Glencore Nickel, Raglan Mine

Raglan Mine is part of Glencore, one of the world's largest diversified natural resource companies. It operates on the northern edge of Quebec, in Nunavik. Its property extends to almost 70 kilometers from east to west, and consists of a series of high-grade deposits, mainly nickel and copper. 

Raglan Mine was the first mining project in Canada to sign an Impact and Benefits Agreement (IBA) with an indigenous group, the Raglan Agreement. Raglan Mine employs over 1,400 people, 17% of whom come from local Inuit communities. Raglan Mine plays an active role in the economy of Nunavik and Quebec, contributing $457 million to Quebec's GDP, including $175 million from Inuit suppliers. Located far from any city, its network of suppliers extends to the four corners of Quebec, with 65% of its suppliers of goods and services located in the province.
