Plans to close smelting and refining operations in Thompson in 2018 isn’t new information

A presentation by Vale’s Director of Manitoba Mining and Milling made headlines, after an article was written about the mine’s impending closure in Thompson.

 

Mark Scott presented an operations update at the Manitoba Mining and Milling conference last week. He told delegates the nickel smelting and refining operations in Thompson would close in 2018.  

 

Despite that this is public knowledge a news agency wrote that the mine has “announced” their closure, causing other news agencies to follow suit.  

 

Vale Manager of Corporate Affairs and Organizational Development Ryan Land says the closure of the smelter and refinery was announced back in 2010. He says plans to close the refinery by the end of 2018 is not a new decision, nor does it reflect any changes to existing plans.
