Higher Indonesian output reflects strong production momentum across several key operations, including Weda Bay, Gag Island, Huafei, Pakal Island, Pomalaa, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, and Tapunopaka, which collectively reinforced Indonesia’s role as the primary driver of incremental global supply. Outside Indonesia, Brazil and Canada also supported the 2025 increase, although on a smaller scale.
