With the shine coming back on nickel – what will it mean for Ontario’s local and wider economies.

It’s boom or bust in the nickel business. From cycles, to slumps to super-cycles and even the most recent decade-long crash, it appears the time for nickel to rebound is near.

The last big boom at the turn of the 21st Century saw nickel soar above 20 dollars per pound. It led to multi-billion dollar takeovers of smaller mining companies by industry giants and saw local economies flourish as bonuses skyrocketed, overtime was uncapped and investments in service, supply, innovation and industry support were elevated almost exponentially.

Today, with analysts projecting the price of nickel to at least double over the next four years, what can local and provincial economies expect? After a 10-year slump can we expect the same rush to invest and spend? Will companies be more cautious and what will it mean for investors, the markets and businesses.

There are a lot of questions and speculation out there about just how big of a splash there will be if nickel finally makes its comeback. And that’s where the experts from Freelandt Caldwell Reilly LLP can help.
