“NIC began as a direct shipping operation of nickel ore but is now set to emerge as a downstream nickel producer as a result of securing its refining capacity within the IMIP [Indonesian Morowali Industrial Park].”

Funds from the IPO will primarily be used by NIC to increase its interest in two new Rotary Kiln Electric Furnaces currently under construction within the IMIP, in collaboration with NIC’s partner, Shanghai Decent.
