Feds pledge $11M for EVs at fully electric Glencore mine
Glencore’s Craig Onaping Depth Mine expansion is an all-electric nickel ore mine being constructed underneath an existing mine in Onaping, around 2.6 kilometres underground.
Glencore’s $1.3-billion Craig Onaping Depth Mine expansion has received an $11-million boost from the federal government toward the purchase of electric vehicles.
“The market could not deliver the equipment that we needed for this mine, so we had to make a pretty serious commitment and take a bit of a risk to push the industry in that direction,” Xavier said. The $11-million boost from the province is a significant help, he said, noting that producers in other countries are able to extract nickel from the surface at a much lower cost.
