Metals Insider reported that Cuban nickel production is normalising after weeks of heavy rain culminating in Tropical Storm Noel.
State media had previously reported that one of Cuba’s nickel processing plants the 12,000 tonnes per year Rene Ramos Latour plant had been closed due to flooding in the wake of Noel. The other two plants on the island Che Guevara and the joint venture Pedro Soto Alba were unaffected.
The most recent reports said that production in the province of Holguin, which has been particularly hard hit by the recent weather patterns, has begun to stabilize. Specifically, the Rene Ramos Latour plant re opened over the weekend after a week’s enforced downtime.
