PT. Wanatiara Persada's lateritic nickel ore project is the first overseas project completely designed and constructed by Jinchuan Group since the company implemented its international operations. In November 2019, the first ship of ferronickel was successfully sold and all production and operation processes were completed. The completion of the project has provided over 2,000 jobs for the local people and promoted the development of the local economy. Over 6 million yuan has been donated to local religious beliefs, cultural dissemination, villagers' health, early education, planting and breeding and other public welfare activities. The project has also been listed by the National Development and Reform Commission as a key project of international production capacity cooperation between China and Indonesia under the Belt and Road initiative, and won the 2019 award for overseas image building of Chinese enterprises in the "7th Chinese Enterprise Overseas Image Summit".

In addition, the Kinsenda Copper Company achieved improvements in its mining and beneficiation capacity in 2022, with all production technical indicators hitting new records. Over the years, while promoting project construction, the company has also taken action to support local social and economic construction. Over 1,600 jobs have been provided, and $19.04 million invested in the local community. Its 500-hectare farm not only provides food for employees and their families free of charge every year, but also provides technical guidance and agricultural training for nearby communities, providing an important guarantee for the food security of local residents.
