First Quantum Restarts Ravensthorpe Nickel Mine

Mineweb reported First Quantum (TSX:FM,LSE:FQM) has restarted its Ravensthorpe mine and is expected to produce about 33,000 to 36,000 tonnes of nickel.

As quoted in the market news:

At that rate, Ravensthorpe would be on par with Glencore International Plc’s Murrin Murrin nickel project, Australia’s No.2 producer.

Ravensthorpe resumed commercial operations in late December last year following recommissioning work by Canada-based First Quantum Minerals Ltd, which bought the mine from BHP Billiton Ltd.
