About Atlantic Nickel

The only producer of sulfide nickel in the country, Atlantic Nickel has been operating since October 2019 in the extraction of the ore, which is essential for the manufacture of batteries for electric vehicles. Over 2,500 direct jobs have been created by the business, and R$ 151 million were injected into purchases and contracts with suppliers in Bahia from 2018 to 2020.

The company’s projection is to double its production capacity, with the start of underground operations at the Santa Rita Mine, scheduled for 2028, which will extend the mine’s lifespan from 8 to 34 years (7 years of open-pit mining + 27 years of underground mining). According to the Preliminary Economic Assessment, approximately US$ 355 million is expected to be invested in the first five years of this new phase.

Moreover, Atlantic Nickel is already celebrating the recent discovery of a new deposit with significant nickel resource potential just 26 km away, and in the same geological belt as the Santa Rita Mine.
