[1] During the Second World War, the Frood Mine alone accounted for a full 40 per cent of all the nickel used in Allied artillery production.

[2] In recognition of that contribution, Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, and her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, visited Frood Mine in 1959.

[3] The Ontario Ministry of Labour fined Vale Limited $1,050,000 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act after Vale pleaded guilty to three counts related to mine safety.
