BUMN Holding the Indonesian Mining Industry, Mind ID, is proactively strengthening the quality of research results Big Mind so that it can be applied to every operational aspect of the Mind ID Group.
Big Mind 2024 innovation has the potential to have a positive impact on several aspects, including cost leadershipincreasing managed mineral reserves, new sources of income, strengthening the implementation of the circular economy, reducing emissions, and digitalizing operations.

The Company believes innovation is the most effective way to improve operational performance, maintain business continuity, as well as unlock greater business development potential in the future.
“We are grateful that the number of innovation works registered is increasing. In the future, we will focus on looking for opportunities to implement the innovations that have been produced by Big MInd participants,” said Heri in his official statement, Thursday (7/11).
Heri explained that one of the innovations promoted by the participants was low-grade nickel processing technology and a high S/M ratio for reserve conservation.
By adding special materials such as low grade nickel, Heri emphasized that the quality of the S/M ratio can be improved so that it can still be used, which ultimately has a positive impact on the Mind ID Group’s nickel reserves.
“This is certainly a breakthrough. As the backbone of the downstreaming of Indonesia’s mineral resources, the Mind ID Group must be able to optimize the added value of each mineral, including low-grade minerals,” concluded Heri.
