The move also brings Indonesia’s perspective into global discussions on copper, as the country plays an increasingly strategic role in regional and global supply chains.

AMMAN Director Naveen Chandralal said the decision to join ICA aligns with the company’s transformation across the copper value chain.

"This is a strategic step to support responsible and transparent copper production," he said in the written release on Wednesday (May 6, 2026).

ICA Chair Steven Rowland and CEO Juan Ignacio Diaz welcomed AMMAN’s entry, highlighting the company’s focus on advancing mining technology. “AMMAN strengthens our collective role in shaping the future of copper,” they said in the same release.

The membership comes as AMMAN completes its transition into a fully integrated mining-to-refining company, following the start of operations at its new smelter and precious metals refinery.
