LX International Corp., the trading unit of South Korea’s LX Group, said on Tuesday it is slated to acquire a 60% stake in Indonesian miner PT Adhi Kartiko Pratama (AKP) at 132.9 billion won (USD 101.3 million) to produce nickel, a core material for electric batteries.PT AKP’s mines on Sulawesi Island, Indonesia, have proven mineable nickel estimated at about 36 million tons, which can be used for 7 million electric vehicles, LX International said in a press release on Nov. 7.“PT AKP’s mines have great infrastructure such as a haul road, a pit and a port. The location is also great – the mines are near the nickel industrial complex on the island,” an LX International official said.The trading company is planning to complete the transaction by Feb. 29, 2024, and raise the Indonesian firm’s annual nickel production capacity from its current 1.5 million tons to 3.7 million tons by 2028.LX International will continue to secure nickel and shift its major natural resource business from coal to EV battery minerals, an official from the trading firm said.In the third quarter, LX International’s operating profit reached KRW 63.6 billion on a consolidated basis, a 76.7% drop from a year earlier, as reported in its preliminary report on Tuesday.Meanwhile, LX International’s third-quarter operating profit reached 63.6 billion won on a consolidated basis, dropping 76.7% from a year earlier, according to its preliminary report on Tuesday.Its third-quarter revenue fell 22.3% on-year to 3.66 trillion won, while the quarterly net profit plunged 80.2% from a year earlier to 49 billion won.“The natural resource market boomed and logistics freight fares significantly rose last year. As they are on a downtrend this year amid the global economic slowdown, the base effect will occur in the third-quarter earnings,” an LX International official said.The company forecasts fourth-quarter results to show improvement, with more energy use in the winter season and recovery of air freight demand.LX International is investing the profits from its traditional businesses, such as coal and palm oil supplies, in future growth drivers such as EV battery materials, the company added.Image source: Getty ImagesSource: www.kedglobal.com/LX International to buy Indonesia's PT AKP for nickel mining

714 Views
The discussion regarding the divestment and contract extension of PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (INCO) has now reached the Ministry of State Owned Company (BUMN) led by Erick Thohir. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) claims to have completed the evaluation, which was their responsibility.Arifin Tasrif, the Minister of ESDM, emphasized that discussions on divestment and contract extensions have been completed on their end. The next steps involve finalizing the process with the Ministry of BUMN, which will execute the divestment through Mineral Industry Indonesia (MIND ID)."It's just a finalization with the Ministry of BUMN. If it's from the Ministry of ESDM, it's not an issue anymore. As for the extension regarding their land, it's our concern, but the business matters are there (Ministry of BUMN)," said Arifin during an interview at the Ministry of ESDM on Thursday (26/10).Earlier, Arifin revealed that Vale agreed to release 14% of its shares, an increase from the initial 11%."The last percentage is 11 + 3. So, with this 14%, MIND ID composition will be increase" he said.Divestment is a crucial requirement for Vale, currently in the process of extending its contract, which is set to expire in 2025. The obligation to divest 51% of shares is carried out progressively by the central government, local governments, SOEs, regional SOEs, or national private business entities. If there are no interested parties, the divestment offer is conducted through the Indonesia Stock Exchange to manage the extension of Vale's Contract of Work after December 29, 2025. This aligns with Article 147 of Government Regulation No. 96 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Mineral Mining Business Activities, where PT Vale is required to divest an additional 11% of its shares.The valuation of the divestment share price is calculated based on a fair market value without taking into account mineral reserves, except those that can be mined during the contract extension period of the Special Mining Business License (IUPK).However, it has been revealed that MIND ID also desires control over Vale's shares, as they believe that the 14% shares do not include control rights.Image source: Dunia EnergiSource: www.dunia energi.com/Keputusan Final Divestasi Vale Indonesia Ada Di Tangan Erick Thohir
