CEO Jeremy Martin speaks about the acquisition of Vermelho which transforms Horizonte into a multi-asset company bringing together two large, advanced nickel assets located in an established mining region in the Para State northern, Brazil. The Vermelho project also contains a large cobalt resource which Vale planned to process alongside the nickel, which gives Horizonte exposure to an additional commodity stream, in light of the growing interest in both cobalt and nickel for use in the Electric Vehicle battery market.
