USGS estimates Australian nickel mine production fell 54% to 45,000 tonnes in 2025 after mines entered care and maintenance because of low prices, while listed reserves remained 25 million tonnes.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Reserves include material not necessarily economic under current prices; care-and-maintenance can reverse.
What would change the reading
Update on mine restarts, closures or revised output.
