\u200bVale said it has safely resumed operations at its Totten Mine in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, and is ramping up production, following the safe extraction of a scoop bucket and shaft repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Production at the mine was halted last September after a scoop bucket became lodged in the main shaft, blocking its use and temporarily trapping 39 workers underground. The miners were safely\u00a0returned<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to the surface via a secondary egress ladder system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vale said that all those involved in last year\u2019s incident have returned to work, along with Totten Mine employees that were deployed to other locations during the disruption. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re committed to delivering the full potential of our North Atlantic operations. The restart of Totten demonstrates our unwavering commitment to achieve a benchmark of safety and reliability levels across all our sites,\u201d said Deshnee Naidoo, executive vice president of Vale\u2019s Base Metals business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The miner noted in a release that the stoppage at Totten Mine \u201cwas already considered in our planning and, therefore, caused no impact to our nickel production guidance of 175kt-190kt for 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
