**Nickel (Ni)** is a silvery-white, lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. It is hard, malleable, and ductile, and is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. Known for its corrosion resistance and high melting point, nickel is a critical material in numerous industrial sectors, particularly in the production of stainless steel, batteries, and special alloys.

The Nickel Journey: Mining, Refining & Quality Control

The production of high-quality Nickel involves complex steps from ore extraction to refined metal:

• Mining & Extraction: Nickel is primarily extracted from sulphide and laterite ores through open-pit or underground mining operations.
• Concentration: The extracted ore is crushed and concentrated through flotation or other physical separation methods to increase nickel content.
• Smelting/Leaching: Concentrates undergo high-temperature smelting or hydrometallurgical leaching processes to produce nickel matte or mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP).
• Refining: Further refining processes, such as electrolysis or pressure leaching, are used to achieve high-purity nickel products like cathodes, briquettes, or powder.
• Quality Testing: Rigorous quality control measures, including chemical analysis and physical testing, are applied at each stage to ensure the final product meets international standards for purity, form, and specific industrial requirements for markets like Saint Lucia.
