Nickel ore shipment and NPI production in Konawe regency has recovered since Jun 15

SHANGHAI, Jun 19 (SMM) – Shipment of nickel ore at mines and production at nickel pig iron (NPI) mills in Konawe regency, south-east Sulawesi of Indonesia, has recovered since June 15 as the impact of floods waned, an SMM survey found on Wednesday June 19.

SMM learned that heavy rains and floods halted operation of eight submerged-arc furnaces at NPI plants in Konawe on June 13.

Logistics at NPI plants in Morowali were also disrupted but production continued. NPI producers and miners in other areas like South Sulawesi and Obi Island felt a limited impact from the flooding.

Indonesia is a major supplier of nickel ore and NPI to China, as well as the world's largest producer of stainless steel.

Exclusive: China's base metals output in October

China’s copper cathode output increased month on month in October, as there was basically no maintenance at smelters and as large-scale smelters maintained high production in Q4. Although domestic copper scrap was in short supply in October, smelters kept relatively ample stocks of blister copper. Furthermore, as the new secondary copper policy took effect from November 1, concerns over copper scrap supply were eased.
