JAKARTA, July 18 (Reuters) – Indonesia will launch an online tracking system next week for nickel and tin shipments to increase government revenue and improve mining governance, a deputy coordinating minister said on Thursday.
The tracking system to be launched on Monday, known as SIMBARA, was first implemented on coal in 2022 and the resource-rich country has planned to widen its implementation to other minerals it produces.
Indonesia is the world’s biggest producer of nickel and one of its largest producers of tin. Using SIMBARA, the government would be able to track the nickel and tin from mines to domestic smelters.
