WORLD’S LARGEST COPPER SMELTER OWNED BY FREEPORT OFFICIALLY OPERATES IN INDONESIA The PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) smelter, located in the Java Integrated Industrial Ports Estate (JIIPE) Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Gresik, East Java, has officially commenced operations. This monumental achievement represents the Indonesian Government’s commitment to industrial downstream policies, aiming to enhance the national economy while ensuring resilience. 🔍 KEY POINTS: ✅ Unprecedented Scale: - The PTFI smelter stands as the world’s largest single-line copper refining facility. - Its impressive refining capacity reaches 1.7 million tons of copper concentrate annually. - The project spans 100 hectares within the JIIPE SEZ and boasts a cumulative investment value of US$3.7 billion. ✅ Domestic Value Creation: - Beyond benefiting domestic construction companies, the smelter’s operation will create multiplier effects for the people of Gresik Regency. - By refining 3 million tons of copper concentrate annually, it contributes significantly to Indonesia’s industrial landscape. - The collaboration with PT Smelting further enhances the country’s copper production capabilities. ✅ Integrated Mining and Royalties: - The smelter represents a groundbreaking integration from mining to the final product. - Gold production (50 tons) and silver production will generate royalties, bolstering government revenue. - This holistic approach ensures that all copper concentrate produced by PTFI can be processed and refined domestically. ✅ Ecosystem Support for Downstreaming: - PTFI’s presence in the Gresik SEZ aims to attract an ecosystem that supports downstream industries, particularly electric vehicles (EVs). - As EVs gain prominence, copper’s role becomes even more critical due to its use in electrical components. ✅ Economic Impact: - The Gresik SEZ has already recorded an impressive investment value of IDR 75.2 trillion by March 2024. - Over 35,000 workers have found employment within this thriving economic zone. - Strengthened exports, including nickel and palm oil, contribute to Indonesia’s economic stability. 🔗 Read full article on https://lnkd.in/gDkzwKYG #CopperSmelter #IndustrialDevelopment #IndonesiaEconomy #SustainableGrowth
