre y 2,6 ktpy de cobalto. Se espera que el proyecto alcance su máximo potencial en la segunda mitad de 2026.

Estos minerales críticos, entregados desde una jurisdicción estable con una larga historia de apoyo a la minería, se envían a todo el mundo para usos industriales que incluyen fabricación de defensa, vehículos eléctricos a batería e infraestructura de energía limpia. Voisey's Bay es un importante proveedor de níquel a Estados Unidos.

La finalización del proyecto también representa un hito crucial para mejorar la competitividad de las operaciones canadienses de la empresa y contribuirá a reducir los costes unitarios en el segmento de negocios del níquel.

"La finalización exitosa de la expansión de Voisey's Bay demuestra nuestro compromiso de liberar el valor de nuestra dotación y entregar níquel producido de manera responsable a los mercados globales", dijo Shaun Usmar, consejero delegado de Vale Base Metals, la filial de minerales críticos de Vale SA (NYSE: Vale).

"Garantizar los beneficios económicos locales de Voisey's Bay sigue siendo una prioridad clave para la empresa, y estamos orgullosos de la relación de colaboración que tenemos con los socios indígenas, Innu Nation & Nunatsiavut Government, en cuyas tierras tradicionales se encuentra el complejo de Voisey's Bay".

Con la finalización de la ampliación, el número de empleados directos en Voisey's Bay asciende ahora a 1.100, frente a los 600 que había antes de la ampliación. En el punto álgido del proyecto de ampliación, 3.400 empleados directos e indirectos trabajaban en Voisey's Bay.

Este proyecto subraya el compromiso de Vale Base Metals de servir como catalizador para el crecimiento social y económico, incluyendo el empleo local, las adquisiciones, el desarrollo de capacidades, la colaboración con los indígenas y los beneficios compartidos para nuestros accionistas.

"Quiero reconocer y agradecer a los muchos equipos que ayudaron a llevar este complejo proyecto a buen puerto de manera segura y exitosa", dijo Usmar. "Estoy orgulloso de que Voisey's Bay seguirá generando valor compartido para la empresa y para la gente de Terranova y Labrador durante muchos años más".

Voisey's Bay entró en producción en 2005 y, con la finalización del proyecto de expansión, seguirá siendo un motor importante del crecimiento económico en Terranova y Labrador y proporcionará níquel de alta pureza y bajo contenido de carbono durante muchos años más.

Acerca de Vale Base Metals
