Report summary
First Quantum Minerals (FQM) purchased the Ravensthorpe Nickel Operation (RNO) in November 2009 from former owners, BHP Billiton. Following significant modifications to the circuit, FQM started operating in October 2011 and reached ‘commercial production' on December 28. The operation was placed on care and maintenance in 2017. We have assumed a probable restart in 2020 with an improvement in nickel prices.
