About Atlantic Nickel

Controlled by the Appian Capital Brazil group and the only producer of sulfide nickel in the country, Atlantic Nickel completed, on October 15, 2020, one year of operation in Itagibá, Bahia state, where it has been engaged in extracting the ore essential for manufacturing electric vehicle batteries. More than 1,700 direct jobs have been created by the business and R$ 151 million injected in purchases and contracts with Bahia suppliers from 2018 to 2020.

The company’s projection is to double its production capacity, with the start of underground mining operations at the Santa Rita Mine, expected in 2028, which will extend the mine’s useful life from eight to 34 years (8 years of open-pit mining + 26 years of underground mining). According to the Preliminary Economic Assessment, about 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, in the same geological belt where the Santa Rita Mine operates. The proximity of this new area to the existing infrastructure, combined with the feasibility of logistical integration, points to the success of the expansion study.

About Atlantic Nickel

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

In Brazil, a condominium threatens to fine a resident who puts a Brazilian flag on the balcony during the World Cup and election year.

Hyundai creates smart film that reduces heat inside the car by up to 10°C and promises to transform comfort on extreme days

Fishermen accidentally catch a 2.5-meter goblin shark at a depth of 900 meters in Gran Canaria and record one of the rarest creatures of the deep ocean still alive.

Scientists create “living” materials that crawl, walk, and dig on their own by transforming internal tension into movement, mimicking biological tissues without having real cells.

NR-1 obliges companies to pay attention to mental health at work and highlights the impact of abusive targets, exhausting work hours, and harassment on leaves due to psychological disorders.

A viaduct over 40 years old in a city in Minas Gerais was closed due to the risk of collapse, blocked routes for months, exposed maintenance failures, and now requires a R$ 1.7 million project to prevent a collapse in the urban heart for decades.

Viaduct used every day by cars, buses, and pedestrians in the center of a São Paulo city becomes a legal case after a report indicates “imminent danger,” cracks, corrosion, and high lethality risk.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

How much does it cost to make a radier? A shallow foundation can speed up the construction and reduce stages, but poorly compacted soil, excess load, and design errors can turn the concrete slab into cracks, structural settlements, and much higher expenses later on.

Goodbye steel rebar? Scientists create 3D-printed plastic reinforcement that “bites” into concrete, prevents corrosion, and could change beams, slabs, and bridges in civil construction.
