Jokowi Launches Amman Mineral’s $1.4 Billion Copper Smelter in W. Sumbawa​

Jayanty Nada Shofa

September 23, 2024 | 12:35 pm

Jakarta. President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo launched Monday a copper smelter belonging to mining giant Amman Mineral Internasional in West Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara.


The project, which includes a precious metal refinery, is an investment worth Rp 21 trillion (approximately $1.4 billion). The facility became the country’s first-ever copper smelter belonging to Indonesian businessmen, the government claimed.


According to Jokowi, Amman’s copper smelter marks a major step in Indonesia’s steadfast resource nationalism, in which the country favors domestically processing its abundant minerals to grow its economy.


“We want the world to rely on Indonesia for copper products, be it cathode sheet, copper foil, or cables. Anything that we can produce at home. We will no longer export raw materials,” Jokowi said during the plant’s inauguration ceremony.

Jokowi is hoping that the smelter can help the Indonesian economy depend less on domestic consumption. More than half of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) comes from domestic consumption.


The president added: “Domestic consumption represents 56 percent of our GDP. We need to change this. … We are seeking to be an industrialized, advanced economy by processing our own resources so we can turn our GDP growth to rely more on production rather than consumption.”


The newly established smelter, which sits on a 272-hectare land, will produce its first copper cathode by end-2024. The Amman Mineral smelter boasts an annual capacity of 900,000 tons of copper concentrates. It will produce 220,000 tons of copper cathode, 18 tons of gold, 55 tons of silver, and 850,000 tons of sulfuric acid byproducts, according to Jokowi.


A 2024 US Geological Survey report shows that Indonesia’s copper reserves stand at 24 million metric tons. Chile has the world’s largest copper reserves (190 million metric tons), seconded by Peru (120 million metric tons). Indonesia’s mines produced an estimated 840,000 metric tons of copper with its refinery production reaching 200,000 metric tons last year.

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - SOEs Holding Indonesia Mining Industry, MIND ID, consistently realize Indonesian mineral downstream and industrialization projects to support future development.

Corporate Secretary of MIND ID, Heri Yusuf explained that downstreaming and mineral industrialization is a long-term strategic step that will greatly have a positive impact on the future of the Indonesian economy. The impact includes increased added value from mineral commodities, absorption and improving the quality of labor, while increasing the competitiveness of the country on the global scene.

"MIND ID as a state-owned company that has a mandate to succeed the downstream program is committed to overseeing the implementation of mineral strategic projects to provide maximum added value for Indonesia's future," Heri said in his official statement, written Friday (20/9/2024).

This increase in added value results from processing basic minerals with low values into a high-tech end user product such as electric vehicles.

The massive downstream project carried out by MIND ID also enlarges the absorption as well as the quality of the workforce ranging from casual supply such as mining, refinement, to downstream such as smelter development and infrastructure and industrial operations. Downstreaming at the same time will make Indonesia’s competitiveness higher and even have better bargaining power in every global economic policy.

"Of course, downstreaming is a long-term program with high investment. We are committed to consistently completing and running operations of each downstream project so that it can provide the greatest impact and benefits for the prosperity of all Indonesian people, "he explained.

In mid-2024, the government has started the operation of a new smelter owned by MIND ID Holding Member, PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) in the Special Economic Area (KEK) Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE), Gresik, East Java.

The world’s largest single line copper concentrate purification plant also enlarges the smelter capacity from 1 million tons to 3 million tons per year.

In addition, the MIND ID Group through PT Borneo Alumina Indonesia (BAI) is also expanding the scope of the national mineral downstream project.

This joint venture (JV) between PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium3 (INALUM) and PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM) will increase the added value of bauxite through Smelter Grade Alumina Refinry (SGAR) in Mempawah, West Kalimantan. The project is believed to further complement the supply chain of Indonesian aluminum production.

The MIND ID group has also established a strategic partnership to develop an integrated electric vehicle battery ecosystem. This project will be run from the formation of the material industry of battery components, cell batteries, to the recycling industry ecosystem of electric vehicle products.

Kendal Industrial Park, Central Java

Bloomberg Technoz, Jakarta –Indonesia officially started production of the largest lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) cathode factory outside China since Tuesday (8/10/2024). The location is in Kendal Industrial Park (KIP).

Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan explained that the LFP cathode factory was inaugurated by President Jokowi in August, and will produce one of the 3 main cells of lithium batteries, namely; anode, cathode, and electrolyte.

The lithium battery LFP cathode material factory is a collaboration between PT LBM Energi Baru Indonesia and the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA). The total investment value, said Luhut, reached US$350 million, with projected revenues reaching US$1.2 billion/year through exports to the United States (US), Europe, Japan, and South Korea.

"This collaboration is a strategic step in building the largest LFP cathode production facility outside China. This is not just a factory, but also the foundation of Indonesia's integrated EV ecosystem," he said.

By improving the lithium battery production chain, no less than 3 million electric vehicles worldwide will have their lithium battery needs met by the industry in Indonesia.

Luhut said the factory will also have a significant impact on the local community by creating more than 2,000 jobs, 92% of which will be filled by local workers.
In addition to the LFP cathode factory, Indonesia is also exploring opportunities for cooperation in downstreaming copper for EV battery raw materials.

In this regard, PT Industri Baterai Indonesia (IBC) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nuode Investment Co Ltd (Nuode) and China Hualong International Construction Corporation (SINORON).
The cooperation aims to encourage the downstreaming program of copper, especially in terms of the use of copper cathodes as raw materials for copper foil for battery anodes and electronic PCBs.

The scope of cooperation in this MoU includes, among others, joint studies related to the market potential of copper foil for lithium-ion batteries and PCBs; exploration of the supply of copper cathodes and sulfuric acid; exploration of investment plans to form a JV copper foil for batteries and PCB electronics.

"This cooperation plan is IBC's effort to develop a new energy materials ecosystem for batteries, namely copper foil which is an important component in battery anodes.

It is hoped that the raw material for copper foil, namely copper cathodes, can be supplied by the PT Freeport Indonesia smelter which was just inaugurated by President [Joko Widodo] on September 23, 2024," said President Director of PT Industri Baterai Indonesia Toto Nugroho in a press release, quoted Wednesday (2/10/2024).

Director of Operations and Business Development of PT Industri Baterai Indonesia Jeffrie N. Korompis said that IBC's cooperation plan with Nuode is one of IBC's onshoring strategies to develop a national battery ecosystem.

Ikmal further explained, VW is currently preparing a business plan that will be completed in the next few months before establishing an electric vehicle battery factory in Indonesia. The investment value of VW is estimated to reach USD5 billion or equivalent to Rp74.2 trillion (Exchange Rate Rp14,854 / USD).

"They are starting to put together a business plan, maybe in a few months there will be their company here. Local factors have been, later they will establish an electric vehicle battery factory," Ikmal said when met at the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Ministry of Investment / BKPM, Sunday (28/5/2023).

According to Ikmal, VW's entry into the downstream nickel industry is a positive catalyst later for the country's foreign exchange. Because VW will also supply the needs of electric vehicle batteries throughout the world.

"They will supply the needs of complementary batteries in the world, it is a matter of pride for us because it has been trusted, the important thing is good stability, God willing, VW can run," he continued.

However, regarding the location of the factory establishment, Ikmal admitted that he could not convey the details. Because of fear that there will be speculation from land prices in the region.

"God willing, this year (build a factory) if they have chosen the location, actually there is already a location, only we cannot be told. So they are not only one industrial area, they can also be others," said Lukman.

Ikmal revealed, after working on vehicle batteries, it is possible that VW is also ready to produce electric cars in Indonesia. So it is expected that VW's entry into Indonesia will open wider employment opportunities later. "Electric batteries will be with the car, but initially the electric battery first, if the car is not difficult, because most of the bodies have been made (in Indonesia)," he concluded.
