The Weda Bay Project mine located in Maluku, Indonesia was by far the leading nickel mine worldwide in terms of production volume in 2023. Owned by Tsingshan Holding Group, the mine produced an estimated 516,700 metric tons of nickel that year. That was over five times as much as the PT Halmahera Persada Lygend Project mine, also located in Indonesia, which was the second-highest nickel producing mine that year.
