JAKARTA - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif revealed that the mining management permit proposed by Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) is in the administrative process.
Arifin ensured that the Special Mining Business Permit (IUPK) for NU could be issued this year.
"(NU mining permits) are being taken care of, in the administrative process. I think so (it will be this year)," Arifin told the media crew Wednesday, June 19.
Arifin said that later mining permits by religious organizations would be given based on the recommendations of the Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Agency (BKPM), while mining permits from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
"Recommendations from the Ministry of Investment. The mine remains with us (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources)," continued Arifin.
Just so you know, the government has prepared 6 lands for the former Coal Mining Concession Work Agreement (PKP2B) to be managed by religious community organizations (ormas) as stated in PP number 25 of 2024.
The mining land consists of former PKP2B PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC), PT Arutmin Indonesia, PT Kendilo Coal Indonesia, PT Adaro Energy Tbk, PT Multi Harapan Utama (MAU), and PT Kideco Jaya Agung.
