THE VOICE OF THE CANADIAN

MINING INDUSTRY SINCE 1935

Niobec

The Niobec mine is located in the municipality of Saint-Honoré in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of the province of Quebec. It is the only underground niobium mine, and one of the three main niobium producers in the world. The mine’s current production accounts for approximately 8 to 10% of the world’s production. Niobec is selling niobium as a ferroalloy called ferroniobium.

Niobec is pursuing the missions of responsibly operating an integrated site for the production of quality ferroniobium, ranging from extraction to marketing, for international customers, while maximizing the economic potential of a world-class deposit to create value for all of our stakeholders.

Thanks to the skills of our employees and our forward-thinking ways of doing business, we aim to ensure the sustainability and growth of our company by safely producing quality ferroniobium at a competitive cost, while following the best environmental standards.

To implement this vision, Niobec relies on its four fundamental values which are security, respect, integrity and excellence.
