PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTAM), a member of Mining Industry Indonesia, has recorded positive achievement in the production and sales performance of its main nickel commodity throughout the January, Kallanish reports.
In January 2023, ANTAM's unaudited ferronickel production remained optimal, with a production volume of 2,113 tonnes of ferronickel (TNi), growing 28% from a year ago.
As a result, the unaudited sales performance of ferronickel products in January 2023 reached 2,013 TNi.
In the second half of 2023, ANTAM's Ferronickel Plant in East Halmahera, North Maluku, will start production to strengthen the capacity of ANTAM's existing ferronickel plant production line, which is currently operating in Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi.
For nickel ore products, ANTAM's total unaudited nickel ore production in January 2023 reached 1.06 million wet metric tons (wmt), growing 16% on-year.
As a result, unaudited nickel ore sales volume came to 1.08m wmt in January 2023, growing by more than 80% on-year.
ANTAM’s director of operations and production I Dewa Wirantaya says the solid production and sales performance is a positive start to achieving its 2023 annual production and sales target.
He says ANTAM aims to strengthen the performance of production and sales of the company's main commodities in line with the positive outlook for absorbing base metal and precious metal commodities in 2023.
“Consistent implementation of operational and good mining practices will form the basis for improving the performance of the company's core business,” he adds.
