- ♦Export policies of Indonesian lateritic changeable, to explore reliable source
- Changeable Indonesian export polices of ores have troubled Chinese consumers while Philippine lateritic export continues to decline due to concerns related to political environment and weather. As larger domestic ferronickel smelters are put into operation, nickel demand will definitely increase. Investors still focus on how to obtain reliable source of high grade lateritic.
- ♦Ferronickel capacity expanding brings about attention to new smelting techniques
- Ferronickel market has hovered around low level due to declining nickel prices in 2012, and high production costs caused serious loss to many producers. Nevertheless, more large-scale ferronickel projects that are under construction will adapt RKEF technique to lower costs, so ferronickel capacity will increase consistently once these projects are put into operation. Sources of the industry all concern how to use new techniques to lower costs and achieve sustainable development.
