The Kambalda and Widgiemooltha Dome have delivered 1.6Mt of high grade nickel sulphides since the discovery of the Silver Lake mine on January 28, 1966. But Giacovazzi says just $12 million was spent actively exploring for new sources of high grade nickel on Mincor's ground until the discovery of its new Cassini mine in 2015.

by the ore produced from the mine is delivered to the adjacent WMC Kambalda Nickel Concentrator for toll treatment and production of nickel concentrates, which are then sold to WMC Resources on terms set out in that agreement. The agreement expires on 27 February 2010, with WMC Resources having the option to extend for another nine years.
present kambalda capacity is at 30,000 mt/yr contained nickel(cru-4/91), but possibly as high as 35,000 mt/yr. INCREASED OUTPUT IS EXPECTED DUE TO LABOR INCENTIVES AND MORE CONTRACT MINING. KALGOORLIE SMELTER, WHICH PROCESSES KAMBALDA AND LEINSTER ORE, IS NOW OPERATING AT 55,000 MT/YR …

Nickel West asset president Jessica Farrell noted BHP had a long association with Mincor dating back to 2004 when the company first began delivering ore to the Kambalda concentrator. She said the restart of the concentrator would provide an additional 40 jobs in the region, including new to industry and trainee opportunities.

Nickel secondary species from Kambalda mines are described by geologists as rare. It needs to be said mining companyie often simply describe the whole lot as nickel ore, which gets processed regardless of the composition.
