Have a wealth of Mineral SDA, Indonesia is the King of the World Industry

Indonesia has a great opportunity to become the center of the power of the global industry thanks to the wealth of its mineral resources.

Lecturer in the Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering, Imam Santoso, said that Indonesia has mineral reserves ranging from nickel, bauxite, copper, to very large tin at the world level.

With this mineral reserve, Indonesia is able to build domestic industries that will strengthen economic sovereignty while placing Indonesia in a strategic position in the global arena.

“With copper reserves, we can become cable king. With nickel, we can become the king of electric cars. In fact we can become king of aircraft manufacturing who need a lot of aluminum in their production. Our natural wealth is not playing games, and we must optimize it,” he said in a mediamind socialization at ITB Bandung, Wednesday (8/20/2025).

Imam asserted that the government together with all its devices, including through the Indonesian Mind ID Mining Industry BUMN, had played an active role in optimizing Indonesia’s strategic mineral wealth.

Downstreaming the key to ensuring that mineral reserves are not only exported in the form of raw materials have also been carried out consistently.

As concrete proof, he said the government through Freeport Indonesia had built the largest copper smelter in Gresik which was able to produce large number of copper cathodes.

This smelter has the advantage of a single line model that supports high efficiency in its operations.

Indonesia also has tin processing facilities whose function is increasingly strategic as the increasing needs of the global electronic industry.

“This is where the Mind ID function manages Indonesian mineral reserves and increases its added value through downstreaming. So that the benefits of natural resources, and every increase in added value in each process can be intended as much as possible for the welfare of the people,” concluded Imam.
