    Question

    Eramet Applies for Argentina RIGI Lithium Expansion; Weda Bay Restarts

    Direct answer

    French mining group Eramet is advancing its battery metals strategy by applying for Argentina's Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI) to support the initial expansion of its Centenario-Ratones lithium asset. The fiscal framework provides tax, customs, and FX incentives for major capital investments. Concurrently, Eramet reported that mining operations have restarted at PT Weda Bay Nickel in Indonesia, resolving operational halts and resuming ore extraction for regional smelters.
