TPN Ganjar Wanti-wanti Nickel Kadar Tinggi Only Lasts 5 Years

JAKARTA - The Ganjar-Mahfud National Winning Team (TPN) revealed that nickel ore with high or small levels only lasts five years from now.

Therefore, the Ganjar camp is worried that the large number of smelters will run out the supply of nickel ore.

Initially, Deputy Secretary of the Ganjar-Mahfud National Winning Team, Hotasi Nababan, said nickel ore itself was divided into two nickel high levels of 1.7 percent (sapprolytes) and low levels below 1.7 percent (limonics).

He added that this type of sporite nickel was processed to become stainless steel, steel and others.

But unfortunately, the supply of available nickel reserves is only sufficient for the next 5-6 years.

"This is news of bad news skills used by stainless steel, steel and all kinds of things, it turns out to be only a few, only 5-6 years out," he said at the event Dilema Downstream Mining: Limited or Expanded? in Jakarta, Thursday, January 25.

However, continued Hotasi, there is still good news where the lifespan of nickel limousines is still quite long.

He said, the domestic reserves were still sufficient until the next 20 to 30 years.

"Limonics with small levels, which are used for batteries can still be 20-30 years old that s the good news," he said.

Even so, Hotasi said the current problem is that Indonesia has not built a steel industry amid the thin supply of nickel saprolyte.

"Our Bad news, we haven't had time to build steel institutes, stainless only 5-6 years will run out," he explained.
