IGP Pomalaa

PT Vale and Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co., Ltd. jointly realizing a partnership that mutually supports sustainable mining practices in Bumi Mekongga, Southeast Sulawesi.

PT Vale is in charge of supplying the nickel ore, while Huayou will ensure nickel processing at an HPAL (High-Pressure Acid Leach) based factory. Huayou has operational advantages as a supplier of materials for electric vehicle batteries. Meanwhile, PT Vale has more than half a century of experience in carrying out sustainable mining in Indonesia.

The project's estimated annual output is 120,000 tonnes of nickel and approximately 15,000 tonnes of cobalt contained in MHP products. Our investment in the Pomalaa Block for mines and HPAL facilities is US$ 4.5 billion.
