Emmanuel Macron says he will delay reforms that sparked days of deadly riots in the faraway French territory of New Caledonia.
The French President flew nearly 17,000 kilometers from Paris to the archipelago, which lies east of Australia. At least six people have died in more than a week of violence over plans that would allow more French residents of New Caledonia to vote in local elections. President Macron said he would take stock of the situation within a month.

5.8% for production and yeah, you can't round up that to 10%. Looks like even less of a percent using reserves.

@Masterrunescapeer 23 күн бұрын

2022 figures are 190k / 3.3m = 5.8% of production that year, and less than 7% of reserves. Reserve numbers are rounded, so % of reserves is actually lower, this is benefit of doubt. 2023 figures are 230k / 3.6m = 6.4% of production, and 7.1m reserves which is about 5.4% of reserves. Also note that Nickel production doesn't have a very high value, it's basically being dumped on the market by Indonesia via Chinese direct investments, so it's not really of "strategic" importance to France (there are just too many alternatives). Those reserves are also what is feasible to extract, so e.g. US figures are influenced by higher wages.

@shakur960 20 күн бұрын

You have no idea what you're talking about. NC nickel is barely profitable and the industry is propped up by the french taxpayer for the benefit of the NC people. If France leaves, all the NC nickel companies will leave and chinese ones will take over. NC will also go bankrupt in the process.
