JAKARTA - PT Aneka Tambang (Persero) Tbk (ANTM) officially signed a land sale and purchase agreement with the Java Integrated Industrial and Ports Estate (JIIPE) in Gresik, East Java.

The transaction was carried out on December 27, 2024, as a strategic step indicating ANTAM's commitment to supporting the downstreaming of national minerals, especially in the construction of a precious metal processing plant, and indicating that the state-owned company will operate in the JIIPE area.

Antam's Director of Business Development, I Dewa Wirantaya, said that Antam's entry at JIIPE also supports the use of integrated infrastructure that has been designated as National Vital Objects (Obvitnas).

According to him, the selection of JIIPE as a development location was carried out with strategic location considerations, proximity to raw materials, and high security guarantees.

JIIPE's status as a National Vital Object provides an extraordinary level of security to support our operational process, from processing raw materials to distribution. This is one of our main considerations in choosing this location," said Dewa.

He conveyed that the presence of PT Freeport Indonesia's smelter at JIIPE also provided additional benefits for ANTAM. That's because his party can directly access pure gold raw materials with a range of 99.99 percent from Freeport.

This also allows ANTAM to save the country's foreign exchange through reducing imports and increasing the use of domestic products.

Furthermore, in addition to security factors, JIIPE also offers world-class infrastructure that supports Antam's operational efficiency.

"JIIPE provides good infrastructure facilities, easy access to transportation, and reliable utilities. This allows us to support downstreaming, strengthening the national economy, and spur sustainable industrial growth," said Dewa.

In addition, he said that through this collaboration, Antam and JIIPE showed strong synergy in supporting mineral downstreaming, operational efficiency, and sustainable economic development in the country.
