We expect China to remain a key driver of the nickel market and our Asia Pacific operations are ideally positioned to meet growing demand from China and the rest of Asia going forward.

Support our aggressive growth and our drive to be the world's leading nickel company.

This company will be a Canadian-based nickel and copper powerhouse on the global scene.

In particular, it recognizes the growing importance of our Asia-Pacific operations as we build the Goro project in New Caledonia, and expand our PT Inco operations in Indonesia.

Where Inco has operations, it has legacies, and we are going to have to face up to them in a proper and responsible way.

Synergies that we get together offer great growth and great employment opportunities in Sudbury and elsewhere around the world.

This new organisation supports our aggressive growth and our drive to be the world's leading nickel company.
