The reshuffle within Freeport's management body is also aimed at achieving the targets that have been announced. This year, the government through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources targets investment in the mineral and coal sector to reach the US $ 7.7 billion.
ESDM Ministry's Mineral and Coal Director General Bambang Gatot Ariyono explained the increase in investment is expected to continue to climb up to the next 2022 in line with smelter construction.
"This year amounted to 7.7 billion US dollars because it included smelters owned by Amman Minerals and Freeport Indonesia. Investment this year also contributed to the investment allocation for the development of the Freeport Indonesia underground mine," Bambang said.
Bambang said, investment this year was still dominated by the downstream mineral and coal sector. According to him, currently, the investment allocation for exploration activities has not been passionate. That, according to him, became a challenge for the government to create an attractive investment climate. In the past year, the realization of investment in the mineral sector reached 105 percent of the work plan and Budget [RKAB] 2019.
