BACKGROUND
The Goro Nickel project is located in New Caledonia. In this region, nickel mining accounts for between 20 and 40% of the global reserves and 9% of the global production.
The construction of a new processing plant was planned so that the Goro plateau mineral deposit could be exploited to develop the nickel market which represents an important part of New Caledonia’s economy.
The port allows large vessels with a draught of more than 10 m to berth. It was first used to ship in the materials necessary for the construction of the nickel processing plant.
