Chinese nickel company promises to hire 5,000 locals amid backlash Norman Harsono and Andi Hajramurni | The Jakarta Post

CHINESE-backed mining company PT Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry (VDNI) has promised to hire 5,000 locals amid protests over the employment of 500 Chinese workers for nickel smelter projects in Konawe regency, Southeast Sulawesi. VDNI signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the matter with the Konawe administration on Wednesday. The company agreed to absorb the workforce while the administration agreed to headhunt workers, who will start working once the smelter installation was finished. “We are committed to employing local workers. But recruitment will be done in stages, as needed,” VDNI spokesman Indrayanto told The Jakarta Post from nickel-rich Southeast Sulawesi on Thursday. He said the company would hire 2,500 local workers in the first phase. These workers would become smelter operators, which were priority positions that VDNI needed filled. Indrayanto did not detail the successive phases. Indrayanto also said the company had brought in 261 out of the 500 Chinese workers as of Thursday. The remaining third batch was supposed to arrive last week but the arrival was delayed due to local protests. Virtue Dragon, which is developing Indonesia’s largest nickel smelter, plays a key role in realizing the central government’s ambition of transforming mineral-rich Indonesia from a commodity-driven economy to an industrial economy. The smelter, last valued at US$1.4 billion, is slated to produce 600,000 tons of nickel pig iron (NPI) each year once fully completed in 2021.

IMA-Daily Update Page 16

Indrayanto argued that the employment of Chinese workers was essential to install the smelter. While there had been a delay in the arrival of foreign workers, he was optimistic the project would still run on time, at the end of the year. “The development of the [smelter] is still ongoing but it will just be slower,” he said. In April, Southeast Sulawesi Governor Ali Mazi and the Southeast Sulawesi Legislative Council had refused entry to the foreign workers, supposedly due to concerns over COVID-19 transmission. Ali then turned around and green lighted the arrival amid the backlash. Manpower Minister Ida Fauziah previously stated in June that allowing foreign employment would eventually result in more jobs for local workers after they learned to use the technology used in the projects. With the sizeable investment for the project, the Office of the Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister has also stated that it would oversee the local worker recruitment process, says a spokesman. “With this deal, we hope all employment-related policy making and problem solving in the area can be handled faster and better,” Office of the Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister spokesman Jodi Mahardi said in a statement on Wednesday. Locals were seen up in arms near Haluoleo Kendari Airport in South Konawe on June 23 as the first batch of 152 Chinese workers landed. Protesters raised concerns over local unemployment rates, COVID-19 infections and the workers’ visa statuses, while also blaring religious and racially-charged statements. As of May 27, more than 1.79 million people have lost their jobs as many nonessential businesses shut down to comply with government restrictions, according to data from the Manpower Ministry. The government predicts up to 5.5 million workers could lose their jobs, while 4 million could fall below the poverty line.

Indonesia group seeks judicial review over new mining law By: Reuters

A GROUP made up of activists and regional officials submitted on Friday a request for a judicial review of Indonesia's mining law at the Constitutional Court, arguing there had been a failure of procedures before the law was approved by parliament in May.

IMA-Daily Update Page 24

The group, which includes the governor of Indonesia's main tin mining region Bangka Belitung province, believe the bill failed to comply with a number of law-making rules, their representatives said. Indonesia, a top global exporter of thermal coal, tin, nickel and copper, is seeking to boost investment in the country's mining sector by removing red tape and streamlining regulations through the new mining law. A judicial review was being requested because the public, regional governments and state- controlled companies had not been involved in deliberation of the bill, said Ahmad Redi, a lawyer representing the group. "This clearly violated the openness principle in the legislation process that should be transparent," Redi said in a statement. Fajar Laksono, a spokesman for the Constitutional Court, said the court had received the request and would need to check whether the request was in order before it could consider scheduling a hearing. Marwan Batubara, one of the plaintiffs, told Reuters the group is also planning to submit a second request for a judicial review that will focus on the content of the law. Under the new mining law, miners are allowed to extend permits and seek an expansion of mining areas beyond the previous legal limits. The changes have sparked opposition from transparency watchdogs and rights groups, and also concerns about the environmental impact of allowing larger mining areas as well as supervision issues associated with moving authority away from regional governments to the capital.

Thiess to bring autonomous drilling to Lake Vermont coal mine Posted by Daniel Gleeson

THIESS has been awarded a contract extension by Jellinbah Group to continue to provide mining services at its Lake Vermont coal mine in Queensland, Australia. The five-year extension will generate revenue of A$2.5 billion ($1.7 billion) for Thiess, CIMIC Group’s global mining services provider. It will also see the company provide a range of autonomous services at the mine, including the implementation of autonomous drilling and semi-autonomous dozer push, it said. When it comes to autonomous drilling, Thiess will most likely leverage the learnings from a phased 12-month autonomous drilling pilot project it carried out at MACH Energy’s majority- owned Mount Pleasant coal operation in the Hunter Valley of Australia, in collaboration with Caterpillar and WesTrac.

Japan to strengthen control over rare metal reserves MINING.COM Staff Writer

IN THE WAKE of supply disruptions of certain metals caused by the covid-19 pandemic, Japan has decided to launch a series of measures to address potential supply risks from geopolitical instability or future pandemics. A report by market consultancy firm Argos states that one of such measures implies ramping up government control over strategic reserves of 34 rare metals and increasing inventories of some strategically important metals such as cobalt. According to Argos, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry presented a proposal to the central government where it asks for the State to take full control of strategic rare metals reserves by setting target levels for stocks, as well as plans for procurement and the release of supplies from the reserve. The ministry also urged more flexibility in determining inventory levels for each rare metal, after taking into account their strategic importance, geopolitical risks and domestic demand. For national security considerations, the department asked the Shinzo Abe cabinet to keep inventory targets and actual stockpile levels secret.

“Japan has designated 34 ‘rare metals’ – including rare earths – as having the potential for stockpiling and currently holds reserves of seven — nickel, chrome, tungsten, cobalt, molybdenum, manganese and vanadium,” Argus report states. “The stocks can cover 60 days of the country’s consumption, after including non-obligatory privately-held stocks equivalent to 18 days of consumption. The strategic reserves are defined as being the property of state- owned agency Jogmec and are managed by the agency in its storage bases.” Besides managing its internal reserves, the Asian superpower has also been securing its external supply of rare earths. Back in June 2019, Japan Australia Rare Earths BV (JARE), a joint venture between state-owned Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp (JOGMEC) and Sojitz Corp., approved a generous financing package for Australia’s Lynas Corp (ASX: LYC), expanding the country’s control over the company’s rare earths output. The deal was signed amid China’s threats to use its market supply dominance as a weapon in the trade war with the United States. At its Mt Weld mine in Western Australia, Lynas produces neodymium and praseodymium, key ingredients in permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, energy-efficient consumer devices, and in the aerospace and defence industries.

Thermal coal imports at major ports decline 35% to 17.71 MT in April to June: IPA

THERMAL coal imports at India’s 12 major ports dropped 34.70 per cent to 17.71 million tonnes (MT) in the the first quarter of the current fiscal, according to the Indian Ports’ Association (IPA). Impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, coking coal imports too witnessed a decline 28.49 per cent to 10.69 MT in the quarter. These ports had handled 27.13 MT of thermal coal and 14.95 MT of coking coal in the April- June period of the previous financial year. The IPA, which maintains cargo data handled by these ports, in its latest report said “percentage variation from the previous year” in thermal coal and coking coal handling was 34.70 per cent and 28.49 per cent, respectively. Thermal coal is the mainstay of India’s energy programme as 70 per cent of power generation is dependent on the dry fuel, while coking coal is used mainly for steel making. India is the third-largest producer of coal after China and the US, and has 299 billion tonnes of resources and 123 billion tonnes of proven reserves, which may last for over 100 years. India has 12 major ports — Kandla, Mumbai, JNPT, Mormugao, New Mangalore, Cochin, Chennai, Kamarajar (Ennore), V O Chidambaranar, Visakhapatnam, Paradip and Kolkata (including Haldia) — that handle about 61 per cent of the country’s total cargo traffic. These 12 ports had handled 705 MT of cargo in the last financial year.

Cargo handled by the country’s major ports declined by 19.68 per cent to 141.92 MT in the first quarter of this fiscal. These 12 ports had together handled 176.69 MT of cargo during April-June period of 2018- 19. Ports like Chennai and Kamrajar saw their cargo volumes nosedive about 40 per cent during April-June, while Kolkata and JNPT suffered a drop of over 30 per cent. While Chennai port saw 39.91 per cent decline in cargo handling to 7.28 MT, Kamarajar (Ennore) port suffered a drop of 39.41 per cent to 5.16 MT in April-June, as per IPA data. Cargo handling at Cochin port slipped 33.78 per cent to 5.63 MT, while the same at JNPT declined 31.38 per cent to 12.09 MT. Kolkata port logged a fall of 27.26 per cent to 11.72 MT. Container trade was severely hit as it recorded a decline of 32.28 per cent in terms of TEU (twenty foot equivalent unit), while thermal coal handling declined by 34.70 per cent. Ratings agency Icra had earlier said that while all cargo segments are vulnerable, container segment is expected to be more adversely impacted. While general cargo throughput may witness 5-8 per cent contraction for the full year 2020- 21, the container segment may drop 12-15 per cent, it had said.
