ANTANANARIVO, Sept 13 (Reuters) – Madagascar has signed an
operating permit allowing Canada’s Sherritt International Corp
and partners to begin production at the Ambatovy nickel
mine, its government said on Thursday.
“The government has signed the permit. Mining can begin. The
rest depends on their planning,” Mines Minister Daniella Rajo
Randriafeno told Reuters.
The $5.5 billion joint venture project is set to be one of
the largest nickel mines in the world, producing 60,000 tonnes
of refined nickel annually for the next three decades.
