SGX welcomes first nickel mining firm to the Catalist

Silkroad Nickel eyes to sell and export low-grade nickel ore globally.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) welcomed Silkroad Nickel as the pioneer nickel firm in the Catalist, an announcement revealed.

Formerly known as China Bearing Singapore, the firm transferred its listing from the Mainboard to the Catalist board of the SGX Securities Trading (SGX-ST) after the completion of the reverse takeover of the company by investment firm FE Resources.

“We plan to explore the remaining area of our mining concession area so as to map out the next phases of growth and to identify new concession areas for future acquisitions,” Silkroad Nickel CEO and executive director Hong Kah Ing said.

Since the firm resumed its mining operations for nickel ore in July 2015, the firm has sold its nickel ore domestically and has achieved an aggregate sales volume of 312,549 wet metric tons (wmt) in FY2017.

“We are pleased to welcome Silkroad Nickel to SGX Catalist, the first nickel mining company listed on SGX, further expanding our Mineral, Oil and Gas offerings, and allowing new and existing investors to tap into the growth opportunities in the mining industry in Indonesia.” SGX head of equity capital market (SME) and head of capital market development Mohamed Nasser Ismail commented.

In order to diversify its customer portfolio beyond the domestic Indonesian market, the firm has applied to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) to commence the application process for the Export Quota to sell and export low-grade nickel ore to international customers.

With a market capitalisation of about $92m, Silkroad Nickel is the 26th firm listed under the Mineral, Oil and Gas companies. Its stock opened at $0.30.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
