The Voisey’s Bay Nickel Project boasts one of the world’s richest accessible nickel discoveries. Located on the coast of Labrador in North-eastern Canada, it is owned by Vale Inco, the western world’s largest nickel company. As is the case with many Canadian Mining Projects, H.J. O’Connell, a division of Bird, was a major player in the development.
