Nickel Industries Ltd has received approval from the Ministry of Mines for its techno-economic feasibility study to expand ore sales from its 80%-owned Hengjaya Mine. The approval allows the company to increase sales from nine million wet metric tonnes (wmt) per annum to 19 million wmt per annum.
Following this approval, Nickel Industries will submit an environmental impact study (AMDAL), the next regulatory step to secure an updated Rencana Kera dan Anggaran Biaya (RKAB), the triennial work and budget plan for operations.
