There's been about 200 redundancies in Brasil, from what I've heard.
Not sure why anything else would be brewing. It's a high cost, low grade ore body. Granted there's a lot of nickel in the ground and it's a sulphide, but this mob is also loaded with debt!
Unless MBN have been mining and/or processing the stuff completely wrong and some other party has some ideas on how to do it better?!
