Sulfide Ore Deposit
Derived from volcanic or hydrothermal processes
27% of nickel resources come from sulfide deposits
Easier to process, cheaper to mine
Resources are becoming depleted
![Page 13: Nickel Ni By: Nathan Regal. Overview Basic information Properties and characteristics Where it’s found Types of deposits and mining/ extraction process.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce25503460f949ae358/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sulfide Ore Deposits
Nickel is typically found with other ore:
Sulfur and iron in pentlandite
Sulfur in millerite
Arsenic in nickeline

Laterite Ore Deposits
Formed near the surface following extensive weathering
73% of worlds nickel resources come from laterite deposits
More extensive processing
Most future mining will come from laterite deposits
Limonite
Garnierite

Laterite Ore Deposit
Open cut mining
HPAL “High Pressure Acid Leaching”
Ore is leached with sulphuric acid at high pressures and temperatures
Metal rich solution fed to solvent extraction “hydrometallurgy”

Stainless Steel
2/3 of all nickel goes into the making of stainless steel*
Contains 8% nickel
Corrosion and heat resistant

Cost/ Worth
Surge in price in 2006, 2007
Nickel was worth 9 cents
Melting for profit
Now it’s only worth 90% of face value
![Page 20: Nickel Ni By: Nathan Regal. Overview Basic information Properties and characteristics Where it’s found Types of deposits and mining/ extraction process.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce25503460f949ae358/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
U.S. DependencyU.S. only has one active mine in Oregon
Import 43% of nickel
Eagle Mine in Michigan’s upper peninsula
Expected to produce 16,000 metric tons
U.S. military dependency
![Page 21: Nickel Ni By: Nathan Regal. Overview Basic information Properties and characteristics Where it’s found Types of deposits and mining/ extraction process.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce25503460f949ae358/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Political StandpointSustainable Development
Nickel products have a long useful life
Ability to collect and recycle
40% of all nickel used is from recycled material
4% increase in need annually
