European investment group, NIU Invest, led by Austrian mogul, Cevdet Caner, says it will invest $200 million (P2.8bn) over a 10-year period to bring Phoenix Mine back to profitable operations, creating more than 3,000 direct and indirect jobs.

NIU snapped up Phoenix last year for $15 million (P205 million), after an extended period of the liquidators and government looking for takeover partners for the operation. Phoenix’s sister operation, Selkirk, was purchased by Premium Nickel Resources Limited for P67 million two years ago.

Phoenix was put on care and maintenance in 2003, whilst Tati Nickel — which owned and operated the two mines — has been in liquidated since 2016.
