Nickel Mines & Smelters

Coral Bay

Coral Bay Nickel Corporation (CBNC) started operations in 2005 on Palawan Island in the Philippines. We were the first in the world to succeed in commercial production using High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) technology. We recover nickel and cobalt from low grade nickel oxide ores to produce an intermediate source of electrolytic nickel and battery materials. We are striving to operate in a socially responsible manner by contributing to the surrounding area, operating with the least amount of environmental impact, and restoring the ecosystem by rehabilitation of tailings dams.

Taganito

Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation (THPAL), located in Mindanao Island, the Philippines, is the second HPAL plant for Sumitomo Metal Mining, which commenced operations in October 2013. We have adopted the HPAL, which makes it possible to recover metals, such as nickel and cobalt, from low-grade nickel oxide ores that have not been conventionally smelted, and we are working to ensure a stable supply of raw materials while effectively utilizing underutilized resources. THPAL also started recovery of scandium in 2018, and recovery of chromite in 2021. We have a system in place to monitor the environment on a regular basis and strive to operate in a way that minimizes environmental impact.
