Indonesia Sets 2025 Nickel Ore Mining Quota at Around 200 Million Metric Tons

MINING - JAKARTA. Indonesia has set a quota of around 200 million metric tons for nickel ore mining this year, a senior mining ministry official said on Friday, adding this could be cut if miners failed to comply with environmental and other rules.

"We have issued around 200 million tons. But if based on their performance evaluation, especially post-mining reclamation and environmental management (not meeting government requirements), we will cut," said Tri Winarno, director general of mineral and coal at the ministry.
