Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems / Type of Nickel Plant
English term or phrase: FULL DEPOSIT NICKEL
I am translating a mining safety newsletter from British English into Spanish and there is a section that explains the commission of a new nickel plant. I include the relevant sentences below:

"USING OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE WORLD’S FIRST *** FULL DEPOSIT NICKEL *** PLANT"

"While this technology is extensively used in harvesting copper, this was the first time that it had been applied to *** full deposit nickel **** (which is a much harder material) and therefore created its own unique challenges.

I couldn't find any information about "full deposit nickel" in the Internet and in my Routledge Technical Dictionary.

Thank you in advance for your help.

depósito completo de nickel
Explanation:
see comment and link.

I may be called that way because the metal in the mineral is less concentrated, or not at all, before the electrolitic deposition process.

But I would ask for what the process really is, to make sure what they mean and how to translate it better.

Reference information:
I think it may refer to the method used to estract and purify the nickel, problably by an electrolitic deposit process like the one in the link

Note to reference poster
Asker: Dear Carlos: according to the explanation contained in the link you offer could "depósitos de níquel puro" be a correct translation?
