QMB nickel resource project successfully completed commissioning and capacity climbing, entered the stage of production Danone, and the product quality reached the world's advanced level, marking the world's first Indonesian nickel resource high-pressure leaching (HPAL) project independently designed, debugged and operated by the company.

Based on the advanced design concept of "Science & Technology + Green + Intelligence", the Project is designed and commissioned independently by GEM. In light of the industrial ideal of "Putting laterite nickel ore into furnaces and refining them into ternary materials", the laterite nickel ores are directly used to manufacture new energy raw materials and materials, thus creating a whole industry chain mode from laterite nickel ores to new energy materials.

The Project has the following outstanding features in terms of planning and future development: Firstly, low-grade ores are used to ensure the complete recovery of resources and seek low-carbon and green development. In the Project, the low-grade (0.8% -1.3%）laterite nickel ores not used in pyrometallurgy (RKEF and high grade nickel matte technology routes) are used, and the nickel. cobalt and manganese resources are fully recovered to realize the maximum utilization of resources The carbon dioxide emissions per ton of nickel metal decrease by over 60% compared to the pyrometallurgical technology. Secondly, the output scale is large and the industry chain is complete. With the modular, compact, and multidimensional design, the project aims to produce 73000 tons of nickel metal, 7000 tons of cobalt metal, and 10,000 tons of manganese metal on and area of 70 hectares (1060 mu) and high-purity nickel sulfate crystals. cobalt sulfate crystals and manganese sulfate crystals as the new energy raw materials and will have an active plan for the ternary precursor materials. Thirdly, the introduction of science & technology into Indonesia enables the improvement of the metallurgical engineering technology of this country. With an investment of RMB 200 million, the world-class Laterite Nickel Ore Hydrometallurgy and New Energy Materials Engineering Technology Research Center is built to improve the Indonesian laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgy research and development to an advanced level in the world and to cultivate Masters of Science in Metallurgical Engineering for Indonesia. At present, there are 22 graduates and 50 under training. Fourthly, above 95% of the equipment in the Project is "Made in China" and highly acclaimed. Filthy, emphasizing cultural integration, green, and environmental protection, GEM has been on the corresponding ESG list. The world-class Nickel industry Museum shows the centenary history of nickel resources to the world and demonstrates the surging power of Indonesian nickel resources-driven new energy resources; The advanced sewage, waste residue, and waste gas treatment systems have made the emissions far lower than the Indonesian standards and reached the EU standards. The systems adopt whole-process real-time monitoring, cloud management, and cloud disclosure. The Indonesian multi-ethnic culture is spread through the first-class elegant, and sacred prayer room. The Project will offer jobs to more than 3,000 Indonesians after it reaches the design production capacity.

On January 14, 2023, the first batch of 1,200 tons of metal nickel MHP shipping ceremony was successfully held.This is an important milestone for the company to realize nickel resources quarantee. as well as the remarkable achievements of the company in promotion the intearated development of industry. technoloay and culture. and buildind a highlight in Sino-Indonesian cooperation!
