IPO proceeds allocation. Amman Mineral Internasional (AMMN) is a company engaged in copper and gold mining with two mines under its management, Batu Hijau and Elang. The Batu Hijau mine is the second largest copper producer in Indonesia, while the Elang mine, which is still in ‘exploration’ stage, is expected to become one of the mines with the largest copper and gold deposits in the world. With an offering price of IDR 1,695 per share,  AMMN may raise up to IDR 10.8tn from its IPO. AMMN will issue 6.3bn new shares, equivalent to 8.8% of its issued and paid-up capital.

Added value from expansion projects. AMMN aims to complete its smelter construction in 2024, with a capacity of 900k tons of copper concentrates per annum. AMMN expects this smelter to be fully commissioned in 2025. The smelter will transform AMMN into an integrated mining company, and it will produce copper cathodes as well as gold and silver bars.

Elang as a future project. According to the company’s prospectus, the Batu Hijau mine is expected to remain operational until 2030. To replace the mine, AMMN plans to start the development of the Elang mine in 2027. Mining activities in the Elang mine are expected to run from 2031 to 2046.
