Pre-IPO. Revenue-generating. North America's only pure-play access to the world's #1 nickel-producing region.
Nusa Nickel Corp offers North American investors direct exposure to Indonesia's dominant nickel district at the pre-IPO stage, with a company that is already generating revenue.
Indonesia produces 60-65% of global nickel supply. The Nickel Island Project IUP permit covers 2,641 hectares in Central Sulawesi, surrounded by 65+ active smelters within 170km. The IPP Nickel Traders License held by PT Nusa Niaga Corp creates a second, scalable revenue stream independent of mine output.
The company generated approximately $342,000 CAD in initial operating revenues within 15 months of commencing operations, demonstrating that the model works before any capital raise.
Request PresentationWorld's largest nickel producer. Lowest-cost laterite production. Pro-mining government. Core of global battery and stainless supply chains. Indonesia is not a peripheral market, it IS the market.
Nickel is the backbone of stainless steel and the linchpin of battery chemistry. Price up 23% year-over-year. Supply tightening. Demand from EVs and defense growing structurally.
9 distinct differentiators. Revenue before going public. Dual production and trading licenses. Strategic location. Capital-efficient model. Canadian-owned platform with full North American access.
On November 21, 2025, Genesis Acquisition Corp entered a Business Combination Agreement with Nusa Nickel Corp. This reverse merger is Nusa Nickel's path to public markets, providing North American investors with exchange-listed access to the company's operations.
The transaction brings Nusa Nickel's dual production-trading platform to the public markets at a stage where the business is already generating revenue, a rare combination for a critical minerals pre-IPO.
Request Investor UpdateFour reinforcing structural advantages make Indonesia's position in global nickel markets a multi-decade reality, not a temporary cycle.
Indonesia holds the world's largest known nickel reserves at over 21 million tonnes, more than double the next largest holder. This is not a marginal lead. It is a structural moat that no other country can close in a generation.
The reserves are concentrated in Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua, with the laterite ore bodies close to the surface and highly amenable to hydrometallurgical processing. Indonesia's geology is not just abundant, it is commercially exceptional.
Indonesia has invested tens of billions of dollars in smelting infrastructure over the last decade, primarily Chinese-financed Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) and High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) facilities.
This smelting buildout was catalyzed by Indonesia's 2020 ore export ban, which forced value-added processing to happen in-country. The result is a fully integrated nickel supply chain from mine to battery-grade product, all within Indonesia.
The Morowali Industrial Park alone covers 4,000+ hectares and hosts over 50 smelters. The infrastructure moat is enormous. Building comparable capacity elsewhere would take 15-20 years and hundreds of billions of capital.
Indonesia's government has deliberately and strategically used its resource position to force value-add processing within the country. The 2020 nickel ore export ban was the pivotal move, effectively eliminating raw ore exports and making Indonesia's processing infrastructure the only route to market.
Annual quotas now tighten feedstock supply intentionally. In 2026, the 260-270 million tonne quota falls well below the 340-350 million tonne smelter demand, pushing prices upward and prioritizing licensed Indonesian operators like PT Nusa Niaga Corp.
The 2026 US-Indonesia trade deal, finalizing reciprocal tariff eliminations, further embeds Indonesia as the preferred critical mineral supply chain partner for North American end markets.
As Western nations race to secure non-Chinese critical mineral supply chains, Indonesia's strategic position has become a key diplomatic and commercial priority. The 2026 US-Indonesia trade deal is a direct expression of this alignment.
For North American automakers and battery manufacturers facing pressure to reduce Chinese supply chain exposure, Indonesia represents the only viable alternative at scale for nickel feedstock. There is no other geography that combines reserves, processing infrastructure, and government policy alignment at this volume.
North American capital has been slow to access this opportunity. Nusa Nickel is uniquely positioned as the gateway: a Canadian-headquartered operator with boots-on-the-ground presence in Central Sulawesi and an existing trading license.
Nickel is essential across multiple industries, and two of its largest end markets, stainless steel and EV batteries, are both growing simultaneously.
NMC and NCA battery chemistries require nickel for high energy density. More range per charge means more nickel per vehicle. Battery-grade demand from EVs is the fastest-growing segment.
Still the largest single use of nickel at approximately 70% of all consumption. Growing global infrastructure, construction, and industrial production underpin continued baseline demand.
Grid-scale energy storage systems for renewable integration require nickel-containing battery chemistries. As solar and wind penetration rises, storage demand grows in lockstep.
Nickel superalloys are essential for jet turbine blades and other high-temperature applications. Aviation recovery and defence spending provide resilient demand that doesn't track the EV cycle.
Global nickel demand currently stands at approximately 3.2 million tonnes per year. By 2035, the International Energy Agency projects demand to reach 5.2 million tonnes, driven primarily by EV battery manufacturing.
The supply side cannot keep pace. New mine development takes 10-15 years from discovery to production. The capital investment pipeline is insufficient for the projected demand curve. This is a structural supply deficit, not a temporary imbalance.
Indonesia's smelting capacity positions it to capture the lion's share of this growth. Licensed traders like PT Nusa Niaga Corp, operating within Indonesia's quota system with direct smelter relationships, are best positioned to benefit as demand tightens supply.
Nickel has recovered sharply after a 2024-2025 trough. Entering the cycle recovery with operational assets positions investors ahead of the next price surge.
Global EV penetration is moving from early adopter to mainstream. Each percentage point of market share gain represents millions of additional vehicles requiring battery nickel.
Nusa Nickel is approaching public markets via a SPAC transaction with Genesis Acquisition Corp. Pre-IPO positioning in a revenue-generating operator is rare in the critical minerals sector.
Most critical mineral companies are pre-revenue exploration plays. Nusa Nickel operates differently. We are a producing and trading operator with demonstrated commercial relationships, an Indonesian trading license that took years to obtain, and a path to public markets through the Genesis Acquisition Corp transaction.
We didn't set out to build a story. We set out to build a business. The revenue track record, the trading license, the smelter relationships, the permit, the team on the ground. That is the differentiated opportunity we are bringing to North American capital markets.
