PT Stargate Pasific Resources — South Block Deposit
-
Stargate is located between the top two largest nickel smelters, Tsingshan Group and Virtue Dragon, giving Stargate competitive freight costs for shipping ore.
Stargate has established its reputation in nickel mining and has become the preferred supplier by each of its customers.
To satisfy and meet their demand, Stargate plans to double its current production and shipping capacity to 2.4 million tons of High Grade ore per year, and an additional 4 million tons of Medium and Low Grade ore per year.
The strategy is to optimize the NPV of the mine, and to produce the High Grade ore as much and as early as possible from the South IUP.
The increase of capacity is also inline with Stargate's plan to build its own RKEF processing plants which would require 600k tons of feed-in per line.
