As highlighted by Mr. Fan, this marks the official staging of the 4th Indonesia Critical Minerals Conference & Expo. For years, SMM has maintained close collaboration with APNI to jointly launch this landmark gathering for Indonesia’s mineral industry. Committed to building a high-connected global platform linking Indonesia to the worldwide industrial landscape, the event empowers resource development through technological innovation, bridges upstream producers and downstream consumers, and drives effective alignment between industrial development and market opportunities.
Thanks to years of steady cultivation and upgrading, the 2026 edition has achieved a record-high scale. It gathered 3,500+ on-site attendees and 120+ industry speakers, featuring 5 dedicated forums that fully cover the entire industrial chain of nickel-cobalt new energy, coal, energy transition, aluminum and tin sectors.
The extensive participation of global institutions, enterprises, industry experts and industrial chain stakeholders fully reflects the rising international recognition and confidence in Indonesia’s critical minerals industrial ecosystem. A robust global critical minerals supply chain is inseparable from in-depth cross-border cooperation. Moving forward, the conference will continue to boost supply chain transparency and interconnection, gather elite industry insights via its professional platform, and further deepen global industrial collaboration across the critical minerals sector.

[SMM Cobalt-Lithium Morning Meeting Summary] Raw material price trends diverge; supply-demand support for battery materials varies in strength

This week, the battery industry chain showed divergent trends. Spot lithium ore was tight, but expectations of future supply growth weighed on prices. On October 12, the average spot price of lithium carbonate fell to 115,400 yuan/mt, down 6,950 yuan/mt in a single day. Futures declined with rising open interest, while social inventory continued to destock. Lithium hydroxide, cobalt salt, and nickel sulphate were under pressure, with cautious purchasing. Ternary cathode precursor, ternary cathode material, and LCO weakened along with raw materials. LFP orders were relatively strong, with high-quality production lines running near full capacity and finished product inventories declining. Iron phosphate operating rates were high, but resistance to price increases grew. Artificial graphite edged up, supported by costs and demand, while natural graphite operated at low levels. Separator was supported by NEV, energy storage, and export rush demand, with supply-demand conditions tight. Electrolyte rose due to lagged cost pass-through. Sodium-ion battery production and delivery were stable, while recycling-side inquiries recovered but transactions did not increase in volume. In news, CATL deepened cooperation with Seres. In the first three quarters, NEV production and sales both exceeded 12 million units. Export tax rebate policy adjustments and China-EU automotive trade consultations drew attention.
