JAKARTA PT Global Bara Mandiri (GBM) stated that it is the valid holder of the Production Operation Mining Business Permit (IUP OP) for the mining land it manages.
GBM also denied having transferred the right to PT Putra Borneo Mandiri (PBM), as circulated in a number of reports.
GBM lawyers, Maraden Saddad and Yoseph Pardede from the law office of Arfa Gunawan & Partners (AGP) said GBM is currently in good faith and voluntarily implements the South Jakarta District Court Decision Number 356 / Pdt.G / 2022 / PN JKT.SEL Jo.
Jakarta High Court Decision Number 99 / PDT / 2023 / PT DKI Jo. Supreme Court Cassation Decision Number 475 K / Pdt / 2024 which has permanent legal force.
Where in the 2024 court decision GBM is of the opinion that there will be no more cooperation between GBM and PBM.
Regarding the submission of GBM's IUP OP documents to PBM on April 21, 2025 through the South Jakarta District Court Confiscation Officer, GBM explained that this was done solely as a form of respect and good faith for the 2021 court decision.
The document was requested for IPPKH management purposes, but in reality, the IPPKH which should have been taken care of by PBM has actually taken care of its own GBM and was published on February 6, 2019. Related to this, GBM has asked for the return of the GBM IUP-OP and PBM has not responded when asked to return the GBM IUP-OP," explained Yoseph Pardede in a written statement.
The submission of physical documents for the GBM OP IUP cannot be used as a basis for ownership by PBM.
"GBM backs up its legal rights against those who try to control or enter the GBM mining area without permission," he continued.
As a follow-up, the GBM team of lawyers has sent an official letter to PBM containing objections to PBM's actions asking GBM to stop mining activities and vacate its mining area.
"We appeal to all parties to respect the law and not to be provoked by misleading claims," he concluded.
