Building the Foundations of Sustainable Mining

During the development phase of the Sampala Project, we collaborate with trusted contractors to build the core infrastructure that will support our long-term mining operations. This phase focuses on enabling access, mobility, and resource evaluation through specialized construction and drilling activities.

Exploration

Danmar Exploration leads detailed drilling programs to define the nickel ore body and strengthen geological confidence for future mine planning.

The 2024 exploration targets between 350–700 million dmt at 0.9%–1.1% nickel, supplementing the existing 187 million dmt resource. These targets are conceptual and require further drilling to confirm. 48,742 meters of drilling (1,846 holes) were completed over 1,600 hectares, contributing to a total of 95,630 meters (3,736 holes) across 2,500 hectares within a 4,700-hectare laterite zone.

Peak assay results included up to 7.41% nickel and 1.39% cobalt, with notable grades of 4.84% in limonite and 7.41% in saprolite.

MHR Construction

STM (Sinar Terang Mandiri) is building the Main Hauling Road (MHR), a key route for moving ore and materials at the Sampala Project. The road will be about 8 kilometers long, covering 33 hectares, and will be built from March to October 2025.

STM’s experience ensures the road will support heavy machinery and mining operations. This road is vital for site access and prepares the project for full operation.

Bridge Construction

Bumi Karsa is constructing important bridges along the MHR route to ensure smooth transport of equipment and ore. A key bridge, 60 meters long, will be built from May to November 2025 to connect difficult terrain.

Bumi Karsa’s expertise guarantees the bridges meet high standards for safety and durability. These bridges improve site connectivity and help mining operations run efficiently.

Support Facilities Construction

The infrastructure development at the Sampala Project includes foundational elements essential for supporting both construction and long-term operations. Key facilities include:

  • Site offices and worker accommodations
  • Power supply systems and gensets
  • Water treatment and storage facilities
  • Communication and IT networks

Each element is carefully planned and executed to ensure efficient, safe, and sustainable operations—with scalability in mind for future phases.
