Indonesia is a dominant player in the global nickel mining industry and has an abundance of other minerals besides nickel, including copper, bauxite, iron ore, coal, and gold. As of January 2015, with 25 million tonnes (Mt) of copper and 4.5Mt of nickel, Indonesia ranked ninth and sixth respectively in terms of reserves of these two commodities globally. The Grasberg minerals district in Papua province has one of the world’s largest copper deposits.

Key Highlights:

– Indonesia was the world’s 13th-largest copper mine producer and the third-largest nickel mine producer in 2014. Copper mine (or metal content in ore) production was 366,295 tonnes (t) in 2014, down by 24.5% versus 2013 due to a 30% drop in production from PT Freeport Indonesia owing to ban on unprocessed mineral exports.

– Simultaneously, nickel mine production was 215,000t in 2014, a huge drop of 54.9% due to the ban on exports of unprocessed ore which adversely affected mine production.

– The country’s mining industry is governed by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Republic of Indonesia (MEMR) and the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal. The Law of Mineral and Coal Mining No.4/2009 is the main law regulating coal mining in the country.
