From Nickel to Tin: How Integrated Mining Enhances Commodity Value

The value chain from extraction to export is complex but brimming with opportunity—especially when integrated through expert execution and strategic partnerships. PT Sandi Enigma Sinergi exemplifies this approach by combining licensed mining (IUJP) with a sister-trading entity, PT Tunas Wira Sakti, delivering nickel, tin, and coal as premium export products.

Why Integration Matters

A truly integrated mining operation removes friction between stages—drilling, hauling, processing, exporting. It ensures consistent quality, traceability, and time competitiveness in global markets. This unlocks:

  • Better pricing: Premium contracts for reliable, certified product
  • Faster delivery: Shortened timelines from extraction to loading
  • Regulatory ease: Clear compliance across the entire chain

Our Integrated Structure

Our dual-entity structure allows us to own and operate the full commodity lifecycle:

  1. PT Sandi Enigma Sinergi (IUJP Contractor):
    Manages land clearing, drilling, extraction, hauling, and transportation logistics.
  2. PT Tunas Wira Sakti (Trading & Export):
    Handles commodity quality assurance, market compliance, customs, and global shipment.

Focus Commodities: Nickel, Tin, Coal

Nickel

Critical for electric vehicle battery manufacturing and stainless steel.

  • We ensure strict grade testing (Ni content), moisture control, and supply contracts aligned with global OEMs.
  • Logistics are designed to meet fast-turnaround schedules.

Tin

Used in semiconductors, soldering, and corrosion-resistant materials.

  • We apply traceable chain-of-custody systems and collaborate with smelters that meet Tin Supply Chain Initiative (iTSCi®) standards to access better buyer pricing and responsible sourcing credentials.

Coal

Targets energy and industrial markets demanding high-quality thermal coal.

  • Coal products undergo percentage calorific value (MAC) testing and blending before shipment or local delivery.

Benefits of Our Integration

  • Single-source assurance: Buyers trust that quality assurance is consistent at every step.
  • Streamlined logistics: A unified chain avoids delays or miscommunication.
  • Compliance-ready: Regulatory processes—from extraction IUP to export licenses—are managed efficiently.

Industry Example

A global stainless-steel manufacturer contracted PT Tunas Wira Sakti for a nickel shipment. Integrated sourcing and quality controls ensured Grade 1 Ni delivery on time, earning repeat contracts and a pricing premium over spot market.

Path Forward: Expansion Through IUP

We’re actively acquiring new IUPs and developing joint-venture sites with international partners. This scalable model is built on integration, compliance, and long-term market access.

Conclusion

In today’s competitive mineral market, integration is essential. By owning operations from pit to export, PT Sandi Enigma Sinergi adds value, reliability, and transparency in nickel, tin, and coal supply. For global buyers, this means a trusted partner capable of delivering excellence.
