Nickel Ore

Premium saprolite and limonite nickel ore, sourced from Sulawesi and Kalimantan mines for Indonesian smelters.

CV Indoalam Mineral Persada supplies high-grade nickel ore directly from our mining concessions across Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Maluku. Our ore is suitable for nickel pig iron (NPI) and ferronickel smelting operations.

Nickel Ore Types

Saprolite Ore

Ni 1.5% - 2.0%

High-grade saprolite ore ideal for RKEF (Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace) smelting to produce nickel pig iron and ferronickel.

Limonite Ore

Ni 0.8% - 1.2%

Iron-rich limonite ore suitable for HPAL (High Pressure Acid Leaching) processes to produce mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) for battery-grade nickel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of nickel ore are available?
We supply two main types: Saprolite (Ni 1.5%-2.0%, low iron) ideal for RKEF smelters, and Limonite (Ni 0.8%-1.2%, high iron) suitable for HPAL and ferronickel production.
Where is the nickel ore sourced from?
Our nickel ore is sourced from Sulawesi (Morowali, Konawe), Kalimantan, and Maluku (Halmahera) — Indonesia's primary nickel-producing regions.
Can nickel ore be exported from Indonesia?
Indonesia enforces a raw nickel ore export ban. Our nickel ore is intended for domestic smelters for processing into NPI, ferronickel, or other downstream products.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for nickel ore?
Our MOQ for nickel ore starts at 25,000 MT per shipment, depending on the type and grade requested. Please contact us for a specific quotation.
