Why Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada’s easternmost province, is known for its rugged coastline, rich cultural heritage, and significant natural resources. The province’s economy is bolstered by a robust mining sector, where our operations play a crucial role. At Long Harbour, we operate a state-of-the-art processing plant, which refines nickel concentrate from the Voisey’s Bay mine into finished nickel, copper, and cobalt products. This plant is a cornerstone of our commitment to value-added processing in Canada. Meanwhile, the Voisey’s Bay mine, located in Labrador, is one of the world’s most substantial nickel deposits. It provides high-quality nickel, copper, and cobalt, essential for the 21st century economy.

Next, priority will be given to Newfoundland and Labrador residents. We also welcome those who are willing to relocate back home and those looking to make NL their permanent home.
