Integrated Nickel Operations (Glencore): a nickel operation in Canada
Integrated Nickel Operations (Glencore) is an integrated mine and processing complex producing nickel in Sudbury, Ontario and Raglan, Quebec, Canada, operated by Glencore. The sources report 39.8 kt nickel metal, own sourced for CY2025; the basis is as reported by operator (Glencore); controlled assets at 100%. The sources do not give a whole-operation figure in nickel content that can be compared with world output, so no share is computed.
Who owns and operates it?
| Owner | Interest | As of |
|---|---|---|
| Glencore | 100% | 31 December 2025 |
How much does it produce?
| Period | Output | Basis | Where in the source |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY2025 | 39.8 kt nickel metal, own sourced | as reported by operator (Glencore); controlled assets at 100% | PDF p.5, table "Production from own sources - Nickel assets", INO Nickel metal row; PDF p.12 quarterly table; text PDF p.7 · Glencore plc |
| CY2024 | 42.9 kt nickel metal, own sourced | as reported by operator (Glencore) | PDF p.5 and p.12 · Glencore plc |
Between CY2024 and CY2025 the reported figure fell by 7.2%, in the same unit and on the same basis.
Status: operating, as of 31 December 2025.
- Glencore reports nickel metal from its own mines, refined at the Nikkelverk refinery in Norway and at Sudbury. It is finished metal, not nickel in concentrate, so no content figure is given. Glencore prints a dash for nickel in concentrates in 2025.

Method and limits
- Reported, not estimated. Output is the figure the operator or owner published, in the unit it used. This site does not estimate output where none is published.
- Shares. A share divides output in nickel content by the USGS world or country total for 2025. Where the operator's year is a fiscal year or the unit is a concentrate or a carbonate equivalent, the share is approximate or not given.
- Whole operation or owner's share. The basis column says which. A joint venture's output is never counted twice.
- Partial list. Only operations with a published figure are listed, so the rank is among those on this site, not among every nickel mine. Shares of a country's output mix periods and bases, so treat them as indicative.
