$2B hydromet plant to be built in Long Harbour

ale Inco will build a cutting-edge plant at Long Harbour in southern Newfoundland to process nickel extracted from Labrador's gigantic Voisey's Bay mine, the provincial government said Wednesday.
In a statement, the government said Inco planned to use water-based hydromet technology at the plant.
Inco had tested the hydromet technology, which had never been used on the type of ore present at Voisey's Bay, at a demonstration plant that closed earlier in 2008.
Inco had committed to building a traditional smelter if it found the hydromet technology would not work.
"This is tremendous news for Long Harbour and surrounding communities, and we look forward to ground being broken in 2009 and the well-paying jobs it will bring to the area over the next two decades," Natural Resources Minister Kathy Dunderdale said in a statement.
