Lundin Mining is developing a new nickel deposit that could extend the life of its Eagle nickel and copper mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that ramped up to full production in 2015 and is expected to see output gradually decline from this year on, according to an official with the Canadian company.

"We're aggressively drilling Eagle East, a new deposit, and that's looking quite promising," the official, who asked not to be identified, said Monday.
