Aramis Group, which sells second-hand cars online, said on Wednesday it had taken a first step towards an initial public offering (IPO) in Paris, in a sign that stock market listings in France are beginning to pick up pace.
Project aims to produce 120,000 T nickel, 15,000 T cobalt a year Huayou to hold 20%, EVE 17% and Tsingshan unit 31%
May 24 (Reuters) - China’s Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co said on Monday it would partner with companies including a unit of battery maker EVE Energy to set up a $2.08 billion nickel and cobalt smelting project in Indonesia.
Huayou will hold 20% of the venture and it is the cobalt supplier’s third major investment in a smelter in top nickel ore miner Indonesia, which is becoming an important centre for the nickel and cobalt chemicals used in electric vehicle batteries.
The latest site will be at Weda Bay on the island of Halmahera in North Maluku province where Huayou already partners with Tsingshan Holding Group in a nickel sulphate project. The project aims to produce around 120,000 tonnes of nickel and 15,000 tonnes of cobalt on a metal content basis, Huayou said in a filing to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
