A History In Havelock
Canadian Nepheline has been mined in the Havelock area for generations. Nepheline ore was discovered here in the 1890’s, and mining has taken place here for 80 years, with the Nephton mine beginning in 1935 and Blue Mountain in 1955. Covia purchased the site in 1989 and has been a member of the community ever since. We’re proud to be involved in fundraising and donations for local hospitals and amateur sports.
We’re also proud to be considered a cornerstone of business, creating an environmentally conscious, sustainable product that has everyday uses the world over. For generations, we’ve been a part of Havelock’s past, and we look forward to being one of the keys to its future as we grow and evolve our processes and our way of working.
