    Question

    Eramet Files for Argentina RIGI Lithium Expansion as Weda Bay Nickel Restarts

    Direct answer

    Eramet confirmed its intention to apply for Argentina's Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI) for the initial expansion phase of the Centenario-Ratones lithium brine project. RIGI status provides multi-year tax stabilization, customs exemptions, and foreign exchange access for qualifying mega-projects. Concurrently, the company confirmed that operations at PT Weda Bay Nickel have resumed. Weda Bay is a major low-cost nickel mining concession, and operational restarts support refined metal and battery-grade intermediate output.
