It is owned by Poseidon Nickel, who aims to restart production at Black Swan.

[1] The development of the Silver Swan Mine cost A$46 million and first ore to Outokumpu's smelter in Finland was delivered in May 1997.

[3] Additionally, the existing process plant at Black Swan was upgraded at a cost of A$13 million with the aim of increasing annual nickel production to 18,000 tonnes.

[1] Norilsk acquired the mine through a takeover of Lionore,[5] but soon after, in late 2008 and early 2009, low nickel prices forced a number of mines in Western Australia to close, including Black Swan.

[6] During its eleven year operation, the mine produced 41,000 tonnes of nickel from the Black Swan open pit and 138,000 tonnes of nickel from the Silver Swan underground operation.
