NPI production is expected to range from 80,000 to 87,000 tonnes, with an expected cash cost below $11,000/t.




Saprolite ore delivery is expected to be between 6.0 to 7.0 million wmt with limonite ore sales in the range of 12.5 and 15.0 million wmt.
Saprolite and limonite cash cost is anticipated to remain below $23/wmt and $11/wmt, respectively. Despite the impact of increase fuel prices by
the Indonesian government will affect overall costs, MBMA Groups plans to further reduce costs compared to FY2024 levels.




MHP production is set to achieve 25,000 to 30,000 tonnes is being targeted at cash cost of below $9,000/t after cobalt credit, once the operation
reaches its nameplate design capacity.




In 2025, our main focus is to realize the full potential of the AIM Plant, increase mining volumes at the SCM Mine, and expand processing capacity
at the HPAL plants of PT ESG and PT Meiming. Additionally, we aim to secure new strategic partnerships for the HPAL plants to drive further
significant growth.
