An updated estimate for the mine, which currently churns out 620,000 tonnes of nickel in concentrate each year, indicates an enormous jump in reserves.
Hitura contains a total ore reserve of 2.35 million tonnes an increase of 156% over the previous estimate in 2006 grading 0.62% nickel and 0.22% copper.
Measured and indicated resources contain 1.37 million tonnes grading 0.64% nickel and 0.22% copper.
In addition the mine has an inferred resource of 430,000 tonnes grading 0.70% nickel and 0.29% copper.
