ANTM's Ferronickel Sales Surge 420% in Q2 2026

PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM) reported a 420% surge in ferronickel sales volume in the second quarter of 2026 to 4,802 tons of nickel in ferronickel (TNi), compared with 924 TNi in the same period a year earlier, according to Industri on Friday (July 31, 2026).

The significant growth was driven by the optimization of the company's marketing strategy in global export markets and sustained operational efficiency throughout the first half of 2026.

Cumulatively, the state-owned mining company's ferronickel sales reached 7,605 TNi in the first half of 2026, up 32% year on year from 5,763 TNi.

All of ANTM's ferronickel output was absorbed by international markets, particularly China, India, and South Korea, which are major hubs of the global stainless steel industry.

Outside ferronickel, the gold segment recorded sales volume of 9,615 kilograms in the second quarter of 2026, bringing total sales in the first half of the year to 18,080 kilograms.

For nickel ore, ANTM produced 3.90 million wet metric tons (wmt) in the second quarter of 2026, while total sales in the first half of 2026 reached 6.77 million wmt, all of which were allocated to meet the needs of domestic smelters.

Meanwhile, bauxite sales in the second quarter of 2026 rose 38% to 663,942 wmt, while alumina production through subsidiary PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina increased 12% to 50,690 tons.

Management reaffirmed its commitment to integrating sustainability principles across all of the company's mining activities.

"The approach includes integrated management of environmental, social, and governance aspects as part of our efforts to create long-term value while delivering sustainable benefits to all stakeholders," ANTM's management said.

The company also continues to enhance market access and the quality of its precious metals products on a regular basis to maintain customer satisfaction in the domestic market.

"In line with evolving market needs, ANTM continues to develop its products, services, and distribution channels to improve customer experience, expand market reach, and maintain the competitiveness of its gold business," management said.

The company's entire nickel ore sales allocation is directed toward supporting the domestic downstream processing industry's supply chain.

"This strategy is in line with the company's commitment to strengthening the national mineral downstream ecosystem by ensuring a reliable and sustainable supply of raw materials," management said.

The company also continues to implement efficiency measures and optimize the management of its mineral processing facilities to maintain consistent performance across all business units.

"All of ANTM's bauxite sales were absorbed by the domestic market, in line with the company's role in supporting the raw material needs of the domestic processing industry," management said.
