Overview
Aquila Nickel Group is committed to developing world-class nickel processing operations in Sulawesi, utilizing the latest pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies. Our approach integrates sustainable practices and community empowerment as core pillars of long-term growth.
The Group secures its feedstock from wholly owned mine in Sulawesi : Bahomoahi (PT Sulawesi Resources), Sorawolio (PT Bumi Inti Sulawesi), and Asera (PT Bumi Konawe Minerina). Combined geological resources exceed 50 million wmt of saprolite ore for pyrometallurgical production and 40 million wmt of limonite ore suitable for hydrometallurgical processing.
At full capacity, the Aquila Project is forecast to deliver up to 40,000 tons of nickel annually in different product forms, produced directly on Sulawesi Island to support Indonesia’s downstream industrial energy.
