Solway Group holds numerous developed nickel and cobalt deposits in Indonesia, located mainly in Sulawesi Island. The current project in development - PT Aquila Cobalt Nickel, located in Morowali, Central Sulawesi, will unlock the potential of these rich nickel and cobalt ore reserves.

In support of the Indonesian Government's plan to establish Indonesia as a world center of EV manufacturing, Solway Group's long-term strategy in Indonesia includes the potential development of processing facilities for nickel intermediates such as nickel matte and MHP to produce battery-grade materials.

Solway Group continues. undertaking site works for Aquila Nickel Project Phase 1 - RKEF operation in Morowali, Central Sulawesi. With a target to commence production in 2024/2025, total output reaching almost 27 000 tons of matte annually. Phase 2 of the project, an HPAL expansion to process limonite ore, is undergoing in-house evaluation and preparation.

Location RDTX Tower – Mega Kuningan, Jakarta Selatan

 

Overview

The Aquila Project focuses on nickel ore processing using RKEF, which is technologically similar to Solway’s assets in Guatemala and Ukraine.

The project will source nickel ore from the Groups own mines located in Sulawesi: Bahomoahi (PT Sulawesi Resources), Sorawolio (PT Bumi Inti Sulawesi), and Asera (PT Bumi Konawe Minerina). Comprehensive geological resources for the project are estimated to exceed 50 mln wmt of saprolite material for pyrometallurgical processing and 40 mln wmt of limonite material suitable for hydrometallurgical processing.

The Group forecasts that Aquila Project capacity will reach up to 40 ktons of nickel in Matte and MHP form on Sulawesi Island.

An in-house pre-feasibility study on HPAL located at the Aquila project site (PT Sulawesi Resources/Bahomoahi mine) is underway. The limonite material has been successfully tested at SGS Labs (Canada), achieving over 95% nickel recovery.
