French miner Eramet SA is looking to acquire more nickel mining permits in Indonesia, the Jakarta Post reported, citing a senior company official.

The firm wants to mine the battery metal on the island of Sulawesi, Bruno Faour, director of Eramet’s Indonesia unit, said in an interview. The prospective sites would need to be near areas with hydropower potential that could feed the operations, he added.
