Smelter in Gresik East Java
Yunus explained that the five-year leased land was in the Gresik industrial area, East Java, which had been planned at the location to build a smelter. Previously, the progress of the construction of mining mineral processing and refining sites or smelters from PT Freeport Indonesia was informed that there were still around 3.86%. The smelter is targeted to be completed by the end of 2022.
For information, the Government has issued Law (UU) Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining (Minerba) which requires mining companies to purify to increase the added value of mining products. UU no. 4/2009 this requires It is true that mining management is not permissible only by exporting raw materials, but must be processed domestically in order to provide economic added value for the country, environmental management, and welfare of the local community.
The government will ensure the company builds processing and refining facilities (smelters). Through an independent veryficator team, the government will evaluate the progress of the smelter construction at least every six months. If the development is not in accordance with what was submitted to the government, the export permit will be revoked.
