Putting Madagascar on the Mining Map

Putting Madagascar on the Mining Map

Two thirds of the world’s primary nickel ore is used in stainless steel production. It’s also becoming a key component in the production of electric vehicles, due to its use in heavy duty batteries.

Investing News stated that in 2021 Russia was the third largest producer of nickel. Of course, analysts had their concerns regarding the nickel market due to the sanctions on Russia, and trading of nickel was even halted on the London Metal Exchange in March 2022.

It is imperative then, that other reserves for this metal be found.

Despite a history dating back to the 1960’s, Am batovy started its operations in 2012, accomplish ing its first commercial production in January 2014. Operations at the mine have been designed to produce around 60,000 tonnes of refined nickel and 5,600 tonnes of refined cobalt annually.

Operations at the mine have been designed to produce around 60,000 tonnes of refined nickel and 5,600 tonnes of refined cobalt annually. In 2021, however, the partnership exceeded its yearly projection, making them one of the top five producers of nickel and cobalt in the industry.

“We owe our 2021 achievements to a strong and fully committed team,” said newly appointed CEO, Gus Gomes, “They succeeded in achieving a major turnaround, in very difficult and challenging conditions, including the Covid-19 pandemic, which had led to stopping production between March 2020 and March 2021”.

In addition to its outputs, Ambatovy can proudly say its briquettes contain 99.9% pure metal. On top of its nickel and cobalt supply, the project also produces 120,000 tonnes of ammonium, created as a by-product of the refining process.

AmbatovyContributing to community, country and economy

Central to Ambatovy’s mission is supporting Madagascar’s input into the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

suppliers, Ambatovy appreciates the importance of its role in driving the local economy forward in its development.

In addition, it has focussed on creating environ mental programmes to educate the local com munity on the importance of Madagascar’s rich biodiversity, and its role in the country’s future.

Ambatovy sees its support for Madagascar’s achievement of the SDG’s in three pillars: Busi ness Approach; Community and Environmental Approach; And Supporting Local Growth.

Ensuring a future for the next generation

Ambatovy considers its sustainability programme to be second to none, worldwide

As part of the awareness campaign, Ambatovy gave colleagues and their families an opportunity to learn more about the business’s environmental activities, including its unique breeding program for the golden mantella.

At the heart of Ambatovy’s procurement practices is its “buy locally, hire locally” policy, reflecting the organisation’s commitment to support the growth of the Malagasy industry and small business.

Its continual efforts include having a strong safety culture and demonstrating responsible environmental stewardship, both elements of which Ambatovy strives to meet the highest standards.

By processing its raw ore in-country, Ambatovy contributes to Madagascar’s economic develop ment. By doing so, it increases Madagascar’s for eign earnings through export of nickel and cobalt.

In June 2022 the organisation celebrated Sustainability Month. The theme it followed this year was “Ensuring a future for the next generation”, something Ambatovy considers part of its culture.

Ambatovy has also made significant investment into local, social infrastructure. This includes creating roads and rehabilitating schools and medical centres.

“We are proud of our diverse and international workforce, with over 90% Malagasy employees, and 65% of leadership roles held by Malagasy pro fessionals,” said Mr Gomes.

An exhibition was held at the mine site and plant site, where visitors were able to learn about Ambatovy’s activities in the fields of biodiversity, livelihoods, community engagement, reforestation and environmental monitoring.

“Our biodiversity commitment includes protecting large conservation areas,” said Mr Gomes, “We have an orchidarium and orchid parks with over 283 orchid species, including 28 new species we discovered and some that are critically endangered. The orchids are protected and transferred to our rehabilitation

From providing training and capacity building, to assisting in the development of local suppli ers, Ambatovy appreciates the importance of its role in driving the local economy forward in its development.

Vivo Energy Madagascar’s main activity is the importation, marketing and distribution of Shell fuels and lubricants both in service stations and to its commercial customers. The company is one of the main energy distributors in the country.

WORLD CLASS TECHNOLOGY WORKING FOR MINING SHELL LUBRICANTS TOGETHER ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

UNLOCKING VALUE

Lubrication can unlock significant value, particularly when you consider the costs related to lost production from equipment downtime.

We also believe that selecting the right oils and greases, and adopting effective lubrication manage ment strategies can help to reduce maintenance budgets by up to 30%², primarily through lower maintenance costs, reduced equipment downtime and productivity improvements.

Shell has one of the world’s largest lubricant expert teams (260 lubricant specialists) and a team of distributor partners, all passionate about their industry knowledge, and having strong industry relationships built on trust, who work with mining companies to achieve TCO savings and more equipment uptime.

REDUCING COSTS

Ambatovy was seeking to reduce maintenance, operating cost and downtime without decreasing generator reliability and performance.

The Vivo Energy lubricants technical team recommended using Rimula R4X 15W40 oil for all the generators to increase the oil-drain interval from 250hrs to 500hrs.

Since switching to Shell Rimula R4X, Ambatovy has extended the oil-drain interval of its generator by 100%. As a result, the company has benefited from increased equipment availability, reduced con sumption of lubricant and spare parts, and lower maintenance costs.
