Bindura Nickel Corporation Limited

Bindura Nickel Corporation (BNC) commenced production at the Trojan Nickel Mine, located near the town of Bindura, Zimbabwe, in July 1968. Subsequently, BNC developed three other nickel-copper mines in Zimbabwe over the following seven years. Of these, only Trojan and Shangani mines are still in operation. The Smelter was commissioned in 1968, using two blast furnaces treating concentrates from Trojan and Madziwa mines. The blast furnaces were decommissioned in 1976, with the commissioning of the present electric furnace [1]
