<p dir="ltr">Modern mining is no longer focused solely on production. Increasingly, the industry is placing greater emphasis on managing natural resources in a more measured, efficient, and responsible manner. One approach gaining importance is the use of exploration data to support more effective and sustainable mine planning.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel shared this perspective during a Geology Seminar with students from the Geological Engineering Department of Sriwijaya University (Unsri) in Palembang on Friday, May 16. Through the seminar, titled “Exploration and Geological Characteristics of Laterite Nickel Deposits to Support Sustainable Resource Utilization,” students gained insights into how geological data is utilized throughout the exploration and mine planning process.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The seminar featured presentations from Harita Nickel’s Brownfield Strategic Mine Planning Manager, M. Branata Wibowo, and Exploration &amp; Technical Assessment Superintendent, Tri Hadi Nugraha.</p>
<p dir="ltr">During his presentation, Tri explained that exploration serves as a critical foundation for mining operations, as it determines the quality of information used in mineral resource management.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to him, the exploration process begins with mapping areas that show potential for laterite nickel deposits, followed by soil and rock sampling to assess the characteristics, thickness, and distribution of nickel ore beneath the surface.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Effective exploration planning enables companies to gain a more accurate understanding of mineral resource characteristics, allowing mining operations to be managed more efficiently and systematically,” said Tri.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The resulting exploration data is then integrated into the mine planning process. Branata explained that technical teams utilize a range of analytical approaches—including topographical, geotechnical, and hydrological assessments—to develop more precise mine designs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He noted that a data-driven approach plays a vital role in supporting responsible mining practices, particularly in operational decision-making.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Every stage of mine planning is interconnected. Accurate data therefore serves as a critical foundation for ensuring mining activities are carried out in an optimal and measurable manner,” Branata said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Beyond discussing the technical aspects of exploration, Harita Nickel also introduced its implementation of Good Mining Practice principles across its operations. Through this approach, mining activities are conducted with careful consideration of production performance, occupational safety, environmental stewardship, and social sustainability.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These principles are applied throughout the mining lifecycle, from exploration and mine planning to the long-term management of operational areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For the students, the seminar provided a valuable opportunity to see how geological theories are applied in real-world mining operations. The interactive discussion covered a range of topics, including exploration challenges, geological data management, and the implementation of sustainable mining practices in the field.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Through this initiative, Harita Nickel continues to strengthen collaboration with academic institutions while introducing the next generation of professionals to modern mining practices that leverage data-driven approaches and sustainability principles.</p><script src="https://cdn.flmngr.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1780907073852"></script>

Advancing Responsible Mining, Harita Nickel Showcases Data-Driven Exploration

<p dir="ltr">The rhythmic beat of drums blended with the resonant sound of gongs, breaking the stillness of the night along the coast of Obi Island. Two days after Muslims marked Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijri, the courtyard of the Soligi Village Office transformed into a cultural stage where centuries-old traditions were brought to life. Hundreds of residents gathered around the performance arena, their attention fixed on a celebration dedicated to preserving the roots of their identity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That evening, the people of Soligi Village held the Ngibi Cultural Performance, a tradition inherited from their ancestors in Buton, Southeast Sulawesi. Carried across the sea generations ago, the cultural heritage has taken root and continues to thrive on Obi Island.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Before the performances began, the lively atmosphere fell silent. The village imam led a prayer, underscoring the close connection between the Ngibi dance tradition and the Islamic values embraced by the local community. The ceremony continued with a customary leader opening the arena through a pencak silat demonstration, symbolically paving the way for the younger generation who would follow.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/image3_3.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="501"></p>
<p dir="ltr">The stage was then filled by the Cungka Dance, performed by female dancers to represent the earliest stage of human life in the womb. The narrative continued through the Ngibi Dance, a paired performance symbolizing gratitude for the moment when the soul is breathed into the body. Throughout the graceful choreography, male dancers refrain from touching their female partners, reflecting the community’s deep respect for women as nurturers of life.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Soligi traditional leader Imam La Puasa explained that every movement and stage of the Ngibi performance embodies moral teachings, life values, and the historical journey of the Butonese community that has been passed down through generations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Ngibi is more than just entertainment. It carries wisdom, history, and an identity inherited from our ancestors. That is why this tradition must be preserved, so that future generations do not lose sight of their roots,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Historically, the Ngibi Dance was performed as an expression of gratitude following a successful harvest. Today, the tradition has evolved into a cultural centerpiece for various community celebrations, including Eid al-Adha festivities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After the philosophical reflections conveyed through dance, the arena once again came alive. Elementary and high school students took center stage in a series of pencak silat demonstrations. Cheered on by hundreds of spectators, the martial arts performances were not intended as contests of aggression but rather as expressions of sportsmanship, discipline and the warrior spirit embraced by Soligi’s younger generation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Where Industry and Local Wisdom Meet</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">For Soligi Village Head Madaisi La Siriali, the vibrant celebration represented more than entertainment—it was part of a broader effort to prevent cultural erosion.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“This event, supported by Harita, is the result of collaboration between the village government and customary leaders. Let us continue to learn about and preserve our identity while encouraging younger generations to safeguard their cultural heritage,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The cultural performance was made possible through collaboration between the local community and Harita Nickel. The partnership offers a tangible example that industrial development and downstream processing activities do not have to come at the expense of local cultural identity. Instead, industry can play a catalytic role in ensuring that traditional values continue to flourish.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Reaffirming this commitment, Harita Nickel Community Relations Supervisor Wigit Yan Sukmawan said the company’s presence is grounded in respect for local wisdom and cultural heritage.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“For us, preserving cultural traditions is just as important as maintaining operational excellence. The Ngibi Dance is an integral part of Soligi’s cultural identity. Our role goes beyond fulfilling social responsibilities—we want to help ensure that this tradition continues to be passed on to future generations,” Yan said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While the growth of Indonesia’s downstream mineral industry promises economic transformation, meaningful investment also involves safeguarding the social and cultural capital that shapes local communities.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/image2_1.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="501"></p>
<p dir="ltr">As the night grew later, the arena showed no signs of quieting down. Accompanied by the steady rhythm of gongs, children continued to dance and practice pencak silat with enthusiasm. They were doing more than demonstrating their skills; they were receiving the baton of Buton’s cultural legacy. In the hands of Soligi’s younger generation, this ancestral heritage remains firmly preserved, ensuring its heartbeat will continue to resonate along the shores of Obi for generations to come.</p>

Ngibi Cultural Performance: Passing Down Buton’s Heritage to Soligi’s Younger Generation

<p dir="ltr">Indonesia’s nickel industry has undergone a major transformation. Once reliant on raw ore exports, the country is now among the world’s largest producers of processed nickel, supported by an integrated value chain spanning mining and downstream processing. The shift has been driven by rising global demand for nickel as a critical commodity in the energy transition.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Amid these developments, global scrutiny is no longer focused solely on production volumes, but also on how nickel is produced and how traceable its supply chain is. Buyers, regulators, and investors increasingly view responsible mining practices as a key benchmark in the global minerals trade.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/mceclip0_1.jpg" width="1000" height="665"></p>
<p dir="ltr">In response to these evolving expectations, Harita Nickel is set to undertake the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process Plus (RMAP+) audit in June 2026. The audit follows the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) assessment previously completed by the company.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Unlike the earlier assessment, which focused primarily on conflict-free minerals, RMAP+ covers a broader range of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The RMAP assessment we previously completed ensured that the minerals we use do not originate from conflict-affected areas. Through the RMAP+ audit, we aim to demonstrate that our entire production process meets higher ESG standards,” said Eryawan Yudha Taruna, Sustainability Manager at Harita Nickel.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Through the audit process, Harita Nickel is reinforcing its commitment to responsible nickel mining and processing practices. The RMAP+ assessment also forms part of the company’s efforts to address increasingly stringent global market expectations, where ESG performance has become a fundamental requirement in mineral trade.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="img-fluid" style="width: auto; height: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/reklamasi%20komodo%202.jpg" width="1000" height="608" data-fm="true"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Countries and regions across the world are tightening regulations on mineral supply chains. The European Union, through the EU Battery Regulation and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), is pushing companies to demonstrate responsible and traceable supply chains. Meanwhile, China has begun implementing a Digital ID system for electric vehicle batteries, requiring battery materials to be traceable back to their origin.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The global market no longer asks merely whether nickel ore originates from conflict-affected areas, but also whether the entire nickel ore supply chain upholds strong and transparent ESG standards. Through this audit, we aim to ensure that Harita Nickel’s supply chain system meets the expectations of international partners and regulators,” Eryawan said.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel’s commitment to undertaking the RMAP+ audit makes it the first nickel mining and processing company in Asia to take this step. The initiative reflects the company’s broader effort to move beyond compliance while strengthening transparency and traceability across its supply chain, from mining operations to processed products.</p><script src="https://cdn.flmngr.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1784773145359"></script>

First in Asia, Harita Nickel Undergoes RMAP+ Audit to Strengthen ESG Standards

<p dir="ltr">Nickel industry activity is directly linked to ore availability. As mining and processing activities in Indonesia continue to expand, the demand for nickel ore has increased significantly. This makes the availability of reserves one of the most strategic issues for the industry’s sustainability. This was one of the main topics presented by Harita Nickel at the MGEI CEO Forum 2026, an annual forum that brings together mining industry actors and stakeholders to discuss strategic issues in the mineral sector.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The forum, which carried the theme “Exploration as an Investment Strategy: Boosting Exploration Incentives to Generate the Next Mineral Wealth,” emphasized the importance of exploration as the foundation of value and sustainability in the mining industry. On this occasion, Harita Nickel’s Head of Exploration &amp; Mine Development, Robby Rafianto, also presented the company’s reserve replacement strategy as an effort to strengthen operational sustainability.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="img-fluid" style="width: auto; height: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/MGEI%20Forum%202026_2.jpg" width="1000" height="666"></p>
<p dir="ltr">In his presentation, Robby explained that Indonesia’s nickel industry is currently facing structural challenges. National processing capacity continues to grow, driven by global demand. This strengthens Indonesia’s position in the global market. However, on the other hand, the availability of ore for processing also poses a challenge that industry players must address. This is where exploration plays a crucial role in supporting the industry’s sustainability.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“As part of the strategy to replace reserves, exploration is not just about discovering new resources, but also about ensuring long-term operational sustainability. This is reflected in the exploration budget, which continues to grow year after year. Without sustained exploration, the industry’s growth will be difficult to maintain,” he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">In addition to extensive exploration in areas covered by Mining Business Permits (IUPs), Harita Nickel implements a reserve replacement strategy through a multi-layered approach. This includes additional drilling in active mining areas, re-evaluation of former mining sites where material has the potential to be reprocessed, conducting research to improve ore quality, and acquiring new IUPs.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="n1ed--selected" style="width: auto; height: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Aktivitas%20Penambangan.jpg" alt="Mining Activity" width="1000" height="562"></p>
<p dir="ltr">One of the most impactful reserve replacement initiatives is the company’s efforts to optimize the Life of Mine Plan (LoMP). Through this approach, Harita Nickel implements a blending strategy by mixing internal ore with ore from the domestic market, as well as adjusting the minimum nickel grade standards for processing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Through LoMP optimization, Harita Nickel is putting a plan into place to decrease the cut-off grade as an attempt to increase the amount of exploitable reserves, or the threshold for nickel concentration. In line with this, various efficiency improvement efforts continue to be implemented at both the High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) and Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) facilities, ensuring that the quality and volume of the final product are maintained.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">“With our continuously enhanced processing capabilities, Harita Nickel can now utilize resources that previously could not be processed optimally. This expands the available reserve opportunities for the company in the long term,” explained Robby.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The reserve replacement strategy is a positive step in addressing the industry’s challenges. However, operational sustainability is not determined solely by the availability of reserves. On the same occasion, Robby also highlighted other challenges facing the industry, including changes in external factors, rising production costs, and increasingly stringent carbon emission management requirements.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">To address these challenges, Harita Nickel is implementing various decarbonization initiatives, ranging from the utilization of a 40 MWp solar power plant, the implementation of B35 bio-diesel, to the reuse of heat from processing.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Through its participation in the MGEI CEO Forum 2026, Harita Nickel reaffirmed its commitment to addressing industry challenges comprehensively and measurably. The initiatives undertaken serve as tangible evidence of the company’s active role in supporting the advancement of the national mining industry through the renewal of operational practices based on the principles of adaptability, efficiency, and sustainability.</p><script src="https://cdn.flmngr.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1784692634869"></script>

Harita Nickel Strengthens Nickel Reserves Through Reserve Replacement Strategy

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The nickel mining and processing industry is often portrayed as a masculine world, harsh, noisy, and high-risk. Yet within Harita Nickel’s operational landscape on Obi Island, South Halmahera, that narrative is gradually evolving. Emancipation is no longer just an idea, but a reality reflected in the dedication of resilient women across the organization.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">These women not only hold strategic roles at the forefront of occupational safety and environmental protection but also serve as key drivers in fostering social harmony with surrounding communities. Their stories demonstrate that in an industry traditionally dominated by men, equal opportunities to contribute and lead are very real. Here, opportunity is defined not by gender, but by competence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Local Women at the Frontline: Safeguarding Harmony and Safety</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The presence of local women in strategic positions represents one of the strongest reflections of inclusivity at Harita Nickel. Margarita Luwudara and Yufita Tuhuteru, both natives of Obi Island, play critical roles in two vital aspects of the company: social engagement and operational safety.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Margarita, Community Relations Superintendent at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada (TBP) Tbk., has served as a vital bridge between the company and local communities since 2018. As a resident of Kawasi Village, the core operational area, Rita brings an empathetic, community-centered perspective to ensure that social programs are well-targeted and impactful.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“As someone from Obi, I am grateful for the support provided by the company. It has a significant impact on our future, and I hope the younger generation of Obi will dare to dream,” she said. For Rita, her role is more than a profession; it is a way to empower her hometown.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">While Rita nurtures social harmony, Yufita Tuhuteru operates at the technical frontline of high-risk industrial processes. As a Process Safety Engineer at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), this native of Soligi Village is responsible for ensuring process safety at facilities producing materials for electric vehicle batteries.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">With a master’s degree in chemistry from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Yufita focuses on maintaining the integrity of processing systems to prevent critical incidents. For her, ensuring plant safety is more than a matter of compliance; it is a form of responsibility and care, protecting both her colleagues and the community where she was born.</p>
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/Margarita%20Luwudara.jpg" alt="Women contribute in maintaining the harmony of kawasi residents" width="855" height="481">

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Managing Natural Challenges for Environmental Sustainability</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Mining operations inevitably interact closely with natural conditions. At PT TBP Tbk., high rainfall on Obi Island presents a constant operational challenge that requires precision and vigilance. At this critical point, Esmar Sulea Datu Lalong, Senior Mine Hydrology Engineer, and Mira Marlinda, Environment Supervisor, play a key role.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">They are responsible for managing run-off water, particularly through sediment ponds such as Tugu Raci 2, which spans 43 hectares. “Water quality is strictly controlled through physical and chemical methods to ensure it meets regulatory standards before being discharged,” explained Esmar and Mira.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">A similar challenge, in a different operational context, is handled by Rahma Maulida. As a Laboratory Assistant Engineer at the Dry Stack Tailings Facility (DSTF) of PT HPL, Rahma oversees water quality in tailings management areas. Daily monitoring at both inlet and outlet points ensures that operations remain safe from potential contamination and landslide risks.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/Rahma%20Maulida.jpg" alt="Women contribute to environmental monitoring." width="800" height="533">
<figcaption>Rahma Maulida monitors the water in the treatment pond to ensure that the water discharged into the environment meets quality standards.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>From Coastal Conservation to a Culture of Compliance</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Environmental stewardship extends beyond mining areas to coastal ecosystems, led by Putri Wulandari. As an Environment Marine Foreman and a graduate of Khairun University in Ternate, Wulan leads concrete initiatives such as mangrove planting, coral substrate installation, and routine marine monitoring across the Obi Industrial Area.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/Putri%20Wulandari.jpg" alt="Women contribute in the field of diving" width="800" height="450">
<figcaption>Putri Wulandari checks the quality of the seawater and documents the condition of the ecosystem as part of environmental monitoring.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Ultimately, all these efforts, from upstream to downstream, are anchored in one fundamental principle: a culture of compliance. At the smelting facility of PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), this responsibility is upheld by Claudia Kowaas. As Occupational Health and Safety Compliance System Staff and a graduate of Universitas Sam Ratulangi, she ensures that safety standards are not merely documented, but actively implemented.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“Compliance is the foundation. It is what ensures that every worker can return home safely to their families,” Claudia emphasized.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/Claudia%20Kowaas.png" alt="Women contribute in the field of K3" width="800" height="480">
<figcaption>Claudia Kowaas carefully analysed the data and strengthened the OHS management system at Harita Nickel.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The presence of women in these critical roles at Harita Nickel is not an anomaly, but a reflection of the mining industry’s transformation. As noted by the Executive Director of the Indonesian Mining Association (IMA), Hendra Sinadia, women’s participation in the mining sector has grown significantly, reaching leadership levels and reshaping the industry into a more inclusive space.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">At Harita Nickel, these women demonstrate a clear message: they are not here to fill quotas. They are decision-makers, guardians of social harmony, risk mitigators, and frontline leaders ensuring that all operations align with the company’s commitment to people development, environmental stewardship, and community well-being.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><script src="https://cdn.flmngr.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1784626324212"></script>

Iftar Gathering with Local Media: Harita Nickel Strengthens Communication and Unity

<p dir="ltr">Workplace safety management remains a key priority in the mining industry. The complexity of operational activities requires companies to establish strong risk control systems and ensure they are implemented consistently in the field. For this reason, experiences in developing safety systems are often shared among industry players as part of collective learning.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This topic was among those discussed during a capacity-building event organized by the North Maluku chapter of the Indonesian Mining Professionals Association (PERHAPI) on February 12, 2026, in Ternate. The forum, themed “Implementation of Good Mining Practice (GMP) in Occupational Health and Safety and Operational Safety,” was attended by representatives from the regional Office of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) as well as several mining companies operating in North Maluku.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At the event, Supriyanto Suwarno, Vice President of OHS &amp; Management System at Harita Nickel, presented how the company develops and implements its Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) system. According to him, safety management at Harita Nickel is built on an integrated, risk-based approach, ensuring that a clear risk control framework supports every operational activity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The OHS approach at Harita Nickel is developed progressively. It begins with a strong management system foundation and is then reinforced through operational implementation. The ultimate goal is to foster a sustainable safety culture across all levels of the organization,” Supriyanto explained.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The foundation begins with strengthening the OHS management system as the basis for risk control. At Harita Nickel, this framework is integrated into the Harita Nickel Integrated Management System, which brings together corporate management standards, internal guidelines, and compliance with applicable regulations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Once the management system is established, the next focus is ensuring its implementation at the operational level. The company translates safety principles into daily work practices through consistent enforcement of safety rules, continuous development of workforce competencies, and active involvement of all parties engaged in operational activities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Safety enforcement is carried out through measurable safety performance indicators and a reward-and-consequence mechanism designed to maintain work discipline. At the same time, the company strengthens workforce capability by developing the OHS function within the organization, including the management of safety aspects among contractor partners.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The participation of all stakeholders is also essential in maintaining consistent safety practices. Through various engagement programs, individuals are encouraged to recognize their role in creating a safe working environment for themselves and for their colleagues.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to Supriyanto, the success of OHS implementation ultimately depends on collective awareness in the workplace.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“When safety awareness becomes part of daily work habits, people become more attentive to potential risks and are more likely to take preventive action at an early stage,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Through this forum, Harita Nickel shared its experience in managing the company’s safety system. Such exchanges of practices are expected to broaden the perspective of mining industry players in North Maluku and support stronger OHS implementation across their respective workplaces.</p>

Harita Nickel Shares Occupational Safety System Practices at PERHAPI North Maluku Forum

<p>Participants of the Youth Skills and Competency Development Program (PELITA) Batch IV undertook both theoretical and practical examinations for the Overhead Crane Operator License (SIO) certification on March 11, 2026. This stage ensures that participants’ technical competencies and understanding of occupational safety meet the operational standards of the high-risk nickel industry.</p>
<p>A total of 40 youths from various villages in South Halmahera Regency, particularly Obi Island, took part in the evaluation after completing an intensive three-month training program. The examinations were supervised by the South Halmahera Regency Manpower Office to ensure that the certification process was conducted in accordance with prevailing regulations.</p>
<p>The Head of the South Halmahera Regency Manpower and Transmigration Office (Disnakertrans), Daud Djubedi, representing the regional government, expressed appreciation and support for the consistent implementation of this vocational program.</p>
<p>“We see this program as providing real access for local youth to gain hands-on experience and technical skills that are relevant to industry needs,” he stated.</p>
<p>During the practical examination, participants were assessed on their ability to operate an overhead crane, including hoisting techniques, cross and long travel movements, as well as risk identification. Ahmad S. Adam, a participant from Bacan, stated that the training had broadened his understanding of safety standards and operational procedures for heavy equipment.</p>
<p>“This training has made us more prepared and confident to work professionally as operators,” he said.</p>
<p>Prior to joining the program, Ahmad worked as a crew member in the furnace area at PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel, one of Harita Nickel’s business units. He hopes that the skills gained from the training will open up better job opportunities in the future as an overhead crane operator within the company.</p>
<p>Agung Aribowo, Deputy Department Head of Technical Support at Harita Nickel, emphasized that developing local workforce competencies is a key element in supporting the increasingly complex nickel downstream industry.</p>
<p>“The nickel downstream industry upholds high technical and safety standards. Therefore, competency development must be carried out systematically and measurably. Programs like PELITA ensure that we are not only building industrial facilities, but also strengthening human capacity,” said Agung.</p>
<p>He added that downstreaming is not merely about increasing the added value of minerals, but also about transforming the industrial ecosystem, which requires a skilled workforce with strong safety discipline.</p>
<p>Since its launch in 2023, PELITA has been designed based on operational needs to ensure that participants possess technical readiness aligned with production processes in the nickel industrial area. Through this SIO certification, participants are expected to contribute as competent workers while strengthening the role of local human resources within the downstream industry value chain.</p>

Harita Nickel Assesses Local Operator Competency, Prepares Skilled Workforce for the Downstream Industry

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>OBI ISLAND, South Halmahera</strong> – For decades, crossing the Akelamo River has been a challenge for residents of Kawasi and Soligi villages in South Halmahera Regency, especially during strong currents or adverse weather. Today, that land isolation has officially ended with the operation of the Akelamo River Bridge, which has been open since early 2025.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the largest and longest river on Obi Island, and the only outlet for water from Lake Karo, the Akelamo River plays a central yet challenging role in the region. In the past, the distribution of agricultural produce between Kawasi and Soligi relied on a manually operated pontoon bridge (a simple floating dock) with limited capacity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 105-meter-long and 20-meter-wide bridge was built with support from Harita Nickel. This infrastructure not only shortens travel time but is also expected to become a new economic lifeline for communities along the western and southern coasts of Obi Island.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Soligi Village Head, Madaisi La Siriali, recalled how difficult mobility used to be before the bridge existed, particularly for farmers and traders transporting agricultural products. “In the past, residents had to adjust to river currents and weather conditions when crossing. Now the access is safer, faster, and more efficient. It also makes it much easier for residents to reach healthcare and education services,” said Madaisi.</p>

</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A similar positive impact has been felt by residents of Kawasi Village. Kawasi Village Head, Arifin Saroa, emphasized the importance of the bridge in strengthening economic collaboration between the two villages. “Let’s organize things well so we can sell together. Women traders from Soligi and Kawasi can now work together because land access is finally open,” he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The significant infrastructure improvement has also received positive recognition from Telapak Association. Mohammad Djufryhard, Social Assessor of Telapak Association, validated the substantial benefits of the infrastructure built by Harita Nickel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He shared his experience visiting Obi in 2023, when he still had to cross the river using a pontoon bridge. However, when he returned in 2025, he witnessed firsthand how the new bridge had improved inter-village connectivity and greatly supported the distribution of agricultural and fisheries products.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“For us, this is an added value provided by the company, particularly in infrastructure development that continues to improve each year,” said Djufryhard.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Akelamo Bridge is the second facility built by Harita Nickel. Previously, in 2024, the mining company also inaugurated another bridge within the Soligi Village area worth Rp1.25 billion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Head of External Relations of Harita Nickel, Latif Supriadi, said the infrastructure development reflects the company’s commitment to encouraging economic growth and improving the quality of life for communities around its operational areas.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Without strong collaboration with the community, this development would not have been possible. We remain committed to actively contributing to the welfare of communities surrounding our operational areas,” he concluded.</p>

Opening Access Between Soligi and Kawasi, Akelamo Bridge Becomes New Economic Lifeline for Obi’s Coastal Communities

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Obi Island, South Halmahera</strong> — The distinctive aroma of various takjil delicacies and the lively chatter of residents transform the commercial area of the new Kawasi Village settlement every afternoon as the time for breaking the fast approaches. More than just an ordinary evening market, the vibrant atmosphere initiated by Harita Nickel through the “Sapa Ramadan” program has become a new economic pulse that energizes dozens of local MSMEs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Every afternoon, hundreds of residents and Harita Nickel employees flock to rows of stalls offering takjil and basic food staples. The main attraction on Sunday afternoon (February 22) was a 50 percent discount program on all items. The strong enthusiasm from visitors became a catalyst for significant economic activity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hardiana and Abdul Khamis Muis, employees who took part in the shopping crowd, acknowledged that the bazaar not only makes affordable daily necessities more accessible but also offers a comforting reminder of culinary flavors from their hometowns.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Almost every afternoon, my friends and I come here to hunt for takjil. It has become a routine for us. The food is delicious, and for us it also helps ease the longing for home,” said Ismail, the nickname of Abdul Khamis Muis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Interestingly, the excitement and benefits of Sapa Ramadan transcend religious boundaries. Non-Muslim residents such as Yunince also joined the lively crowd, turning the bazaar into an inclusive space for social interaction while offering a rare opportunity to enjoy traditional Ramadan treats that are seldom found outside the holy month.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Economic Stimulus for Local Traders<br></strong></p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/mceu_36007297231772951290884.jpg" alt="Takjil Stans at Kawasi" width="1080" height="720">
<figcaption><em>Residents and Harita Nickel employees gather at takjil stalls in the commercial area of Kawasi Village’s new settlement ahead of iftar.</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For MSME players, the surge in visitors has translated directly into improved income. Tina Nomor, a vendor selling side dishes and ketupat, recorded an average daily revenue of Rp1 million since the bazaar opened.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A similar experience was shared by sisters Mila and Tika, who sell various takjil snacks. The company’s discount subsidy program has helped their products sell out more quickly, allowing the two to earn more than Rp1.5 million in a single day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Just one hour after opening, most of our items are already almost sold out. This subsidy really helps increase our income. We hope the crowds will continue until the end of Ramadan,” Mila said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sapa Ramadan demonstrates that the Kawasi commercial area—a more organized and integrated community market that has been home to hundreds of local traders since last year—holds strong potential as a new economic hub.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Suryo Aji from Harita Nickel’s Community Development team explained that the Sapa Ramadan bazaar involves 35 takjil vendors and 10 local staple-food traders. On regular days, the daily circulation of money ranges between Rp18 million and Rp20 million. This figure rises sharply to around Rp50 million when the 50 percent discount program is implemented.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“We hold this half-price discount twice during Sapa Ramadan through a subsidy mechanism. Traders still receive full payment based on normal prices for their first Rp500,000 in accumulated sales. This is our way of spreading joy while also providing direct economic stimulus to our local MSME partners,” Suryo Aji explained.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sustainable Community Empowerment</strong></p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/mceu_79941224241772951340450.jpg" alt="Bazaar at Kawasi" width="1080" height="720">
<figcaption><em>The bazaar strengthens the area’s role as a growing center of local economic activity.</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Harita Nickel’s commitment to community empowerment extends beyond Kawasi. Previously, the company successfully organized a subsidized basic food bazaar in collaboration with Islamic study groups and PKK women’s groups in Soligi Village. Notably, all proceeds from the sale of these basic goods were not reclaimed by the company but were fully granted as business capital for local partners.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Until the end of Ramadan, Harita Nickel continues to roll out various activities across villages within its operational area, including providing assistance for orphans and the elderly. These initiatives reflect the company’s ongoing commitment to Community Development and Empowerment (PPM), ensuring that the company’s presence consistently brings added value and fosters greater independence for surrounding communities.</p><script src="https://cdn.flmngr.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1784623890125"></script>
