Indonesian Billionaire Prajogo Pangestu's Petrosea Wins $954 Million Mining Contract From Vale
Petrosea—a provider of mining engineering services backed by Indonesian billionaire Prajogo Pangestu—said it won a 16 trillion rupiah ($954 million) contract from the Indonesian unit of Vale, deepening its partnership with the Brazilian miner.
Under the deal, Jakarta-listed Petrosea will provide Vale Indonesia nickel mining and transport services from its mines in Morowali in central Sulawesi—about 2,500 kilometers east of Jakarta—for the next 10 years, according to an exchange filing earlier this week.
Vale's nickel mine in Morowali covers nearly 23,000 hectares and has a production capacity of 73,000 tons per year. The ore will supply a nickel smelter operated by Vale and its partner, located in the southeastern part of Morowali.
Last July, Petrosea also won a 2.8 trillion rupiah contract from Vale to procure and build a mine in the Pomalaa block, located in southeast Sulawesi. That boosted the company's order book to more than 64 trillion rupiah by the end of 2024.
With a real-time net worth of $15 billion, Pangestu ranks among Indonesia's wealthiest individuals. He holds stakes in coal mining company Petrindo Jaya Kreasi, the biggest shareholder Petrosea, as well as in Barito Renewables—both of which went public in 2023.
Apart from his mining assets, Pangestu has been expanding his interests in energy and petrochemicals. A joint venture backed by Pangestu's Chandra Asri and global commodities trader Glencore recently completed the acquisition of Shell's refinery and petrochemical assets in Singapore.

Brazil's Supreme Court justices agree to make social media companies liable for user content
BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — The majority of justices on Brazil's Supreme Court have agreed to make social media companies liable for illegal postings by their users. Gilmar Mendes on Wednesday became the sixth of the court's 11 justices to vote to open a path for companies like Meta, X and Microsoft to be sued and pay fines for content published by their users. Voting is ongoing but a simple majority is all that is needed for the measure to pass. The ruling will come after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned of possible visa restrictions against foreign officials allegedly involved in censoring American citizens. The only dissenting Brazilian justice so far is André Mendonça and his vote was made public last week. The social media proposal would become law once voting is finished and the result is published. But Brazil's Congress could still pass another law to reverse the measure. The current legislation states social media companies can only be held responsible in those cases if they do not remove hazardous content after a court order. Mauricio Savarese, The Associated Press
