Name and Location
Vuonos talc concentrator plant project, Talkkitie, Finland.

Client
Mondos Minerals.

Project Description
The project involves the on-site refining of nickel concentrates into a mixed nickel cobalt hydroxide product (MHP) at the existing Vuonos talc concentrator plant.

Using a bioleaching process developed by South African Minerals Research Organisation Mintek, the plant will treat 12 000 t/y of nickel concentrate from Mondo Minerals’ talc operations – Sotkamo and Vuonos – to produce about 1 000 t/y of nickel in MHP. The MHP will be sold to nickel refineries or directly to the stainless steel industry.
