Under Indonesian law, foreign mining companies operating in the country are required to sell 51% of local farms again the government after 5 years of commercial operation. However, Newmont, only you will be asked to waive 17% of its subsidiary, PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT), the 20% of this entity is in the hands of a local partner. An international arbitration panel on March 31 gave a minority partner Newmont and Sumitomo Corp. a period of 180 days to sell the 17% of PTNNT to local buyers, and ruled that the companies were in default of its contract work for not complying with the schedules of divestment in the period 2006-2008.
With the Indonesian government estimated the total value at $ 4.9Bn PTNNT, Newmont and Sumitomo are locked in battle assessment INA governmet and local companies, willing to collect part of the business and gold mining companies. Approximately 10% of PTNNT is earmarked for regional governments in Sumbawa, location Company copper and gold mine in Batu Hijau, and central government have a right of preference over other PTNNT.
"We are still discussing the formula pricing "for participation in PTNNT with other government departments" Bambang Setiawan, Director General of Department of Energy and Resources Mineral "The Department is also conducting preliminary negotiations with Newmont in the sale of the unit is not yet clear whether an agreement can be reached."
Not everything is bad news for Newmont however. This week, Indonesian officials met in the field of mining rights in protected forest areas. As written before, (target = "_blank" title = "Indonesia, the long road back"> Indonesia, the long way back), the country has enormous natural resources that Indonesia is ready to operate, using the above formula to develop modern facilities in the country. Now expected to Ministers approved a decree allowing mining companies to conduct underground mining activities in areas of protected rainforest.
"The presidential decree gives legal basis to allow underground mining in protected forest areas.The current legislation only prohibits open pit mining in protected forest areas, "said Setiawan.
Information Mining and Energy Ministry show that Indonesia has exploitable reserves of nickel of 547 million tonnes, 112 million tons of bauxite and 43 million tons of copper, tin stand at 336,911 tonnes, measured in terms of refined tin, while gold reserves were 4341 tonnes,
Two other large mining also seek to take advantage of This change in the law are Rio Tinto and Freeport-McMoran.
Rio Tinto is seeking to develop a new nickel operation on the island of Sulawesi, Estimation Rio that the mine could produce up to 46,000 tonnes of nickel metal a year, the investment costs are estimated at $ 2 Bn. Sulawesi is densely forested and change in the law should mean that the company can expand its operations significantly.
Meanwhile, Freeport-McMoran has been active in Indonesia for a long time longer. PT Freeport Indonesia has operated the Grasberg mining complex since the early 70s, Grasberg is one of the world's largest producers of copper and gold single and as stated Freeport contains the largest recoverable reserves of copper and the largest single gold reserve in the world. Grassberger surface mining will continue until 2015, when the starting then sub-surface mining, according to the website of the Freeport.
Indonesia seems to be on track to attract large amounts of FDI in commodity, providing an economic boost to local populations distributed in this vast country. India and the UAE have already committed to target = "_blank" Title = "U.S. and India are couples at risk of aluminum in Indonesia"> invest $ 4bn in an aluminum smelter, with a fully integrated power and logistics last year, with the relaxation of the rules governing mining concessions, the country could benefit from expanding China's projected.
