Glencore, Nickel Industries enter sales agreement

Nickel Industries and Glencore have entered into a maiden nickel matte sales contract to commence in January 2024.

The contract will run for an initial six-month term and will see Nickel Industries sell nickel matte to Glencore from its Hengjaya nickel project in Indonesia.

Nickel matte is an intermediate product in the metallurgical process, and contains nickel content between 30–60 per cent.

Nickel Industries is currently trialling EVs within its operating fleet in an effort to achieve a 50 per cent reduction in carbon intensity by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2050.

“Very pleasingly we have seen strong interest from global battery and EV makers for our matte product, and welcome this first contract with Glencore as we continue to broaden of our customer base,” Nickel Industries managing director Justin Werner said.
