FREEPORT GOLD MINE
Currently PT Freeport Indonesia is the subject of a debate about the fate of its investment in Papua. In Papua, Freeport manages the world's largest gold and copper-producing underground mine. Freeport says its underground mine is the world's highest-tech mine.
The location of the Freeport underground mine is located just below the legendary Grasberg mine. The Grasberg gold and copper reserves will be exhausted this year and the open mine runs out in 2019. Freeport is developing an underground mine and will invest up to US $ 15 billion.
But the company from the United States (US) requires the certainty of a contract extension that will expire 2021, to be extended to 2041. Due to the development of this underground mine according to Freeport to more than 2021. Freeport underground mine distance is about half an hour from the city of Tembagapura, with uphill track in the mountains.
There are currently 3 Freeport underground mines already in operation. The underground mines are Big Gossan, Deep Ore Zone (DOZ), and Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ). For Big Gossan is currently very selective production and not much.
While the DOZ, which began operating since 2010, production of ore (mineral rocks) containing copper, gold, and silver reaches 60,000 tons per day. The peak has reached 80,000 tons per day. While Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) is a mainstay in the Freeport underground mine, its first production is on September 15, 2015.
Freeport's underground mine is quite large, the entrance of two tunnels that fit into the car, even a large truck. Many of the hallways are inside. This mine site is about 1.6 km below Grasberg which is 4,200 meters above sea level.Workers of the underground mining division there are about 4,000 employees. Of that amount, 98% of local employees. In fact, according to Freeport, 80% of employees in the lower divisions of the realm are fresh graduate young people aged under 40 years.
For the entire road in this underground mine is 500 km long, or approximately like the distance from Jakarta to Surabaya. Unlike the ancient mines seen on television. The mine is equipped with office space facilities, clean toilets, even to places of worship with a capacity of hundreds of people. There are mosques and churches built side-by-side in the DLMZ mine.
Until 2015, Freeport has invested US $ 2.4 billion or approximately Rp 32 trillion for this DLMZ mine. DMLZ will reach its peak production in 2022 of 80,000 tons of ore per day with 1,800 workers.
In addition to DLMZ, Freeport will also develop another underground mine, the GBC (Grasberg Block Caving). The mine plans to produce from July 2017 to December 2040. Its peak production reaches 160,000 tonnes of ore by 2023. This will involve 2,450 workers. The sophistication of DLMZ also lies in the operation of automatic ore-driven trucks.
These trucks are controlled from offices on the surface, like playing video games. The number of Freeport employees currently stands at 30,004, of which 97% are Indonesian.
