淡水河谷预计到2030年镍产量将增长50%以上
Vale projects over 50% growth in nickel output by 2030
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）报道，巴西矿业巨头淡水河谷公司预测，其镍部门今年的产量将达到16万吨，预计2025年将增加5,000吨。到2030年，该公司的目标是将镍产量提高到21万至25万吨。
Brazilian mining giant Vale forecasts that its nickel division will produce 160,000 tonnes this year, with an increase of 5,000 t expected in 2025. By 2030, the company aims to boost nickel output to 210,000-250,000 t, Kallanish reports.
产量的增加将得益于主要运营地点的运营改善。这包括加拿大沃伊斯湾矿山扩建项目（Voisey's Bay Mine Expansion，VBME）的竣工和试运行。从露天开采到地下开采的转变包括Reid Brook和Eastern Deeps矿山，这两个矿山将向淡水河谷的Long Harbour精炼厂供应矿石。该精炼厂是世界上排放最低的镍加工厂之一。
The production increase will result from operational improvements at its main operational sites. This includes the completion and commissioning of the Voisey’s Bay Mine Expansion (VBME) project in Canada. This transition from open-pit to underground mining includes the Reid Brook and Eastern Deeps mines, which will supply ore to Vale’s Long Harbour refinery. The refinery is noted as one of the world’s lowest-emission nickel processing plants.
VBME矿的镍生产能力约为4.5万吨/年，副产品包括2万吨/年的铜和2,600吨/年的钴。这些项目计划于2026年下半年全面投产。
The VBME sites have a production capacity of approximately 45,000 t/y of nickel, along with by-products including 20,000 t/y of copper and 2,600 t/y of cobalt. The full ramp-up of these operations is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
淡水河谷强调，此次扩建是提高其加拿大业务竞争力的关键一步。这将降低镍矿的单位成本，目标是从目前的1.59万美元/吨降低到2030年的1.25-1.4万美元/吨。
Vale emphasises that this expansion is a pivotal step in enhancing the competitiveness of its Canadian operations. It is set to reduce unit costs in the nickel segment, from $15,900/t currently to a targeted $12,500–$14,000/t by 2030.
