Indonesian state-controlled miner PT Aneka Tambang (Antam) is planning to acquire a smelter owned by a subsidiary of Chinese stainless steel giant Tsingshan Holding Group.
The plan would be part of the company’s non-organic growth strategy.
The company is currently expanding its downstream operation, which will help support the Indonesian government’s ambition to develop a battery production industry.
Separately, it is also preparing to launch construction of two nickel plants under its partnership with China’s Ningbo Contemporary Brunp Lygend Ltd (CBL).
