Nickel Island Project

Nusa Nickel Corp's Project in Central Sulawesi

World-Class Nickel Belt
- Located in North Morowali, Central Sulawesi, within the East Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt — one of the world’s most prolific lateritic nickel provinces. The region hosts established mining operations, infrastructure, and downstream processing capacity.

Laterite-Style Nickel System
- Nickel mineralization is developed through tropical weathering of ultramafic rocks including harzburgite, lherzolite, and serpentinite. Garnierite mineralization observed on site is consistent with regional lateritic nickel systems.

Active Production Footprint
- Mining activities are underway within a 10-hectare pilot operating allowance inside a 2,641-hectare Production Operation IUP valid through July 11, 2031. The Company also holds a Right of First Refusal over approximately 700 hectares within the permit area that has been pre-approved for production.

Conventional Open-Pit Mining
- Mining utilizes standard open-pit methods suitable for laterite deposits. Material is excavated, stockpiled, blended to specification, and transported for sale.

Logistical Advantage
- Material is transported approximately 10 km by road to a nearby jetty for shipment. Short haulage distances support efficient logistics and handling.

Close Proximity to the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP)
- The Project is located within approximately 170 km of the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park, which includes 14 operating nickel smelters. IMIP also hosts approximately 50+ tenant companies and industrial operators supporting integrated nickel processing and downstream activities.

Simplified Production Process
- Excavator → Domes → Mix to Desired Nickel Concentration → Load Truck → Transport 10km to Jetty → Repeat

We are now North America’s only revenue generating operator in Indonesia’s world-leading nickel district

Geological Overview

Overview: The Nickel Island Project is located in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, within the East Sulawesi Ophiolite Belt, a prolific nickel-bearing geological province that hosts long-established lateritic nickel operations. The region is characterized by extensive ultramafic rock sequences favorable for lateritic nickel formation.

Geology & Mineralization: Nickel mineralization is derived from serpentinized ultramafic bedrock (including harzburgite and dunite), which acts as the source rock for lateritic nickel systems. Tropical weathering of these ultramafic rocks has produced lateritic profiles containing nickel-bearing minerals commonly observed in Sulawesi laterite deposits. Garnierite (nickel magnesium hydrosilicate) has been observed across portions of the permit area, consistent with regional lateritic nickel systems.

Permitting & Operating Footprint: The Company operates on its pilot 10 ha parcel within a 2,641-hectare mining permit area and currently holds contractual rights to up to 700 hectares approved for phased production, providing a scalable pathway for ongoing and expanded mining operations.

Significant size: We have access to up to 700 ha of lateritic nickel rich land that has been approved by the Ministry of Energy & Resources for production.
