Yabulu - Closed nickel operation

The Palmer Nickel and Cobalt Refinery has been operating since 1974. In 2013 the plant's owner, Clive Palmer announced plans to spend A$1bn on upgrading the operation, although there has been no indication as to how this will be spent. Production ceased from the Refinery in June 2016 and the company has since been placed into liquidation.
