MINING company Silkroad Nickel, which is expected to start trading on Monday, wants to sell the ore from its Indonesian concession to overseas customers, among its other growth plans.

It has started applying for an export quota for low-grade nickel ore, which it hopes to receive by year-end, according to a statement on Saturday. The group now sells domestically with production from a 1,300-hectare concession area in Sulawesi.
