Norilsk Nickel It is obvious the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is going to have massive economic implications. This aggression will only quicken the pace that companies and Governments look to source commodities and goods from friendly countries. The Russian company Norilsk is the world's largest nickel producer and will certainly be a part of sanction discussions. In my opinion, any doubt about low nickel sulphide projects are now over. Out of sheer necessity the technology and willingness to develop these resources is going to happen. Unfortunately a war has to come about to make it possible.
