Reached US$115.35 per tonne, July's HBA Highest in a Decade

Rio Indrawan

FRESH wind continues to blow for coal

commodities and mining business players. Imagine, the Reference Coal Price (HBA) in July recorded an increase of US$15.02 per ton to US$115.35 per tonne compared to June which was at the level of US$100.33 per ton. The realization of this HBA is the highest in the last decade or since November 2011.

Agung Pribadi, Head of the Bureau of Communication, Public Information Services, and Cooperation (KLIK) of the Ministry of ESDM, said that this increase was mainly triggered by the high level of consumption in East Asian countries. China's coal consumption continues to surge. "China's domestic coal supply capacity continues to run low as power generation activities resume," Agung explained in Jakarta, Monday (5/7).

China itself is quite overwhelmed to meet domestic coal needs due to operational constraints such as mining accidents and weather changes in the form of extreme rain.

Apart from China, Japan and South Korea also showed a similar graph of rising consumption. "This has an impact on the increase in global coal prices," said Agung.

The determination of the HBA increase is contained in the Decree of the Minister of ESDM No. 121.K/HK.02/MEM.B/2021 concerning Reference Metal Mineral Prices and Reference Coal Prices for July 2021 and stipulated by the Minister of ESDM Arifin Tasrif on 2 July 2021.

Tembus US$115,35 per Ton, HBA Juli Tertinggi dalam Satu

Dekade Terakhir Rio Indrawan

ANGIN segar terus berhembus bagi

komoditas batu bara dan para pelaku usaha tambang. Betapa tidak, Harga Batubara Acuan (HBA) bulan Juli mencatatkan kenaikan sebesar US$15,02 per ton menjadi US$115,35 per ton dibandingkan bulan Juni yang berada di level US$100,33 per ton. Realisasi HBA ini jadi tertinggi dalam satu dekade terakhir atau sejak November 2011.

Agung Pribadi, Kepala Biro Komunikasi, Layanan Informasi Publik, dan Kerja Sama (KLIK) Kementerian ESDM, mengungkapkan kenaikan ini utamanya dipicu oleh tingginya tingkat konsumsi di negara-negara Asia Timur. Konsumsi batu bara Tiongkok terus mengalami lonjakan. “Kapasitas pasokan batubara domestik Tiongkok terus menipis seiring kembalinya geliat aktivitas pem-bangkit listrik,” jelas Agung ditemui di Jakarta, Senin (5/7).

China sendiri cukup kewalahan memenuhi kebutuhan batu bara dalam negeri akibat terjadinya kendala operasional seperti adanya kecelakaan tambang dan perubahan cuaca berupa hujan yang ekstrim.

Selain Tiongkok, Jepang dan Korea Selatan juga menunjukkan grafis konsumsi kenaikan serupa. “Ini berimbas pada kenaikan harga batubara global,” ujar Agung.

Ketetapan kenaikan HBA ini tertuang dalam Keputusan Menteri ESDM No.121.K/ HK.02/MEM.B/2021 tentang Harga Mineral Logam Acuan dan Harga Batu Bara Acuan untuk Bulan Juli Tahun 2021 dan ditetapkan oleh Menteri ESDM Arifin Tasrif pada 2 Juli 2021.


This increase is a new record high, after previously in June it also penetrated US$ 100.33 per ton, and recorded as the highest HBA since November 2011 which at that time reached US$ 116.65 per ton. "This increase is the highest in a decade," said Agung.

For information, HBA is the price obtained from the average index of the Indonesia Coal Index (ICI), Newcastle Export Index (NEX), Globalcoal Newcastle Index (GCNC), and Platt's 5900 in the previous month, with quality equivalent to 6322 kcal/ calories. kg GAR, Total Moisture 8%, Total Sulfur 0.8%, and Ash 15%.

There are two derivative factors that affect the movement of HBA, namely, supply and demand. In terms of supply derivatives, it is influenced by season (weather), mining techniques, supplier country policies, to supply chain technicalities such as trains, barges, and loading terminals.

Meanwhile, the demand derivative factor is influenced by declining electricity demand, which correlates with industrial conditions, import policies, and competition with other energy commodities, such as LNG, nuclear, and hydro.

Later, this July HBA will be used to determine the price of coal at the point of sale delivery on a Free on Board basis on a transport vessel (FOB Vessel). (RI)

Kenaikan ini merupakan rekor tertinggi baru, setelah sebelumnya pada Juni lalu juga menembus US$100,33 per ton, dan mencatat-kan sebagai HBA tertinggi sejak November 2011 yang saat itu mencapai US$116,65 per ton. “Kenaikan ini menjadi yang paling tinggi dalam satu dekade,” tegas Agung.

Sebagai informasi, HBA adalah harga yang diperoleh dari rata-rata indeks Indonesia Coal Index (ICI), Newcastle Export Index (NEX), Globalcoal Newcastle Index (GCNC), dan Platt’s 5900 pada bulan sebelumnya, dengan kualitas yang disetarakan pada kalori 6322 kcal/kg GAR, Total Moisture 8%, Total Sulphur 0,8%, dan Ash 15%.

Terdapat dua faktor turunan yang me-mengaruhi pergerakan HBA yaitu, supply dan demand. Pada faktor turunan supply dipengaruhi oleh season (cuaca), teknis tambang, kebijakan negara supplier, hingga teknis di supply chain seperti kereta, tongkang, maupun loading terminal.

Sementara untuk faktor turunan demand dipengaruhi oleh kebutuhan listrik yang turun berkorelasi dengan kondisi industri, kebijakan impor, dan kompetisi dengan komoditas energi lain, seperti LNG, nuklir, dan hidro.

Nantinya, HBA bulan Juli ini akan diperguna-kan pada penentuan harga batubara pada titik serah penjualan secara Free on Board di atas kapal pengangkut (FOB Vessel). (RI)

First Quarter, Darma Henwa Record Profit of US$8.1 million

Rahajeng KH, CNBC Indonesia

PT DARMA Henwa Tbk (DEWA) recorded

significant profit growth in the first quarter of 2021.

Kuartal I, Darma Henwa Catat Laba US$8,1 juta

Rahajeng KH, CNBC Indonesia

PT DARMA Henwa Tbk (DEWA) men-

catatkan pertumbuhan laba yang signifikan pada kuartal I-2021.


Gross profit jumped 102.5 times to US$ 8.1 million. Meanwhile, the Company's revenue in the first quarter of 2021 decreased slightly by 10% to US$ 73.8 million compared to US$ 82 million in the first quarter of 2021.

This decline was due to the uneconomical termination of subcontractors at the Bengalon Project in mid-2020. However, the company still recorded significant margins with Operating EBITDA soaring 2.5 times to US$ 16.6 million from US$ 6.6 million.

The Company recorded a foreign exchange loss of US$ 1.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 due to the appreciation of the Rupiah exchange rate, compared to a foreign exchange gain of US$ 9.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. This is a non-cash loss resulting from the recording of a loss. With this exchange rate difference, the Company's operating profit became US$ 3.9 million, down from US$ 6.65 million in the first quarter of 2020.

DEWA has also implemented three main strategies, namely, reducing operating costs through efficient maintenance programs, global sourcing, and increasing the capacity of the Company's production fleet.

DEWA Vice President Director and CEO Prabhakaran Balasubramanian, in the first quarter of 2021 the total volume of material moving using the Company's production fleet increased by 26.4 percent to 16.3 million bcm, from 12.9 million bcm compared to the first quarter of 2020. However, production volume from sub-contractors decreased significantly to 11.0 million bcm from 22.7 million bcm in the first quarter of 2020.

The total volume of material removal decreased by 23.3% to 27.3 million bcm from 35.6 million bcm. This decrease was due to…

Tercatat laba kotor melonjak 102,5x kali menjadi US$ 8,1 juta. Sementara itu, pendapatan Perseroan pada kuartal I-2021 mengalami sedikit penurunan sebesar 10% menjadi US$ 73,8 Juta dibandingkan US$ 82 juta di kuartal I-2021.

Penurunan ini disebabkan oleh peng-hentian subkontraktor yang tidak ekonomis di Proyek Bengalon pada pertengahan 2020. Meski demikian perusahaan masih mencatatkan margin yang signifikan dengan EBITDA Operasi melonjak 2,5 kali lipat menjadi US$ 16,6 juta dari US$ 6,6 juta.

Perseroan mencatatkan kerugian selisih kurs sebesar US$ 1,5 juta di kuartal I-2021 karena apresiasi nilai tukar Rupiah, di-bandingkan laba selisih kurs sebesar US$ 9,4 juta di kuartal pertama 2020. Ini adalah kerugian non-tunai yang diakibatkan pencatatan Akibat kerugian selisih kurs ini, Laba operasional Perseroan menjadi US$ 3,9 juta, turun dibandingkan US$ 6,65 juta di kuartal I-2020.

DEWA juga melakukan tiga strategi utama yakni, pengurangan biaya operasi melalui program pemeliharaan yang efisien, global sourcing, dan peningkatan kapasitas fleet produksi Perseroan.

Wakil Presiden Direktur dan CEO DEWA Prabhakaran Balasubramanian, di kuartal I-2021 total volume pemindahan material menggunakan fleet produksi Perseroan meningkat 26,4% menjadi 16,3 juta bcm, dari 12,9 juta bcm dibandingkan kuartal I-2020. Meski demikian volume produksi dari subkontraktor turun signifikan men-jadi 11,0 juta bcm dari 22,7 juta bcm di kuartal I-2020.

Adapun total volume pemindahan material turun 23,3% menjadi 27,3 juta bcm dari 35,6 juta bcm. Penurunan ini disebabkan karena…


This decrease was due to the Company discontinuing its subcontractor in the Bengalon Project in mid -202, due to uneconomic contracts.

That way, according to him, from a financial perspective, the company is able to increase margins even though production volume and revenue are down. This subsidiary of PT Bumi Resources will also continue this strategy by targeting 100% production volume using the Company's production fleet within the next 2 years.

"To achieve this, DEWA is planning an improvement program by placing more equipment, through internal funding and external loans," said Prabhakaran.

Prabhakaran reaffirmed his commitment to consistently achieve progress and improve effic iency, to increase profitability . This year , DEWA is also expanding its work in the South Kalimantan area which is expected to boost the Company's growth in the coming quarters.

So far, the company has invested in mining equipment which is expected to increase the volume of these projects and achieve better financial performance in semester II-2021.

DEWA has also invested heavily through a production equipment repair program, particularly for the Satui Project in South Kalimantan. It is expected that the increase in volume from this project will be seen in the second semester of 2021, along with the addition of more production fleets in the second and third quarters of 2021.

"We increase the capacity of our own production fleet through a combination of new equipment and rebuilding the old fleet. We do this by extending the life of existing equipment through recycling,…

Penurunan ini disebabkan karena Perseroan menghentikan subkontraktor di Proyek Bengalon pada pertengahan tahun 202, karena kontrak yang tidak ekonomis.

Dengan begitu menurutnya dari sisi keuangan, perseroan mampu meningkatkan margin meskipun volume produksi dan pendapatan turun. Anak perusahaan PT Bumi Resources ini pun akan melanjutkan strategi ini dengan menargetkan 100% volume produksi menggunakan fleet produksi Perseroan dalam waktu 2 tahun ke depan.

"Untuk mencapai hal tersebut, DEWA merencanakan program perbaikan dengan menempatkan lebih banyak peralatan, melalui pendanaan internal dan pinjaman eksternal," kata Prabhakaran.

Prabhakaran menegaskan kembali komit-mennya untuk secara konsisten mencapai kemajuan dan meningkatkan efisiensi, untuk meningkatkan profitabilitas. Tahun ini, DEWA juga melakukan ekspansi pekerjaan di wilayah Kalimantan Selatan yang diharapkan akan mendorong pertumbuhan Perseroan di kuartal mendatang.

Sejauh ini perseroan telah berinvestasi dalam peralatan pertambangan yang diharapkan dapat meningkatkan volume pada proyek-proyek tersebut dan mencapai kinerja keuangan yang lebih baik di semester II-2021.

DEWA juga berinvestasi besar-besaran melalui program perbaikan alat produksi, terutama untuk Proyek Satui di Kalimantan Selatan. Diharapkan peningkatan volume dari proyek ini akan dapat terlihat di semester II-2021, seiring penambahan lebih banyak fleet produksi di kuartal II dan III-2021.

"Kami tingkatkan kapasitas fleet produksi sendiri melalui kombinasi peralatan baru dan membangun kembali armada yang lama. Kami melakukannya dengan memperpanjang usia peralatan yang ada melalui program daur ulang (recycle),…


We do this by extending the life of existing equipment through recycling, rebuilding and reuse programs, where the program is more effective environmentally friendly and supports our sustainable mining," he said.

DEWA also increases the productivity of the production fleet to increase effective working hours. In this way, the combination of a rebuilding strategy through capital efficiency and an increase in operational performance is certain to increase the company's added value. (rah/rah)

Kami melakukannya dengan memper-panjang usia peralatan yang ada melalui program daur ulang (recycle), pembangunan kembali (rebuild) dan penggunaan kembali (reuse), dimana program tersebut lebih ramah lingkungan dan mendukung pertam-bangan berkelanjutan kami," kata dia.

DEWA juga meningkatkan produktivitas fleet produksi untuk meningkatkan jam kerja efektif. Dengan begitu kombinasi antara strategi pembangunan kembali melalui capital efficiency dan peningkatan kinerja operasional dipastikan meningkat-kan nilai tambah perusahaan. (rah/rah)

Sara said that the drivers of the increase in heavy equipment sales were construction and mining activities.

In order to achieve the sales target by the end of the year, this issuer also ensures that supplies to customers are on schedule. Sara said the current emergency PPKM-related policies did not affect UNTR's operational performance.

Sara mengungkapkan pendorong kenaikan penjualan alat berat adalah kegiatan konstruksi dan pertambangan.

Guna mencapai target penjualan sampai akhir tahun, emiten ini juga memastikan suplai kepada pelanggan sesuai dengan jadwal. Sara bilang, kebijakan terkait PPKM darurat saat ini juga tidak berpengaruh terhadap kinerja operasional UNTR.

HPE for Mining Commodities in July 2021 Again Increases

Author: Edo Fernando, Editor: Umar RP.

POSITIVE trends continue to be shown by a number of mining commodities until the end of June 2021. This happened in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, which until now continues to plague, and even tends to increase daily cases.

The continued improvement in mining commodity prices is reflected in rising global demand. This will ultimately affect the Export Benchmark Price (HPE) set by the government for the July 2021 period.

The Minister of Trade determined the HPE for the July 2021 period by issuing Minister of Trade Regulation Number 42 of 2021, dated June 29, 2021. The majority of mining commodities experienced an increase again, which in June also increased.

Not much different from the increase in HPE in June, the Ministry of Trade said in July that the prices of copper, iron, iron laterite, lead, zinc, iron sand, ilmenite and rutile concentrates increased. Likewise with manganese concentrates and bauxite,…

HPE Komoditas Tambang Bulan Juli 2021 Kembali Naik

Penulis: Edo Fernando, Editor: Umar RP.

TREN positif terus ditunjukkan sejumlah

komoditas tambang sampai dengan akhir Juni 2021 ini. Hal ini terjadi di tengah pandemi Covid-19 yang sampai sekarang terus mewabah, bahkan cenderung mening-kat kasus hariannya.

Terus membaiknya harga komoditas pertam-bangan itu tercermin dari naiknya permintaan secara global. Sehingga pada akhirnya mem-pengaruhi Harga Patokan Ekspor (HPE) yang ditetapkan pemerintah untuk periode Juli 2021.

Menteri Perdagangan menetapkan HPE periode Juli 2021 dengan mengeluarkan Permendag Nomor 42 Tahun 2021, tertanggal 29 Juni 2021. Mayoritas komoditas tambang kembali mengalami kenaikan, di mana pada bulan Juni lalu juga telah naik.

Tidak jauh berbeda dengan kenaikan HPE di bulan Juni lalu, pada bulan Juli ini Kemen-terian Perdagangan mengatakan bahwa konsentrat tembaga, besi, besi laterit, timbal, seng, pasir besi, ilmenite dan rutil mengalami kenaikan harga. Begitu juga dengan konsentrat mangan dan juga bauksit…


Likewise with manganese concentrates and bauxite, which again experienced a

decline in prices. Meanwhile, the iron sand concentrate pellet is still stable.

The following are details of mining

commodities that experienced an increase in HPE in July:

This is the explanation of the Ministry of ESDM regarding the

HBA that broke the record Author: Denis Riantiza Meilanova

THE REFERENCE coal price or HBA in July 2021 recorded an increase of US$15.02 per tonne to US$115.35 per tonne compared to June 2021 which was at the level of US$100.33 per ton.

This increase was mainly triggered by the high level of consumption in East Asian countries and became the highest HBA in the last 10 years.

The head of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources' Bureau of Communi-cation, Public Information and Coopera-tion, Agung Pribadi said that China's coal consumption continued to surge.

"China's domestic coal supply capacity continues to dwindle as power generation activities resume," Agung said in a written statement, Monday (5/7/2021).

According to him, China itself is quite overwhelmed to meet domestic coal needs due to operational constraints such as mining accidents and weather changes in the form of extreme rain. Besides China, continued Agung, Japan and South Korea also showed a similar graphic increase. "This has an impact on the increase in global coal prices," he added.

As is known, the determination of the HBA increase is contained in the Decree of the Minister of ESDM Number 121.K/HK.02/ MEM.B/2021 concerning Reference Metal Mineral Prices and Reference Coal Prices for July 2021 and stipulated by the Minister of ESDM Arifin Tasrif on 2 July 2021.

Begini Penjelasan Kementerian ESDM Soal HBA yang Tembus

Rekor Author: Denis Riantiza Meilanova

HARGA batu bara acuan atau HBA Juli 2021

mencatatkan kenaikan sebesar US$15,02 per ton menjadi US$115,35 per ton disbanding-kan dengan Juni 2021 yang berada di level US$100,33 per ton.

Kenaikan ini utamanya dipicu oleh tingginya tingkat konsumsi di negara-negara Asia Timur dan menjadi HBA tertinggi dalam 10 tahun terakhir.

Kepala Biro Komunikasi, Layanan Informasi Publik, dan Kerja Sama Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Agung Pribadi mengatakan bahwa konsumsi batu bara China terus mengalami lonjakan.

Observers Appreciate ANTAM's

GCG Implementation Imam Suhartadi

COMPANIES that have been on the stock exchange for a long time are expected to be more professional in implementing corporate governance.

Pengamat Apresiasi Penerapan

GCG ANTAM Imam Suhartadi

PERUSAHAAN-perusahaan yang sudah lama melantai di bursa diharapkan semakin profesional dalam menerapkan tata kelola perusahaan.


With good governance, it will increase public trust in the company. The same is true for PT Aneka Tambang Tbk or ANTAM. The mining company under the MIND ID holding has implemented anti-bribery, as an implementation of good corporate governance (GCG).

Based on the information submitted by the Company, the application of the anti-bribery refers to SNI ISO 37001:2016. SMAP, which is one of the infrastructures, is designed as an effort to instill an anti-bribery culture within the Company and implement appropriate controls to increase opportunities to detect, identify, and reduce potential bribery from the start.

According to Lukman Hqeem as Market Observer from PT. Esandar Arthamas, many mining companies in Indonesia are listed on the stock exchange and on average they have implemented good corporate governance (GCG), including Antam. This is inseparable from the stock exchange prerequisites which require this as part of the responsibility of public companies.

“Regarding Antam, it can be said that this company is one of the anchors of stock issuers on the stock exchange. It's no wonder that the implementation of GCG is very good," he said.

He added that there are a number of positive points in good corporate governance which ANTAM has carried out and can become a benchmark for other mining companies.

“Among them are the application of anti-gratification and anti-bribery culture. For me, these two things are very important. As a large public company, Antam can become a benchmark in fighting corruption in this country,” he continued.

Dengan tata kelola yang baik, maka akan meningkatkan kepercayaan publik kepada perusahaan tersebut. Begitu pula yang dilakukan oleh PT Aneka Tambang Tbk atau ANTAM. Perusahaan tambang di bawah holding MIND ID ini telah menerapkan antipenyuapan, sebagai implementasi dari good corporate governance (GCG).

Berdasarkan informasi yang disampaikan Perusahaan, penerapan antipenyuapan tersebut mengacu pada SNI ISO 37001:2016. SMAP yang merupakan salah satu infra-structur dirancang sebagai upaya untuk menanamkan budaya antipenyuapan di internal Perusahaan dan menerapkan pengendalian yang tepat untuk meningkat-kan kesempatan dalam mendeteksi, meng-identifikasi, dan mengurangi potensi penyuapan sejak awal.

Menurut Lukman Hqeem selaku Pengamat Pasar dari PT. Esandar Arthamas, banyak sekali perusahaan tambang di Indonesia yang melantai di bursa saham dan rata-rata mereka sudah menerapkan tata kelola perusahaan (GCG) yang baik, termasuk Antam. Hal ini tidak lepas dari prasyarat bursa yang mengsyaratkan hal tersebut sebagai bagian dari pertanggung jawaban perusahaan publik.

“Mengenai Antam, bisa dikatakan bahwa perusahaan ini merupakan salah satu jangkar dari emiten saham di bursa. Tak heran bila penerapan GCG yang dilakukan-nya sangat baik,” tuturnya.

Ia menambahkan, ada sejumlah poin positif dalam tata kelola perusahaan yang baik di mana sudah dilakukan oleh ANTAM dan bisa menjadi benchmark bagi perusahaan tambang lainnya.

“Di antaranya penerapa budaya anti-gratifikasi dan antipenyuapan. Bagi saya, dua hal ini menjadi sangat penting. Sebagai perusahaan publik besar Antam bisa menjadi benchmark dalam memerangi korupsi di negara ini,” lanjutnya.


Regarding anti-corruption, in 2018 Antam collaborated with the KPK in organizing socialization activities for the company's internals. This collaboration is a form of follow-up to the signing of the Integrated Prevention Commitment between the Company and the KPK in 2017.

Research Director of the Center of Reform on Economics (CORE) Indonesia, Piter Abdullah said, currently companies are required to carry out GCG well.

“Therefore, Antam is a public company that implements GCG governance. In carrying out its business practices, there must be principles of openness, accountability, trustworthiness and accountability," he said.

He continued, GCG itself has indicators, including transparency, accountability, trustworthiness, and being accountable to the public. Public companies like Antam must follow all.

“What Antam has done regarding anti-gratification and anti-bribery is good. Because public companies have to do that,” he concluded. Editor : Imam Suhartadi

Terkait antikorupsi, pada 2018 Antam sudah menggandeng KPK dalam menyelenggarakan kegiatan sosialisasi untuk internal per-usahaan. Kerja sama ini merupakan wujud tindak lanjut dari penandatanganan Komitmen Pencegahan Terintegrasi yang dilakukan antara Perusahaan dengan KPK pada tahun 2017.

Direktur Riset Center of Reform on Economics (CORE) Indonesia, Piter Abdullah mengatakan, saat ini perusahaan dituntut untuk melakukan GCG dengan baik.

“Sebab itu, Antam menjadi perusahaan terbuka yang menerapkan tata kelola GCG. Dalam menjalankan praktik bisnisnya harus ada prinsip keterbukaan, akuntabilitas, di-percaya dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan,” katanya.

Ia melanjutkan, GCG itu sendiri kan ada indikator-indikatornya antara lain trans-paransi, akuntabilitas, dipercaya, dan bisa dipertanggungjawabkan ke publik. Per-usahaan publik seperti Antam harus meng-ikuti semua.

“Apa yang dilakukan Antam terkait anti-gratifikasi dan antipenyuapan sudah bagus. Karena perusahaan publik memang harus begitu,” tutupnya. Editor : Imam Suhartadi

RI Has Battery Raw Material

RI Punya Pabrik Bahan Baku

Baterai, Tapi Produknya Diekspor

Anisatul Umah, CNBC Indonesia

INDONESIA setidaknya punya enam

proyek pembangunan fasilitas pengolahan dan pemurnian (smelter) nikel dengan teknologi High Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL). Diperkirakan,…


It is estimated that the investment for these six HPAL projects will reach US$ 6.25 billion or around Rp. 91 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp. 14,500 per US$).

This product from the HPAL smelter is the basic raw material for electric vehicle batteries, such as Mix Sulphide Precipitate (MSP) or Mix Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP).

Of the six HPAL projects, one of them has been operating, namely PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, a subsidiary of the Harita Group. Located on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku, this HPAL has been operating since it was inaugurated by the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan on Wednesday, June 23, 2021.

Based on data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the production target of HPAL on Obi Island is around 246 thousand tons of NiSO4 per year and around 32 thousand tons of CoSO4 per year with an estimated nickel ore requirement of around 8.3 million tons per year.

But unfortunately, the product from the HPAL smelter cannot be absorbed domestically because there is no derivative plant capable of processing NiSO4 and CoSO4.

Director of Mineral Business Development at the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal (Ditjen Minerba) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Sugeng Mujiyanto, said that almost all of the production from this HPAL smelter is still exported, only a small amount of production can be absorbed domestically.

"Almost all products are exported, only a small part is further processed domestically ," he explained to CNBC Indonesia.

Diperkirakan, investasi keenam proyek HPAL ini mencapai US$ US$ 6,25 miliar

atau sekitar Rp 91 triliun (asumsi kurs Rp 14.500 per US$).

Produk dari smelter HPAL ini merupakan

bahan baku dasar baterai kendaraan listrik, seperti Mix Sulphide Precipitate

(MSP) atau Mix Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP).

Dari enam proyek HPAL tersebut, satu

diantaranya telah beroperasi, yakni milik PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, anak usaha

Harita Group. Berlokasi di Pulau Obi, Halmahera Selatan, Maluku Utara, HPAL ini

telah beroperasi sejak diresmikan Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman dan

Investasi Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan pada Rabu, 23 Juni 2021 lalu.

Berdasarkan data Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM), target

produksi dari HPAL di Pulau Obi ini yaitu sekitar 246 ribu ton per tahun NiSO4 dan

sekitar 32 ribu ton per tahun CoSO4 dengan perkiraan kebutuhan bijih nikel

sekitar 8,3 juta ton per tahun.

Namun sayangnya, produk dari smelter HPAL ini belum bisa diserap dalam negeri

karena belum ada pabrik turunannya yang mampu mengolah NiSO4 dan CoSO4 ini.

Direktur Pembinaan Pengusahaan Mineral

Direktorat Jenderal Mineral dan Batu Bara (Ditjen Minerba) Kementerian ESDM

Sugeng Mujiyanto mengatakan, hampir semua produksi dari smelter HPAL ini

masih diekspor, hanya sedikit produksi yang bisa diserap di dalam negeri.

"Hampir semua produk diekspor, hanya sebagian kecil yang diolah lebih lanjut di

dalam negeri," paparnya kepada CNBC Indonesia.


He also regretted that the HPAL smelter production was still being exported. According to him, this product should be absorbed domestically, so that down-streaming can develop into a product that has even higher added value.

"What needs to be said is that the smelter product should be processed domestically, so that downstreaming and added value can be meaningful and real," he said.

However, according to him, the authority lies with the Ministry of Industry. "But this is the authority of Industry," he continued.

For the other five HPAL smelter projects, according to him, it is targeted to be operational by 2023. "Some have been completed, but are constrained by costs," he said.

Previously, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan inaugurated the HPAL smelter production operation on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku, Wednesday (23/06/2021).

The HPAL smelter is operated by PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) and is estimated to cost more than US$ 1 billion or around Rp. 14.4 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp. 14,400 per US$).

Luhut said that the processing technology for nickel ore could be through the RKEF (pyrometallurgy) and HPAL (hydro-metallurgical) routes like the one on Obi Island.

This nickel smelter project with HPAL technology will utilize a lot of lower grade nickel ore (nickel limonite), which is very abundant in Indonesia. This is part of optimizing or increasing the added value of mineral resources owned by Indonesia.

Dia pun menyayangkan produksi smelter HPAL ini masih diekspor. Menurutnya, produk ini mestinya bisa diserap di dalam negeri, sehingga hilirisasi ini bisa ber-kembang menjadi produk yang semakin bernilai tambah lebih tinggi lagi.

"Nah yang perlu disuarakan adalah produk smelter tersebut seharusnya diolah di dalam negeri, sehingga hilirisasi dan nilai tambah menjadi bermakna dan nyata," tegasnya.

Akan tetapi, kewenangan tersebut me-nurutnya berada pada Kementerian Perindustrian. "Namun ini kewenangan Perindustrian," lanjutnya.

Untuk kelima proyek smelter HPAL lain-nya, menurutnya ditargetkan bisa ber-operasi paling telat pada 2023. "Ada yang sudah selesai, namun terkendala biaya," ujarnya.

Sebelumnya, Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman dan Investasi Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan meresmikan operasi produksi smelter HPAL di Pulau Obi, Halmahera Selatan, Maluku Utara, Rabu (23/06/2021).

Smelter HPAL ini dioperasikan oleh PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) dan diperkirakan memakan biaya mencapai lebih dari US$ 1 miliar atau sekitar Rp 14,4 triliun (asumsi kurs Rp 14.400 per US$).

Luhut mengatakan bahwa teknologi pengolahan untuk bijih nikel bisa melalui jalur RKEF (pirometalurgi) maupun HPAL (hidrometalurgi) seperti yang ada di Pulau Obi ini.

Proyek smelter nikel dengan teknologi HPAL ini akan banyak memanfaatkan bijih nikel dengan kadar yang lebih rendah (nikel limonit), yang jumlahnya sangat melimpah di Indonesia. Ini merupakan bagian dari optimasi atau peningkatan nilai tambah dari sumber daya mineral yang dimiliki Indonesia.


The HPAL process can produce first-class nickel products, namely Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) with its derivatives in the form of nickel sulfate (NiSO4) and cobalt sulfate (CoSO4) which can be used as raw materials for batteries.

These products have a higher added value compared to products produced from the Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) line.

"Indonesia has sufficient resources and reserves of nickel and cobalt, supported by other minerals such as copper, aluminum, and tin which will become a big capital to play in the electric vehicle industry," Luhut explained, as quoted from the Ministry's official statement, Wednesday (23/06/ 2021).

PT Halmahera Persada Lygend is a subsidiary of Harita Group. Harita said the HPAL smelter has an MHP production capacity of 365 thousand tons per year and is the basic raw material for electric vehicle batteries.

The product is in the form of MHP, which is a mixture of hydroxide solids from nickel and cobalt. MHP is an intermediate product of the processing and refining of low grade nickel before further processing into nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate. Currently Harita is also developing advanced production facilities to produce nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate, which are the main materials for electric vehicle batteries.

"Halmahera Persada Lygend is a low grade nickel ore (limonite) processing and refining facility with hydrometallurgical technology known as HPAL. Construction of HPAL started in August 2018 and is ready for commercial production. This is the first HPAL factory in Indonesia," explained Stevi Thomas as Commissioner Utama Halmahera Persada Lygend, as quoted from the company's official statement, Thursday (24/06/2021).

Proses HPAL dapat menghasilkan produk nikel kelas satu, yakni Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) dengan turunannya berupa nikel sulfat (NiSO4) dan cobalt sulfat (CoSO4) yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku baterai.

Produk-produk ini bernilai tambah lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan produk yang dihasilkan dari jalur tungku elektrik atau Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF).

"Indonesia memiliki sumber daya dan cadangan nikel serta cobalt yang cukup, didukung oleh mineral lain seperti tembaga, alumunium, dan timah yang akan menjadi modal besar untuk bermain dalam industri kendaraan listrik," jelas Luhut, seperti dikutip dari keterangan resmi Kementerian, Rabu (23/06/2021).

PT Halmahera Persada Lygend merupakan anak usaha Harita Group. Harita mengata-kan, smelter HPAL ini memiliki kapasitas produksi MHP sebesar 365 ribu ton per tahun dan merupakan bahan baku dasar baterai kendaraan listrik.

Adapun produknya berupa MHP yaitu campuran padatan hidroksida dari nikel dan cobalt. MHP merupakan produk antara dari proses pengolahan dan pemurnian nikel kadar rendah sebelum diproses lebih lanjut menjadi nikel sulfat dan kobalt sulfat. Saat ini Harita juga sedang mengembangkan fasil itas produksi lanjutan untuk menghasilkan nikel sulfat dan kobalt sulfat, yang merupakan material utama baterai kendaraan listrik.

"Halmahera Persada Lygend merupakan fasilitas pengolahan dan pemurnian bijih nikel kadar rendah (limonit) dengan teknologi hidrometalurgi yang dikenal dengan HPAL. Konstruksi HPAL dimulai pada Agustus 2018 dan siap berproduksi secara komersial. Ini menjadi pabrik HPAL pertama di Indonesia," jelas Stevi Thomas selaku Komisaris Utama Halmahera Persada Lygend, seperti dikutip dari keterangan resmi perusahaan, Kamis (24/06/2021).


Currently, according to him, Harita is also developing advanced production facilities to produce nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate, which are the main materials for electric vehicle batteries.

Harita Group is the manager of the Obi Island Industrial Estate which is part of the National Strategic Project (PSN) set by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2020 concerning Amendments to Presidential Regulation No. 3 of 2016 concerning Acceleration of National Strategic Projects.

Steps to Make the Mining Industry More Environmentally

Friendly Author: Edo Fernando, Editor: Ocky PR.

THE DEMAND to make the mining

industry more environmentally friendly must be fulfilled by all mining companies. Despite using modern and sophisticated technology, mining still uses a lot of resources ranging from water, soil, carbon and energy. The impact is still there and inevitable on the surrounding environ-ment.

Impacts that are not handled properly, can drag on for decades after a mining activity has stopped. Therefore, there must be appropriate control measures, in order to make mining activities more environ-mentally friendly.

Closing Illegal Mines

In the context of enforcing applicable laws and regulations regarding mining behavior and activities, the closure of illegal mining activities will indirectly provide a good precedent for the mining industry.

Currently, in Indonesia, the government is assisted by the active participation of the community in eradicating a number of illegal mining, so it is hoped that a more environmentally friendly mining industry will be created.

Mine Material Recycling

On a global scale, mining companies around the world are finding efficient ways to make full use of materials to meet the needs of society by using less wood, metal, stone, plastic and other materials.

Langkah Jadikan Industri Pertambangan Lebih Ramah

Lingkungan Penulis: Edo Fernando, Editor: Ocky PR.

TUNTUTAN untuk menjadikan industri pertambangan menjadi lebih ramah lingkungan harus bisa dituntaskan oleh segenap perusahaan tambang. Meskipun telah menggunakan tekno-logi yang modern dan canggih, pertambangan masih menggunakan banyak sekali sumber daya mulai dari air, tanah, karbon dan energi. Dampaknya masih tetap ada dan tidak ter-elakkan terhadap lingkungan sekitar.

Dampak yang tidak tertangani dengan baik ini, bisa berlarut sampai beberapa dekade setelah sebuah kegiatan tambang telah berhenti. Oleh karenanya, harus ada langkah-langkah pengen-dalian yang tepat, untuk bisa menjadikan kegiatan pertambangan yang dilakukan lebih ramah lingkungan.

Menutup Tambang Ilegal

Dalam konteks penegakkan aturan dan undang-undang yang berlaku mengenai perilaku dan kegiatan pertambangan, penutupan aktivitas pertambangan ilegal akan memberikan preseden yang baik terhadap industri tambang secara tidak langsung.

Saat ini di Indonesia sendiri pemerintah dibantu dengan peran serta masyarakat terus aktif dalam memberantas sejumlah tambang ilegal, sehingga diharapkan tercipta industri tambang yang lebih ramah lingkungan.

Daur Ulang Bahan Tambang

Pada skala global, perusahaan pertambangan di seluruh dunia menemukan cara yang efisien untuk memanfaatkan sepenuhnya bahan untuk menyediakan kebutuhan masyarakat dengan menggunakan lebih sedikit kayu, logam, batu, plastik dan bahan lainnya.


By reducing the amount of wasteful use, and redirecting production to durable

goods that can be reused, reproduced, or recycled, the mining industry can begin to

reduce its impact.

Proper Licensing and Regulation

Regulations and permits regarding mining

may vary from country to country. For example, the Canadian government was

able to provide proper regulation and control when closing a copper mine on

Vancouver Island in 1995. So that in the process of closing it is able to protect the

remaining resources. This kind of regulation will not only protect the

environment and public health, but also increase the lifespan of the mining industry

itself.

Mining Waste Management

Report Another issue that continues to

cause debate is the issue of reporting toxic mining waste. Mining companies are

considered to still have not accurately reported the amount of waste disposed of.

So on paper, mining companies may have a good record in terms of waste manage-

ment, but the facts on the ground some-times show otherwise.

Invest In Technology The mining industry is one industry that always needs the right

research and development (Research and Development) to ensure that the industry

is able to change for sustainability and turn the world into a more environmentally

friendly place.

By allocating funds for research and

technology development, it can be one way to have a positive impact on the

environment before and after a mining project.

Dengan mengurangi jumlah penggunaan yang boros, dan mengarahkan produksi ke barang yang tahan lama yang bisa digunakan kembali, diproduksi ulang, atau didaur ulang, industri pertambangan bisa mulai mengurangi dampak yang ditimbulkan.

Perizinan dan Regulasi yang Tepat

Peraturan dan perizinan mengenai pertam-bangan bisa berbeda di tiap-tiap negara. Contohnya seperti yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Kanada, yang mampu menghadir-kan regulasi serta kontrol yang tepat saat melakukan penutupan tambang tembaga di Pulau Vancouver pada tahun 1995 silam. Sehingga dalam proses penutupan itu mampu melindungi sejumlah sumber daya yang tersisa. Peraturan semacam inilah yang tidak hanya akan melindungi lingkungan dan kesehatan masyarakat, tetapi juga meningkatkan umur industri pertambangan itu sendiri.

Laporan Pengelolaan Limbah Pertambangan

Masalah lainnya yang terus menimbulkan perdebatan adalah soal pelaporan limbah pertambangan yang beracun. Perusahaan pertambangan dinilai masih belum secara akurat melaporkan jumlah limbah yang dibuang. Jadi di atas kertas mungkin perusahaan tambang memiliki catatan yang baik dalam masalah pengelolaan limbah, namun fakta di lapangan terkadang menunjukkan hal yang sebaliknya.

Berinvestasi Pada Teknologi

Industri pertambangan ad alah salah satu industri yang selalu membutuhkan penelitian dan pengembangan (Research and Develop-ment) yang tepat untuk bisa memastikan bahwa industri mampu berubah untuk keberlanjutan dan mengubah dunia menjadi tempat yang lebih ramah lingkungan.

Dengan mengalokasikan dana yang dimiliki untuk penelitian dan pengembangan teknologi itu, bisa menjadi salah satu cara untuk memberikan dampak yang positif terhadap lingkungan sebelum dan sesudah proyek pertambangan.


Environmental Conservation

An activity that seems simple but is rarely

prioritized, re-preserving the mining

environment is one of the key factors to

not only gain the trust of the wider

community, especially those living around

mining areas, but in the end will also

protect the environment against the

impacts of mining.

Simple solutions such as replenishing

native soil and grass, cleaning up excess

waste and proper disposal, site inspections

and tree replanting can promote long-term

ecosystem restoration and preserve the

environment for years after the mine is no

longer operational.

Pelestarian Kembali Lingkungan

Aktivitas yang tampaknya sederhana namun jarang diprioritaskan, melakukan pelestarian kembali lingkungan tambang adalah salah satu faktor kunci untuk tidak hanya men-dapatkan kepercayaan masyarakat luas, khususnya mereka yang tinggal di sekitar kawasan pertambangan, tetapi pada akhir-nya juga akan melindungi lingkungan ter-hadap dampak pertambangan.

Solusi sederhana seperti mengisi kembali tanah dan rerumputan asli, membersihkan limbah berlebih dan pembuangan yang tepat, inspeksi lokasi dan penanaman kembali pohon bisa meremajakan perbaikan eko-sistem jangka panjang dan mempertahankan lingkungan selama bertahun-tahun setelah tambang tidak lagi beroperasi.

Extraordinary! Coal Prices Soar

Again, Another Record Hidayat Setiaji, CNBC Indonesia

EXTRAORDINARY! That's a predicate that

deserves to be pinned for coal. The price of this commodity continues to soar to touch

the latest record.

Yesterday, the price of coal on the ICE Newcastle (Australia) market was

recorded at US$ 137.75/ton. It's up 3.75% over the previous day and is at its highest

since at least 2008.

The new price of coal underwent a

seemingly endless rally. In the past week, prices jumped 10.39% on a point-to-point

basis. Over the past month, the increase has reached 22.6%. Extraordinary...

Luar Biasa! Harga Batu Bara

LUAR BIASA! Itu predikat yang pantas

disematkan untuk batu bara. Harga komoditas ini terus melambung hingga

menyentuh rekor terbaru.

Kemarin, harga batu bara di pasar ICE Newcastle (Australia) tercatat US$

137,75/ton. Melonjak 3,75% dibandingkan hari sebelumnya dan berada di titik

tertinggi setidaknya sejak 2008.

Harga baru bara menjalani reli yang seolah

tanpa henti. Dalam sepekan terakhir, harga melonjak 10,39% secara point-to-point.

Selama sebulan ke belakang, kenaikannya mencapai 22,6%. Luar biasa...


It turns out that now is the turn of the soaring demand for coal in Europe. The European Energy Exchange noted that electricity generation by coal plants in Germany rose 5% last week compared to the previous week to 4,318 MWh. Compared to the same period the previous year, there was even a 99% jump!

In May 2021, Refinitiv reported Germany's coal imports were 1.02 million tonnes. Up 47.86% over the previous month and 92.31% from the same period in 2020.

The increase in electricity demand cannot be separated from the stretching of the Panzer Country's manufacturing sector. IHS Markit announced that German manufacturing activity as measured by the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) was at 65.1 in June 2021. Up from the previous month's position of 64.4.

The increase in the manufacturing PMI was driven by an increase in production (output), especially semi-finished goods. The business world boosted production to meet rapidly increasing demand.

New orders also grew positively. As a result, more jobs are created because of the need to increase production. Last month, job creation growth was the highest since January 2018. CNBC

INDONESIA RESEARCH TEAM (aji/aji)

Ternyata sekarang giliran permintaan batu bara yang melonjak di Eropa. European Energy Exchange mencatat pembangkitan listrik oleh pembangkit batu bara di Jerman naik 5% pada minggu lalu dibandingkan pekan sebelumnya menjadi 4.318 MWh. Dibandingkan dengan periode yang sama tahun sebelumnya, bahkan terjadi lonjakan 99%!

Pada Mei 2021, Refinitiv melaporkan impor batu bara Jerman adalah 1,02 juta ton. Melesat 47,86% dibandingkan bulan sebelumnya dan 92,31% dari periode yang sama pada 2020.

Peningkatan permintaan listrik tidak lepas dari geliat sektor manufaktur Negeri Panser. IHS Markit mengumumkan aktivitas manu-faktur Jerman yang diukur oleh Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) berada di 65,1 pada Juni 2021. Naik dari posisi bulan sebelum-nya yang sebesar 64,4.

Kenaikan PMI manufaktur ini didorong oleh peningkatan produksi (output), terutama barang setengah jadi. Dunia usaha meng-genjot produksi untuk memenuhi per-mintaan yang meningkat pesat.

Permintaan baru (new orders) juga tumbuh positif. Hasilnya, lapangan kerja semakin tercipta karena kebutuhan untuk mening-katkan produksi. Bulan lalu, pertumbuhan penciptaan lapangan kerja menjadi yang tertinggi sejak Januari 2018. TIM RISET CNBC INDONESIA (aji/aji)

Indonesia sets coal benchmark price at highest in a decade on Chinese demand

Reuters

INDONESIA set its coal benchmark price at the highest in more than a decade, an official

document published by its energy and minerals ministry showed on Monday, supported by sustained demand from China.

https://www.mining.com/external-author?author=Reuters


The ministry set the benchmark coal price at $115.35 per tonne in July, higher than the $100.33 per tonne in June and the highest since $117.6 per tonne in May, 2011, Refinitiv data showed.

“China’s domestic coal supply capacity continues to run low while power generation activities resume,” energy and mineral resources ministry spokesman Agung Pribad said in a statement, adding demand also increased from Japan and South Korea.

“This has an impact on the increase in global coal prices,” he said.

China unofficially banned imports from its top supplier Australia last year, with Chinese buyers informally told by custom officials not to purchase Australian coal.

This has resulted in China looking elsewhere to source coal, making Indonesia’s one of the biggest beneficiaries.

China signed a deal worth around $1.5 billion to buy Indonesian thermal coal last year. (By Bernadete Christina Munthe and Fathin Ungku; Editing by Martin Petty and Ed Davies)

Iron ore price jumps as Tangshan mills resume production MINING.COM Staff Writer

IRON ore prices jumped on Monday, fuelled by rising demand as mills in steel hub Tangshan

resumed production after China’s centenary.

Steel output at some producers was restricted due to the Communist Party’s 100th anniversary and environmental-related policies, sending down utilisation rates of blast furnaces at 247 mills across China to 81.01% as of July 2 from a week earlier, according to Mysteel consultancy.

“As Tangshan resumed production, short-term demand will return to pre-centenary level,” analysts at SinoSteel Futures wrote in a note, adding that overall demand was still weakened by steel cut policies.

The most-traded iron ore futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, for September delivery, soared as much as 5.6% to 1,226 yuan ($189.80) per tonne, the highest level since June 11. They closed up 5.5% at 1,225 yuan.

According to Fastmarkets MB, benchmark 62% Fe fines imported into Northern China were changing hands for $221.82 a tonne on Monday, up 1.8% from Friday’s closing.

Steel supply is facing increasing pressure recently as some areas have stepped up output-cut plans while some mills are facing losses, analysts at Haitong Futures said in a note.

“However, current demand is obviously at off-peak season… (we) expect steel prices will remain range-bound fluctuations,” they added. (With files from Reuters)

Pensana kickstarts development of the world's first Freeport rare earth processing hub

By Vladimir Basov

PENSANA announced Monday that following the recent £15 million premium equity raise, early-stage development has commenced on the establishment of its rare earth processing hub at the Saltend Chemicals Park in Humber, UK.

The company said that the Saltend plant would be the first major rare earth separation facility to be constructed in over a decade and the first to be located in a Freeport.

Pensana said it is aiming to establish Saltend as an attractive alternative to mining houses who may otherwise be limited to selling their products to China, having designed the facility to be easily adapted to cater for a range of rare earth feedstocks.

Additionally, the company said it is working closely with contractors and government officials to progress the Longonjo rare earth mining project in Angola while strictly adhering to travel restrictions arising from the global pandemic.

Pensana noted that the Longonjo project’s workstreams underway include, among others, an ongoing involvement of vendors in the preparations for procurement of long lead items including key kiln, acid plant and comminution equipment, and procurement activities towards establishment of the construction camp.

Pensana said it plans to establish Saltend as an independent, sustainable supplier of the key magnet metal oxides to a market which is currently dominated by China. The US$125 million Saltend facility is being designed to produce circa 12,500 tonnes per annum of rare earth oxides, of which 4,500 tonnes will be neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr), representing around 5% of the world market in 2025. Initial feedstock will be shipped as a clean, high purity mixed rare earth sulphate from the company’s Longonjo rare earth mine in Angola.

Ramelius Resources rises from challenging month Nickolas Zakharia

RAMELIUS Resources has achieved record gold production for the 2021 financial year

despite bearing the brunt of haulage impacts, worker shortages and COVID-19 travel bans in June.

The company produced a record 272,109 ounces for the 2021 financial year, which is at the midpoint of its original 260,000-270,000-ounce guidance.

https://www.kitco.com/contributors/VladimirBasov/

https://www.australianmining.com.au/author/nickolas-zakharia/


Ramelius’ latest guidance for the 2021 financial year is between 275,000 to 280,000 ounces, which the company narrowly missed following a below guidance June quarter.

The company’s June 2021 quarter performance was below the guidance range of 65,000 to

70,000 ounces at 61,840 ounces of gold.

This included 35,208 ounces at the Mt Magnet gold mine and 26,632 ounces from the Edna May gold mine in Western Australia.

According to Ramelius, there were multiple impacts that prevented the company from performing at its full potential in June.

“In particular, numerous rainfall events in the region reduced haulage volumes from the

Marda operation, periodic personnel shortages impacted production from the Edna May underground operation, and the COVID-19 related lockdown at the end of the month limited

the company’s ability to over-achieve late in the quarter,” Ramelius stated.

According to Ramelius managing director Mark Zeptner, the company’s Tampia gold mine has offset the June impacts.

“In terms of rainfall impacts, the recent commencement of the Tampia gold mine, gives us an alternate ore source that is essentially on sealed bitumen route meaning it is less impacted by

rain and we can switch haulage operations when required,” he said.

The company commenced ore haulage from the Tampia gold mine to the Edna May processing facility on July 1.

In June, the company started ore mining at Tampia for the first time since it acquired the

project in 2019.

Ramelius stated the haul route to Tampia is sealed and does not face the same impacts from

rainfall as the Marda route near Edna May.

According to Ramelius, the company’s full year all in sustaining cost (AISC) will remain within its latest guidance of $1280 to $1330 per ounce of gold produced.

Zeptner said Ramelius’ production has increased by 18 per cent from the 2020 financial year.

“The record result was achieved through continued solid production at Edna May and with an outstanding year from Mt Magnet,” he said.

“New projects such as Greenfinch and Marda (both feeding into Edna May) contributed

significantly in the 2021 financial year.

“The result continues the Ramelius growth story and provides an excellent foundation for the 2022 financial year and beyond, with an experienced management team and strong balance

sheet in place.”

India makes its first coal export to Bangladesh’s Rampal power plant By: FE Bureau

INDIA has sent its first export consignment of coal to Bangladesh, after Coal India’s (CIL)

policy amendment last month allowing traders, lifting coal from e-auction, to export. The first coal-laden rake left for Bangladesh on July 2 and the coal send was of below 2,200 gross calorific value (GCV), meant for the 1,320 MW Rampal thermal power station, an NTPC and Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) JV, at Khulna in Bangladesh.

Although CIL couldn’t disclose the name of the exporter or the FOB (free on board) price at which the coal was exported because of its non-disclosure agreement with the e-auction conductor (mjunction), it said the coal exported was purchased under spot e-auction from Dahibari siding of Bharat Coking Coal.

Bangladesh bound coal left the Indian shore from Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port (SMP) erstwhile Kolkata Port Trust on July 3 and would be unloaded at the Mongala Port in Bangladesh from where it would be sent to Rampal’s captive jetty, an SMP official said.

While mjunction too denied commenting anything on the purchaser or the prices, sources involved with the Rampal project told Fe that Godavari Commodities were the exporter.

However, a CIL executive said the development took place in less than a month of CIL tweaking its e-auction coal sale policy and the first coal-laden rake consisting of around 4000 tonne left for Bangladesh.

According to an NTPC official, the centre allowing exports of Indian coal will benefit the Indian power companies executing thermal projects overseas the most since such projects will have to depend less on other coal exporting countries like Indonesia and South Africa, whose prices generally remain volatile.

“Though the first Indian coal export was in small quantity, we expect that CIL would gradually offer larger volumes for export,” the NTPC official said adding, the Rampal project would look for 20,000 tonne of Indian coal a month once the plant starts operation in full capacity.

CIL said the amended e-auction sale policy, allows the overseas sale of coal bought under spot e-auction and special spot e-auction by domestic coal purchasers only which also includes the domestic traders.

“Though small in quantity, what is encouraging is that a beginning has been made. We look forward to more exports that would help in improved coal sales under the two categories of the auction platform,” a senior CIL executive said.

SMP chairman Vinit Kumar said Bangladesh has already declared Kolkata as a hub for coal and inland waterways would also be used for transporting coal to Bangladesh with incentives offered for such transportation.

For the quarter to June this fiscal, CIL has allocated 6.7 million tonnes (MTs) of coal under spot e-auction which is nearly one-fourth of the entire booked quantity of 27.3 MTs. The auction fetched the PSU miner a 30% add-on over the notified price against a 16% add-on fetched under spot e-auction during the same period last fiscal.
