China NPI Output In September And Forecast For October

One of the core objectives of the Indonesia-Philippines nickel corridor is to better connect Philippine ore resources with Indonesia’s downstream processing capacity. The report said the arrangement could strengthen feedstock security for Indonesia’s expanding HPAL and refining system, while giving the Philippines a faster route to benefit from higher-value regional exports through Indonesia’s processing hub. The initiative is also seen as a signal that Southeast Asia is seeking stronger bargaining power in the global nickel and EV battery supply chain.

Indonesia and the Philippines have formally launched a “nickel corridor” initiative during a high-level business roundtable in Cebu. The report said the cooperation is being advanced by APNI and PNIA and will focus on data sharing, cross-border investment, and ESG alignment, with the aim of moving both countries beyond raw material exports toward a more coordinated regional nickel supply chain.

A Western Mines Group informou que o furo MTD031 no Projeto Mulga Tank também retornou várias interseções de níquel de teor mais elevado, incluindo 6 m a 1,02% de níquel a partir de 259 m e 8 m a 0,81% de níquel a partir de 298 m. Esses intervalos também estavam associados a valores elevados de cobalto, cobre e platina-paládio. Os resultados sugerem que zonas enriquecidas mais profundas podem permanecer abertas e poderiam sustentar uma maior delimitação de mineralização de teor mais elevado.
