Halmahera island is one of the main producing areas of laterite nickel ore in Indonesia. The mines are mainly concentrated in Buli, weda, subayin, gebe, obi and other areas. The location of the earthquake is indeed close to the mine and the nickel iron plant. However, according to SMM's investigation, the earthquake did not cause any impact.

It can also be learned from some public information that since Indonesia is an earthquake prone country, Chinese funded enterprises often invest in construction projects in accordance with the standard of earthquake resistance Grade 8. Although there is no impact on the factory itself, the impact of the earthquake on the infrastructure in the surrounding areas and whether there will be some indirect impact will occur.


According to foreign media on January 4, a manager of the morowali nickel smelting center in Sulawesi island, Indonesia, said that business activities in the area were not affected by the earthquake in the early hours of Monday. Bmkg, Indonesia's Meteorological Agency, said there were at least three Tremors with a magnitude of 4.9 near morowali on Monday. Morowali is Indonesia's largest nickel processing center. Qingshan holding group and other enterprises operate smelters in a park of Indonesia's morowali Industrial Park (IMIP).
