- Drilling Equipment: For creating access to the ore deposits.
- Excavators: To dig and move dirt and ore.
- Loaders: For transporting ore from the mining area to loading points.
- Haul Trucks: To transport the ore to the processing plant.
- Crushers: To break down the ore into smaller pieces.
- Grinding Mills: For further reducing the size of the ore.
- Screening Equipment: To separate materials based on size.
- Flotation Cells: For separating nickel from the ore during processing.
- Smelting and Refining Equipment: To extract and purify the nickel.
Each mining operation may use a customized combination of these tools depending on the geology of the ore deposit and the scale of the operation.
