Read MoreProduction of finished nickel was strong, for a first quarter, at 53.2 kt. The decline of 6.2% from 4Q19 was mainly due to seasonality and routine scheduled maintenance at PTVI site and at the Matsusaka refinery in 1Q20, along with lower source ore from Canadian and Indonesian operations being processed at the Clydach and Dalian refineries, respectively.

Read MoreExtraction and refining. The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major differences in equipment are the use of higher-temperature refractories and the increased cooling required to accommodate the higher operating temperatures in nickel production.
