Alberta Nickel and the Prairie Industry Rise in Canada
The Sherritt Gordon Mines nickel refinery at Fort Saskatchewan Alberta has operated a decade and spurred regional industry growth. It specializes in high purity powdered metals and complex processes, aiding the mint with Canadian-made nickel blanks and boosting nickel use across construction auto and furnace fields. Canada holds about 75 percent of non Soviet nickel capacity and earns about $400 million annually from this resource with rising demand for nickel alloys.
