Indonesia first imposed an export ban on nickel ore in January 2014. Following a budget deficit in 2016, a steep decline in Indonesian nickel production, and the construction of nine new nickel smelters (there were only two smelters in operation before), the export ban was relaxed in early 2017 with plans to fully reimpose it in 2022.

Enonkoski ore ground in a steel mill Soated easily without a collector at low pH values of 3}5 (Figure 1). The Soatability of these three minerals was improved when the same ore was ground in aceramic mill (Figure 2).Thissuggeststhatcollector-less Sotation in acidic pH can be adopted as a low-cost pre-concentration phase to obtain a bulk sulRde
Cobalt, copper, nickel and selenium enter Clarabelle Mill from the mined ore. It is the goal of the milling, smelting and refining process to remove the unwanted material from the ore to produce a valuable base metal product, in the case of Vale's Sudbury Operations, primarily nickel, copper, cobalt and precious metals.
(Data in metric tons of nickel content unless otherwise noted) Domestic Production and Use: In 2019, the underground Eagle Mine in Michigan produced approximately 14,000 tons of nickel in concentrate, which was exported to smelters in Canada and overseas. In October, the mine processed the first ore from the newly developed Eagle East extension.
This was carried out after the completion of the Nickel Palletizing Plant in Poro on the east coast of New Caledonia. An addition to the Nickel Smelter Project was the Ore unloading facilities at the Noumea Port. This …

The process plant is designed to treat 55 million tonnes per annum of copper ore from Sentinel mine, with a separate 4 million tonnes per annum circuit designed to process nickel ore feed from the Enterprise project or additional copper ore feed from Sentinel. Technical Report. Trident's most recent NI 43-101 Technical Report.
Faltunbridge Nickel Mines Ltd0 reported; "The ore dressing plant, mill and smelter were extended during the year to take care of a 25 per cent increase in producon0 In connection with the new shaft there was built a new ore dressing piant containing some new features for preparing and grading
The smelter has been scrapped now. There remains a huge hole in the top of Nickel Mountain where the ore was extracted and a very large stack of both ore reject and slag on the old smelter site. A new company has taken over and is extracting mostly silica from the old tailings.

Chinese companies are ramping up nickel investment in Indonesia to secure ore supply following the Southeast Asian country's 2020 ore export ban. But that isn't the only driver. As China grapples with ongoing power supply issues, a number of provinces have implemented measures to limit energy-intensive smelter production levels.
Clarabelle Mill also produces a pyrrhottite/rock tailings stream which is piped to the Central Tailings Area. Smelter Process Description. At the Copper Cliff Smelter, the nickel-copper bulk concentrate from the mill is dried and processed through the Flash Furnaces and converters. This produces a bulk converter matte, sulphur dioxide and slag.
Ore from this source was shipped to the Port of Coos Bay and then hauled to Glenbrook for smelting. The smelter was shipping about $1 million in Ferro-nickel every four days in covered hopper cars moved by one of the smelter's locomotives to the SP interchange. Due to low ore grade the first of several economic shut downs occurred in 1981.
