The Stobie Mine is an open-pit operation that produces copper and nickel, forming a key part of Vale’s Sudbury operations.
"We look forward to continuing to partner with Vale, our Canadian First Nation partners, United Steelworkers L6500 and L2020, and the local community in Sudbury, while continuing to contribute to Canada’s nickel and copper industry to provide metals that are vital to North America’s transition to clean energy.”
Thiess has been awarded a CAD$205 million three-year, full-service mining contract by Vale Base Metals (Vale) for the Stobie open-pit mining project, located in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Stobie Property was last mined in 2017 and is ramping back up in response to the world’s increasing demand for critical minerals needed to transition to zero emissions.
By working with ADLP and ZCLP, Thiess is collaborating with three Canadian First Nations - Atikameksheng Anishnawbek and Wahnapitae First Nation under Aki-eh Dibinwewziwin Limited Partnership (ADLP) and Sagamok Anishnawbek, to present a full mining services proposal to Vale with meaningful First Nation participation.
Thiess’ scope of works includes mining operations, site management, and efficient extraction of valuable copper and nickel resources, asset management, site rehabilitation, and environmental monitoring.
We are also focused on ensuring safety, environmental sustainability, and operational excellence throughout the project.
