Mining stoppage adds to Eramet’s New Caledonia woes
SLN is part of a struggling New Caledonian nickel industry that the French government is trying to salvage with a proposed rescue package.
Mining production at SLN was 1 million wet metric tons in the first quarter, down 32% from the same period last year, as issues over mining permits weighed on output.
SLN’s mining activities have now been suspended in the northern province of France’s South Pacific territory since mid-April, with an administrative process under way to resume operations, Eramet said in a first-quarter sales statement.
Eramet is continuing to expand production at its Weda Bay nickel mine in Indonesia, operated in partnership with China’s Tsingshan group. First-quarter ore production reached 11.1 million wet metric tons, up 52% year on year, it said.
