Compañía Guatemalteca de Níquel

Compañía Guatemalteca de Níquel (CGN) is a Guatemalan mining company focused on the extraction and commercialization of nickel ore. It is a subsidiary of Solway Investment Group, which acquired the rights to the FeNix and Montúfar mining projects in the department of Izabal, Guatemala, in September 2011. CGN describes its purpose as serving the needs of the international market through the sustainable use of resources and energy, with a long-term orientation. CGN's operations are located in the Izabal department, with a corporate office in Guatemala City. The company extracts nickel ore and sells a portion of its production to Compañía Procesadora de Níquel de Izabal, S.A. (PRONICO), an industrial complex that was inaugurated in May 2014 after being rehabilitated and rebuilt to high industrial and environmental standards. The original facility was built in the late 1970s and operated by the Canadian company International Nickel Company (INCO) before being abandoned in the 1980s. CGN positions itself around sustainable mining, community development, and compliance with international standards. Its stated mission is to carry out efficient industrial mining management while respecting the human and cultural values of host communities and applying best environmental and socially responsible practices. Its vision is to be a pillar of national development, promoting transformation and sustainable growth in the region through responsible use of mineral resources. The company maintains a public presence through its website, where it publishes news, compliance information, and community-related updates. In November 2024, CGN issued a public warning about a fraudulent scheme misusing its name to promote fake investments, clarifying that it does not offer shares to the public. CGN also reports on environmental protection efforts, including work during temporary suspensions of productive activities, and community initiatives such as a project with PRONICO inaugurated in May 2024.
