The Sihayo project now contains a total resource of 24.8 million tonnes grading two grams per tonne gold for 1.57 million ounces, a 10% increase in the gold endowment since last year's resource estimate. That includes 677,000oz grading 4.7gpt in higher grade ore, based on a 3gpt cut-off, a 22% increase over the 2022 resource, while the deeper drilling has delivered a 67% boost in the yellow metal below the proposed pit at 304,000oz, further enhancing underground mining potential at the southern end of the pit limits.The additional below-pit resource is primary sulphide-refractory gold mineralisation.Executive chair Colin Moorhead said the starter project remains sensitive to the addition of incremental ounces, and increasingly supported the potential for an underground operation as part of its early development plans.Sihayo's modelling suggests the high-grade gold mineralisation extends for at least 200m below the base of the planned starter pit, is open to the southeast, and potentially to the northwest. With additional drilling, it is confident of adding ounces. With the updated resource in hand, Sihayo will now undertake an underground concept study.Earlier this year it released an economic study for the starter project examining the use of caustic leaching, which it identified as being a way of unlocking the deeper, high-grade mineralisation, improving overall recoveries substantially over the life of the project's earlier plan to use a CIL plant. The project would increase recoveries from 551,000oz to 653,000oz at a slightly higher all-in sustaining cost of US$1007/oz, allowing for post-tax cashflow of $277 million over the 6.5-year life of the starter project.Capital costs were estimated at $221 million, which would take about 3.75 years to pay back with a 20% internal rate of return.The company ended the March quarter with just A$1.1 million cash, and debts to its major shareholder Singapore-based Provident Minerals worth US$5.5 million. In May, underwrote a A$12 million entitlement offer at 0.2c per share, mainly to repay its loans.Provident now owns 31.1% of Sihayo, alongside new substantial holder Santoso Kartono at 14.9%.Provident allies Eastern Field Developments (6.2%) and Saratoga Investama (5.6%) are also significant holders.Sihayo's shares have traded at 0.1-0.3c over the past year and at 0.2c, the company was valued at $24.4 million.Image source: SihayoSource: https://www.miningnews.net/resource-definition/news/1455887/sihayo-increases-indonesian-gold-endowment

PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (INCO) has the opportunity to acquire 30% stake in a nickel factory with high pressure acid leach (HPAL) technology in the Pomalaa Block, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi owned by PT Kolacka Nikel Indonesia (KNI), five years after KNI complete construction of the facility. Currently, Vale holds 20% of the company's shares. The factory will produce mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP), an intermediate nickel product that is used as raw material for electric vehicle ( EV ) batteries. In the nickel business tree, MHP is further processed into nickel sulfate, the positive pole (cathode) material (cathode) of EV batteries along with lithium, manganese/aluminum, and cobalt sulfate.Bayu Aji, head of communications at Vale Indonesia, emphasized that the company has the option to increase its share portion in KNI. If Vale chooses to exercise the option, the composition of KNI's shareholders will be Huayou (indirectly) 53%, Ford 17% and Vale Indonesia 30%."Currently, Huayou is the party responsible for the development of the HPAL, because it is the majority shareholder of KNI, while PT Vale is the minority shareholder," he told Investor Daily , Monday (17/7/2023).According to Investor Daily's records , the factory will produce MHP with a capacity of 120 thousand tons per year. The Pomalaa Block HPAL project will process Vale Indonesia's nickel ore from the Pomalaa Block mine.Initial site preparation for this HPAL project has commenced and full construction is expected to commence this year and commercial operations commence in 2026. This collaboration will provide critical materials for the automotive industry's shift to EVs, boost Indonesia's EV manufacturing industry, and support Ford's plans to produce production of 2 million EVs by the end of 2026 and further scale gradually.The three-way nickel processing project will collectively be combined with Ford's other nickel sources, thereby contributing significantly to supporting the US company's EV production target through the end of 2026. This includes separate supply agreements in development with Ford and Huayou for cathode precursor active material which is important for the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries. Capex estimateOn the other hand, JP Morgan held the JPM Asean Energy & Metal forum, 11-12 July 2023, which was attended by energy and mineral companies, including Vale Indonesia, PT Merdeka Copper Tbk (MDKA), PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk (MBMA), and PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (NCKL) or Harita Nickel.The discussion that developed in the forum was mostly about the progress of the snapper nickel project. In the case of Vale Indonesia, there is a project to build a ferronickel factory in Bahodopi with a capacity of 73 thousand tons per year and HPAL in Pomalaa and Sorowako with a capacity of 180 thousand tons per year.On that occasion, Vale Indonesia's management emphasized that there was a possibility of a delay in the Bahodopi project. However, Tisco, Vale's partner in the project, has received approval and the final funding scheme is expected to be issued in July 2023. So far, wrote JP Morgan, Vale and its partners have disbursed US$ 50 million in Bahodopi for land preparation.Investor Daily notes , Vale has worked on a nickel mining and smelter project in Morowali, Central Sulawesi (Central Sulawesi), which required an investment of Rp 37.5 trillion. This was marked by the laying of the first stone at the mining and smelter site . The smelter will be built and operated by PT Bahodopi Nickel Smelting Indonesia or BNSI, a joint venture between Vale Indonesia and Tisco and Xin Hai and will use rotary kiln electric furnace (RKEF) technology, which processes nickel ore into ferronickel with a capacity of 73 thousand tons per year.Vale holds 49% of the company's shares, while Tisco and Xin Hai hold the rest. The smelter will process nickel at the Bahodopi mine, Central Sulawesi, which is 100% owned by Vale Indonesia.The interesting thing, wrote JP Morgan, is that Vale's management predicts that Bahodopi and HPAL's  capex will decrease, while cash funds for the HPAL project are likely to disburse in 2027. This is inseparable from Vale's option to increase its shareholding in KNI.In total, Vale Indonesia's capex in the next 3-4 years is predicted to be around US$ 1.5-1.8 billion, excluding the option to add KNI shares. JP Morgan believes this is not a problem for Vale Indonesia, because the company can earn US$ 300 million in EBITDA per year from selling nickel ore to the HPAL project.Image source: B-Universe Photo/Mohammad DefrizalSource: https://investor.id/market/335370/vale-inco-berpotensi-kuasai-30-saham-megaproyek-nikel-ev

Indonesia may have its own nickel price index. Currently, the Indonesian Nickel Miners Association (APNI) and the government, in this case the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenkomarves), are working hand-in-hand to make preparations to realize this ambition.APNI Secretary General Meidy K. Lengkey said domestic nickel industry stakeholders plan to meet with a number of price index providers such as Argus Media and the London Metal Exchange (LME)."They (LME, Argus Media, etc.) are experts in pricing commodities," said Meidy in Jakarta, Monday (10/7).The discourse to form an Indonesian Nickel Index has been rolling in the last few years. The goal is to form a price index that better reflects domestic nickel prices. This is because currently the benchmark mineral price (HPM) is still oriented to the price from the London Metal Exchange (LME).The idea to form an Indonesian nickel index was initiated by APNI. According to Meidy, this plan has received the green light from the government. "Now it's with the government, it's progressing, it's still on progress. Later maybe in August and September the smelters will be invited by Pak Luhut," said Meidy.APNI and the government's intention to form their own nickel index was confirmed by the Spokesperson for the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Jodi Mahardi. According to the plan, the index will be named Indonesia Nickel Price Index."Indonesia is planning to form the Indonesia Nickel Price Index which is targeted to be formed by the end of this year," said Jodi when contacted on Tuesday (11/7).Jodi said, the concept of forming the Indonesia Nickel Price Index is in line with the existing concept of Reference Coal Prices (HBA). The existence of the Indonesia Nickel Price Index, according to Jodi, can bring a number of benefits. One of them is providing price certainty for mining business actors and smelter owners and protecting them from price fluctuations on the LME market."By having our own nickel price index, we can better monitor market conditions and adjust policies as needed," said Jodi.Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Mining Experts (Perhapi) Rizal Kasli said it was fitting for Indonesia as a country with large nickel reserves to have a nickel index. According to him, the index needs to be pursued so that it can be used as a basis for reference for world nickel sales. "The first advantage is Indonesia's recognition as the world's largest producer of nickel. Second, we can control world nickel prices. Third, miners, traders and the government have a price standard as a benchmark that does not depend on institutions from other countries," Rizal told on Tuesday (11/7).Nickel companies, including PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (NCKL), received a positive response to the plan to form an Indonesian nickel price index."We support the government's plan to form a nickel index which can later become a reference for the price of nickel produced and sold in Indonesia," NCKL's Corporate Affairs Manager, Anie Rahmi told on Tuesday (11/7).Director of PT Central Omega Resources Tbk (DKFT), Andi Jaya, said that the formation of the Indonesian nickel index would make the nickel trading system more in line with domestic conditions.In addition, according to him, this step can also help nickel industry stakeholders make better decisions."With the existence of the Indonesian Nickel Index, it can provide more detailed and transparent information regarding nickel prices and trading activities in the domestic market, so that industry players, investors and other stakeholders can get a clearer view of market trends and make good decisions. ,” explained Andi.Finance Director of PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (INCO), Bernardus Irmanto, said that the formation of the Indonesian nickel index could provide a large bargaining position for Indonesia in the nickel industry."As the owner of the largest nickel ore deposit, it is appropriate for Indonesia to have bargaining in determining pricing," said Irmanto.Nevertheless, he admits that he has not been able to measure the impact of the establishment of the index on business actors."Actually, for businesses, we need a functioning index, so that it provides a degree of certainty for our revenue. I can't comment yet whether (the Indonesian nickel index) is better for businesses (compared to the LME) before knowing how the index was formed," said Irmanto.Image source: ANTARA FOTO/JOJONSource: https://industri.kontan.co.id/news/indonesia-nickel-price-index-ditargetkan-terbentuk-akhir-2023

Investment Minister Bahlil Lahadalia on Friday gave the latest updates on Indonesia’s proposal for a global nickel cartel, saying that it has had intense talks with some unnamed countries.Resource-rich Indonesia has been proposing a group of nickel-producing countries that operates in a similar manner to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec). The Opec says it aims to coordinate the petroleum policies of its member states and keep the oil markets stable. And Indonesia wants to see a similar group for nickel, which is a key ingredient for electric vehicle (EV) batteries."There are three countries whom we already have been intensely communicating with," Bahlil told reporters in Jakarta on Friday, commenting on the progress of the Opec-style nickel group.The minister, however, refused to disclose the name of the said countries. When asked about their initial response to the plan, Bahlil said: "[they thought] it was a great idea, but we still need to work on the details of the proposal."President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo last month tried to pitch the Opec-style nickel cartel at Hiroshima's G7 Summit. Jokowi told the world leaders of Indonesia’s industrial downstream strategy, in which the country preferred refining raw minerals domestically rather than shipping out unprocessed ores. “I hope G7 countries can become a partner in these industrial downstream [policies]. It is time to establish an OPEC-like group for other products such as nickel and palm oil,” Jokowi said at the G7 Summit, as quoted by the Presidential Secretariat.According to the 2023 US Geological Survey report, Indonesia and Australia hold the title as the countries with the world’s largest nickel reserves. Both countries’ nickel reserves amount to 21 million metric tons, respectively. Indonesia’s mines produced 1.6 million metric tons of the silvery metal in 2022. The nickel mine production in Australia reached 160,000 tons that year. Bahlil last year had proposed the nickel cartel to Canadian International Trade Minister Mary Ng on the sidelines of the G20 Summit. The US Geological Survey data shows that Canada’s nickel reserves stand at 2.2 million metric tons with its mine production in 2022 reaching 130,000 metric tons.“All this time EV producing countries are being protectionists. Consequently, countries that are producing the battery raw materials fail to enjoy optimum added values from the EV industry. We hope all nickel-producing countries can benefit from an evenly distributed added value,” Bahlil was quoted as saying by news outlet Antara last November.Image source: Antara PhotoSource: https://jakartaglobe.id/news/indonesia-in-talks-with-3-unnamed-countries-for-opeclike-nickel-cartel

The Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia revealed that downstream production has made nickel-producing regions, such as North Maluku, record economic growth above the national average. Bahlil stated that the positive impact of the downstream focus carried out by the Indonesian government had made economic growth occur evenly, especially in areas producing nickel raw materials.One example is North Maluku. He revealed that before focusing on downstream, the regional economic growth was below the average national economic growth."Now North Maluku's economic growth is above national economic growth, which is 19 percent, even last year it was up to 27 percent," he said in a press conference held at the Ministry of Investment Building, Jakarta, Friday (30/6/2023).Based on data from the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, apart from North Maluku , other nickel-producing regions have also recorded economic growth above the national average. Central Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi, for example, recorded per capita growth of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of 20.3 percent and 6.7 percent respectively in 2022. This achievement is higher than the average economic growth of 6.4 percent.Therefore, Bahlil firmly rejected the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) proposal, which asked the government not to expand downstream by stopping commodity exports.  "Even if the sky is falling, downstream will still be a priority for the country in the administrations of Joko Widodo and Ma'ruf Amin. Second, we will continue to enforce the export ban," said Bahlil.The IMF, through a report entitled IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with Indonesia , asked the government to consider removing restrictions on commodity exports in stages, and the cost-benefits of this policy need to be carried out periodically.  According to Bahlil, if the government continues to export commodities, millions of raw materials will be sent abroad without regard to environmental management, as well as loss of jobs and added value from the IMF recommendations."How many people did we fail to create job opportunities, how much value was lost as a result of this recommendation. So, it's a built in double standard. At the same time other countries are banning exports," he concluded.Image source: Special / Harita NickelSource: https://ekonomi.bisnis.com/read/20230630/9/1670565/dampak-hilirisasi-nikel-ekonomi-maluku-utara-melesat-19-persen

Electric vehicle battery manufacturer PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk or MBMA has appointed Andrew Phillip Starkey as director of the company. This decision was taken at the recent Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS).President Director of PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk Devin Ridwan said Andrew's appointment was made to strengthen the management structure in managing the increasingly large MBMA business. By consolidating the management structure and supported by Andrew's track record in the investment and mining sectors, it is hoped that it will make it easier for MBMA to maximize future opportunities to improve the Company's performance.Andrew himself has joined the Merdeka Group since 2022. Previously, he served as Managing Director at Macquarie Group, Vice President at Goldman Sachs and Executive Director at Presidio Capital. He also co-founded Pierfront Capital and served as Managing Director from 2016 to 2022."With the new management, we are committed to carrying out the business plan that has been carefully prepared, to be quoted on Saturday (1/7/2023).The company's AGMS for the 2022 financial year also approved a number of strategic decisions, including approval of the Annual Report along with ratification of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2022 financial year.With the appointment of Andrew, the composition of the MBMA board of directors after the AGMS is as follows.President Director: Devin RidwanVice President Director: Jason Laurence GreiveDirector: Titien SupenoDirector: Andrew Phillip StarkeyAdditional information, the company is a business entity PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk or MDKA which recently went public on the stock exchange in April 2023. Devin said, the realization of IPO funds of around IDR 92 trillion by the end of May 2023 had reached 53%, of which were used for early repayment of all principal debt to PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk and ING Bank NV, Singapore branch, each of USD 225 million and USD 75 million or equivalent to IDR 4.46 trillion.Other uses of the IPO funds are for the Company's working capital such as employee fees, professional fees and financial costs, and to finance the working capital of PT Zhao Hui Nickel (ZHN) (a subsidiary of the Company), such as the purchase of main raw materials, supporting raw materials, electricity costs. , as well as employee costs.At the AGMS, the shareholders also approved the use of net profit for the 2022 financial year, the majority of which will be allocated to strengthen the company's capital. In 2022, MBMA recorded revenue of USD 455.74 million with profit for the year of USD 37.85 million. As of December 31, 2022, the company's total assets have reached USD 2.42 billion. The company also looks optimistically at 2023. The increase in revenue is projected to come from the operation of the ZHN Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) smelter plant which has a target installed capacity of 50,000 tons of Ni in the form of Nickel Pig Iron (NPI) per year, the AIM project and PT Huaneng Metal Industry (HNMI), a high-tech conversion facility. -grade nickel matte (HGNM), whose 60% stake was recently acquired by the company.While the ZHN RKEF smelter and the AIM project are expected to start production after the construction process is completed in the second half of 2023. HNMI will produce HGNM containing more than 70% nickel by processing low-grade nickel matte produced by the RKEF smelter. Nickel matte is the main raw material for battery precursors and Class 1 Nickel. HNMI is currently in commercial operation and is expected to start making a positive contribution to MBMA's revenue in the second half of 2023.Just so you know, in 2022 MBMA's main source of income will come from the sale of NPI to foreign and domestic markets, amounting to USD 270.33 million and USD 185.4 million respectively. The NPI production comes from the RKEF smelters owned by PT Cahaya Smelter Indonesia and PT Bukit Smelter Indonesia, each of which has an installed capacity of 19,000 tons of Ni in the form of NPI per year. So that with the operation of the RKEF ZHN smelter, MBMA's total installed capacity will reach 88,000 tons of Ni per year.Image source: merdekacoppergold.com/Source: https://akurat.co/mbma-tunjuk-andrew-phillip-starkey-jadi-direksi
