PT Hillcon Tbk (HILL), a leading mining contractor in Indonesia, signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with PT Sulawesi Cahaya Mineral (SCM), a subsidiary of PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk (MBMA) in Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi.
The signing of the LoI marks the start of strategic cooperation between Hillcon and Sulawesi Cahaya Mineral in developing the nickel industry within Indonesia. Hillcon has made its first cut on May 20, 2024.
"We are very enthusiastic to start collaborating with Sulawesi Cahaya Mineral or SCM and contribute to the development of the nickel industry in Indonesia," said Hillcon President Director, Hersan Qiu in his statement, Monday (3/6/2024).
The addition of clients strengthens the position of the issuer codenamed HILL as a nickel mining contractor, with a portfolio covering 9 mines, including PT Indrabakti Mustika which is a subsidiary of PT PAM Mineral Tbk (NICL), PT Adhi Kartiko Pratama Tbk (NICE), and PT Weda Bay Nickel (WBN).
