History

Antam was established in 1968 by the Indonesian government under Suharto by merging multiple state-owned mining companies. It became a limited company in 1974, and began listing in the Jakarta Stock Exchange in 1997.[3] In 2017, its ownership was transferred from the Indonesian government (which controlled 65 percent of the company's shares) to Inalum in a move intended to create a national holding company.[4]

Due to a government ban on the export of unprocessed ores, Antam has began construction of smelter facilities for ferronickel and alumina.[5]

Operations

As of 2015, Antam was a producer of bauxite, ferronickel, gold, nickel and silver.[6] It is Indonesia's largest producer of nickel, and it lost considerable amounts of revenue and profits following a nickel ore ban.[1] Antam's gold operations was the primary contributor of the company's revenue, making up 71 percent of its Q1 2018 revenue.[7] Antam is the only Indonesian gold refiner to be accredited by the London Bullion Market Association.[8]
