The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) said that the progress of the construction of the construction of the PT Smelting slime processing and refining plant (smelter) has reached 4.83%. Smelting is obliged to build this smelter because slime anodes are included in the category of types of minerals that must be purified.
Slime anode or anode sludge is a by-product of copper concentrate purification. Smelting has been purifying PT Freeport Indonesia's copper concentrate in Gresik, East Java. ESDM Ministry's Director of Mineral Development and Exploitation Bambang Susigit said the Melime anode smelter's progress was 4.83% based on cumulative until the end of September.
"The figure of 4.83% is still in the stage of the development plan document, it has not entered construction," Bambang said in Jakarta, Tuesday (10/2).
PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara
Bambang revealed that Smelting built an slime anode smelter in cooperation with PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara. The smelter is located in Gresik. In the construction plan document, the smelter capacity reaches 6,000 tons.
"Building this smelter uses a cooperation scheme," he said.
Smelting previously collaborated with PT Antam Tbk and Freeport Indonesia in working on this project. The smelter development cooperation has been through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (memorandum of understanding / MoU) for the construction of an slime anode processing plant into precious metal (PMR). But in October 2017, the partnership with Antam and Freeport ended.
Because the two parties did not reach an agreement on the commercial side. Smelting then collaborated with PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara (AMNT)
to continue the construction of the slime anode smelter.

Pembangunan Smelter PT Smelting Capai 4,83%
Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menyatakan kemajuan pembangunan pembangunan pabrik pengolahan dan pemurnian (smelter) anoda slime PT Smelting telah mencapai 4,83%. Smelting wajib membangun smelter ini lantaran anoda slime termasuk dalam kategori jenis mineral yang harus dimurnikan.
Anoda slime atau lumpur anoda merupakan produk samping dari pemurnian konsentrat tembaga. Smelting selama ini memurnikan konsentrat tembaga PT Freeport Indonesia di Gresik, Jawa Timur. Direktur Pembinaan dan Pengusahaan Mineral Kementerian ESDM Bambang Susigit mengatakan, progres smelter anoda slime milikgSmelting sebesar 4,83% itu berdasarkan kumulatif hingga akhir September kemarin.
“Angka 4,83% itu masih dalam tahap dokumen rencana pembangunan, belum masuk konstruksi,” kata Bambang di Jakarta, Selasa (2/10).
Bambang mengungkapkan Smelting membangun smelter anoda slime bekerja sama dengan PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara. Smelter tersebut berlokasi di Gresik. Dalam dokumen rencana pembangunan disebutkan kapasitas smelter mencapai 6.000 ton.
“Membangun smelter ini mengunakan skema kerja sama,” ujarnya.
Smelting sebelumnya menggandeng PT Antam Tbk dan Freeport Indonesia dalam menggarap proyek ini. Kerjasama pembangunan smelter itu sudah melalui penandatangan nota kesepahaman (memorandum of understanding/MoU) pembangunan pabrik pengolahan anoda slime menjadi logam berharga (precious metal reinery/ PMR). Namun pada Oktober 2017 lalu, kerjasama dengan Antam dan Freeport ini berakhir.
Pasalnya, kedua pihak tidak mencapai kata sepakat dari sisi komersial. Smelting kemudian menggandeng PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara (AMNT) untuk melanjutkan pembangunan smelter anoda slime tersebut.
