Australia's nickel producers reel from supply glut

A sharp slide in nickel prices over the past year, driven by a jump in Indonesian supply, has hit Australian nickel producers, leading to mine closures, production cuts and writedowns in recent months.

Following are moves by nickel producers and developers to cope with the slump:

Canada's First Quantum Minerals on Monday said it will cut jobs and production at its Ravensthorpe mine in Australia due to a "significant" downturn in prices that it expects to last three years.

Panoramic Resources went into voluntary administration in December. On January 8, its administrators said operations at its Savannah nickel project would be suspended as the "prospect of achieving a near-term turnaround of operations and finances is low". The project remains up for sale.

Battery materials producer IGO flagged in December it expects to book a further impairment to its Cosmos nickel project when it reports on January 31, adding to an almost A$1-billion writedown in the 2023 financial year.

The world's biggest listed miner BHP is assessing options for a major smelter renewal and a mine expansion in Australia while it builds the West Musgrave mine it acquired with its $6.4-billion takeover of Oz Minerals.
