For one thing it would make overall nickel industry in Indonesia more profitable by a laaarge margin. Its going to increase incentives to prospect and open new mines, which will mean making our confirmed nickel reserves higher (right now only 7 years of confirmed nickel reserves left, which is...

Yup to all three accounts! :D Pretty shrewd way for Turkey to position itself IMO. They get all the technology they want, and then resell the tech they think is ok to resell. In a way, it compensates them for the extra risk of trying to tech-tranfer with Ukraine. They have a ton of other...
