New Caledonia: the nickel island

On a trip in Malaysia last winter break I met a Chinese-Canadian guy named Tom who is a mining engineer. He said he has worked in many countries including China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and New Caledonia. He said "New Caledonia doesn't have nickel, it is nickel." Sure enough, New Caledonia contains 10% of the world's nickel supply.
