PT Vale Indonesia Boosts Limonite Mining with New Stockpiles and Reclamation Approval

PT Vale Indonesia (PTVI) has made significant strides towards its 2025 limonite mining target with the inauguration of 13 limonite stockpiles in the Lembo South 2 area and the approval to reopen the first stage of the reclamation area in Sorowako, according the company’s post on LinkedIn. These developments signify a major step in PTVI’s commitment to sustainable and efficient mining practices.

The inauguration of the 13 new stockpiles, located in the Lembo South 2 area, demonstrates the company’s commitment to increasing its limonite mining capacity. These stockpiles, which were developed in a former disposal area, have a total storage capacity of 2,050,768 tons of nickel limonite, equivalent to three stockpiles in the originally planned mining area. This project has surpassed initial targets due to the collaborative efforts of the IGP Sorlim and Mine Operation Sorowako teams.

In addition to the stockpile inauguration, IGP Sorlim has also received approval to re-open the first stage of the reclamation area. This move marks the beginning of limonite mining in the Sorowako area and reflects PTVI’s dedication to responsible environmental stewardship.

PTVI aims to drive a transformation towards a future that is greener, more environmentally friendly, and empowering for the community. These recent developments, which were announced in a company post, demonstrate the company’s commitment to sustainable practices and its dedication to achieving its mining goals in a responsible manner.
