Weda Bay nickel operations. Credit score: Eramet
French miner Eramet SA is seeking to purchase extra nickel mining permits in Indonesia, the Jakarta Publish reported, citing a senior firm official.
The agency needs to mine the battery steel on the island of Sulawesi, Bruno Faour, director of Eramet’s Indonesia unit, stated in an interview. The potential websites would have to be close to areas with hydropower potential that would feed the operations, he added.
