Sherritt International Corporation is a Toronto-based resource company that specializes in the extraction, processing and refining of nickel and cobalt, as well as the exploration and production of oil and natural gas and the generation of power. Operating as a diversified minerals and energy producer, Sherritt employs proprietary hydrometallurgical techniques to transform lateritic ores into high-purity metals, and develops integrated solutions for energy markets. The company’s footprint spans multiple continents, with a focus on sustainable resource management and innovative process technologies.
In the metals segment, Sherritt holds significant interests in joint ventures such as the Moa Nickel operation in Cuba and the Ambatovy project in Madagascar. The Moa facility combines open-pit mining with a hydrometallurgical refinery to produce finished nickel and cobalt products, while Ambatovy employs high-pressure acid leaching to recover metals from lateritic ore. These partnerships leverage long-term agreements with host governments, ensuring stable access to ore reserves and fostering economic development in the regions served.
Beyond minerals, Sherritt has built a notable presence in oil and gas exploration and production, primarily in Canada’s Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, as well as interests in offshore Cuba. The company’s energy division extends to power generation, where it operates thermal and combined-cycle plants that supply electricity to Cuban municipalities under multi-year contracts. Through its Energy & Power business unit, Sherritt aims to deliver reliable, low-cost energy solutions while exploring opportunities in renewable and clean-technology applications.
Founded in 1927 as Sherritt-Gordon Mines, the company has evolved over nearly a century into a global player committed to environmental stewardship and community engagement. Its corporate governance structure is overseen by an experienced board of directors based in Toronto, with an executive leadership team led by President and Chief Executive Officer David E. Pathe. Sherritt continues to pursue strategic growth initiatives across its core businesses, supported by a focus on operational excellence, cost management and long-term value creation for stakeholders.
