Sudbury is known as the nickel capital of the world. This is not actually true though because Sudbury produces more copper then nickel each year. The element nickel was first discovered in 1751 (Myslik) and discovered in Sudbury in circa 1884 (Winterhalder p.24). Although more copper is being produced, Sudbury still plays a big role in the world’s supply of nickel. During 1910 – 1920, the INCO mines in Sudbury were producing 95% of the world’s nickel (Myslik). Presently, INCO produces one million pounds of nickel and one million pounds of copper a day (Hirvela). The process of mining in Sudbury and other parts of the Boreal Shield is a very special one. First of all, you have to find a place that is rich in minerals and other metals desired. One way precious metals can be found is using a “Bird”. A “Bird” is a device that is attached to a plane.
