PT Freeport Indonesia will certainly build a built smelter in Gresik, East Java. The smelter land will be located in the Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE) area of Gresik Regency, East Java.
Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE)
For information, JIIPE is an 1,800 hectare industrial area integrated with ports, developed by PT Berlian Jasa Terminal Indonesia, a subsidiary of PT Pelindo III (Persero), PT Usaha Era Pratama Nusantara, and a subsidiary of PT Aneka Kimia Raya Corporindo Tbk (AKRA).
Tony Wenas
Freeport Indonesia's Managing Director Tony Wenas said that currently the construction of the smelter in Gresik has reached 3.68 percent until February 2019.
"The location of the smelter is in Gresik, JIIPE land owned by Pelindo III and AKR Corp," Tony said.
He explained, the investment to be spent on the smelter project reached 2.8 billion US dollars with loans from inside and outside banks country.
"We are also open with partners and now many banks are interested," he said.
Tony said the investment smelter and long-term investment were separated. Because, for long-term investment until 2041 with a value of 16 billion US dollars, Freeport and Inalum only do it. While investment smelters can be with any partner. "
"For smelter fields that have matured 35 hectares, some are four months ahead. This is done in parallel," he added.
The land requirement for this smelter reaches 100 ha.

Tony also said that the Directorate General of Mineral and coal and the DPR's entourage had seen the location of the Freeport smelter. So that hope can be quickly completed.
"By the end of 2022 the smelter will be finished and the concentrate export will be stopped, because it has been processed domestically," he said.
Ignasius Jonan
Meanwhile ESDM Minister Ignasius Jonan explained, the final result of this Freeport mining was 99.9 percent in the form of copper concentrate. Well, after that enter into industrialization.
"It's easiest to make electrical cables. This is a big challenge for industrialization so that the electricity cables don't continue to import," he said.
