Indonesia considers terminating permits for some nickel pig iron production
 
The Indonesian government is conducting a comprehensive evaluation regarding the termination of permits for the RKEF smelters which make products in the form of ferronickel and nickel pig iron, a mining ministry official said on Tuesday.
 
Irwandy Arif, a senior official with the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, said the government is focused on the development of High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) smelters – which extract nickel and cobalt from laterite ore bodies to produce Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate, a precursor material for the battery industry – and smelters that produce nickel matte.
 
It is unclear whether the possible termination will apply to existing permits.
