In 2014, the Indonesian Government issued a ban on the exploration of unprocessed minerals, which forced production at Hengyaya to cease.

Last year, Nickel Mines signed a $200 million collaboration and subscription agreement with Shanghai Decent Investment, creating the Tsingshan Collaboration.

Under the agreement, and following a further offtake agreement signed late last year, Nickel Mines will supply around 50,000 wmt per month and  2 RKEF lines 1.5mt per year.
