REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has set itself the target of revising 11 contracts of work (KK) this year.
"As many as 11 companies have not agreed to the revision of KK, and 32 companies have not agreed to the revision of coal mining contracts (PKP2K). We have set ourselves the target of revising all of them in 2017," Director General of Mineral and Coal Bambang Gatot Ariyono said here on Wednesday.
He made it clear that the ministry has signed 44 KKs, and two of them have turned into special mining permits.
In addition, it also has signed 12 other KKs, bringing the number of KKs already approved to 21, he stated.
He noted that 74 companies hold PKP2B and four of them have been accepted. One company is in the process of shutting down mining activities. Accordingly, the number of revised PKP2Bs is 37.
The revision of KKs and PKP2B is based on the mandate of Law No. 4/2009 concerning mineral and coal mining. The KKs that have been in place before the law takes effect will remain valid until the termination of the contracts.
