The government needs to prepare itself if the divestment agreement, special mining business permit (IUPK) and smelter development with PT Freeport Indonesia do not immediately come to light. The government should not be afraid to let go of Freeport when the company contract originating from Uncle Sam's country runs out in 2021.
Vice Chairman of House Commission VII Herman Khaeron rate, even without Freeport, the government will be able to manage the world's largest gold mine located in Tembagapura, Mimika, Papua.
the world's largest gold mine
The assessment is based on the experience of PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara which has taken over Newmont Mining Corporation, a mining company that manages a gold mine in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara.
"We have been able to." Just how will be given to whom, BUMN or in cooperation with private, "said Herman in Jakarta.
The government should not be afraid if Freeport sues the government to the International Arbitration Board. The government should be able to ensure that all agreements made are appropriate and not harmful to both parties.
"We have given a chance, until 2021. We have given a deadline since 2017, but the commitment of the smelter alone is not realized," he said.
Freeport Executive Director Tony Wenas said it has begun the initial phase of smelter development in Gresik, East Java, in the form of feasibility studies and environmental studies. Development was targeted to be completed in January 2022.
Earlier, Minister of ESDM Ignasius Ionan said that according to President Joko Widodo the Freeport divestment process was completed in April 2018. The government will buy Freeport shares at fair price. The government is unlikely to wait until the end of the 2021 contract because it means having to pay the book value of all Freeport investments. In addition, Freeport still has the right to apply for an extension.

Indonesia Mampu Kelola Tambang Grasberg
Pemerintah perlu mempersiapkan diri jika kesepakatan terkait divestasi, izin usaha pertambangan khusus (IUPK) dan pembangunan smelter dengan PT Freeport Indonesia tidak segera menemui titik terang. Pemerintah tidak perlu takut untuk merelakan kepergian Freeport ketika kontrak perusahaan yang berasal dari Negeri Paman Sam itu habis pada 2021 mendatang.
Wakil Ketua Komisi VII DPR Herman Khaeron menilai, sekalipun tanpa Freeport, pemerintah sudah akan mampu mengelola tambang emas terbesar dunia yang terletak di Tembagapura, Mimika, Papua, itu.
Penilaian itu didasarkan pada pengalaman PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara yang telah mengambil alih Newmont Mining Corporation, perusahaan pertambangan yang mengelola tambang emas di Sumbawa, Nusa Tenggara Barat.
“Kita sudah mampu". Hanya bagaimana nanti diberikan kepada siapa, BUMN atau dikerjasamakan dengan swasta,” ujar Herman di Jakarta.
Pemerintah pun tidak perlu takut jika Freeport menggugat pemerintah ke Badan Arbitrase Internasional. Pemerintah seharusnya mampu meyakinkan seluruh kesepakatan yang dibuat sudah tepat dan tidak merugikan kedua belah pihak.
“Kita sudah beri kesempatan, waktu sampai 2021. Kita sudah memberikan tenggat sejak 2017, tetapi komitmen smelter saja tidak direlaisasikan,” ucapnya.
Direktur Eksekutif Freeport Tony Wenas menyatakan pihaknya telah memulai pengerjaan tahap awal pembangunan smelter di Gresik, Jawa Timur, berupa studi kelaikan dan studi lingkungan. Pembangunan pun ditargetkan rampung pada Januari 2022.
Sebelumnya, Menteri ESDM Ignasius Ionan mengatakan bahwa sesuai arahan Presiden Joko Widodo proses divestasi Freeport selesai pada April 2018. Pemerintah akan membeli saham Freeport dengan harga wajar. Pemerintah tidak mungkin menunggu hingga akhir kontrak 2021 karena berarti harus membayar nilai buku dari semua investaei Freeport. Selain itu, Freeport masih memiliki hak mengajukan perpanjangan.
