JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) through the Director General of Mineral and Coal Tri Winarno denied the news that it had granted additional permits for the Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) quota for Weda Bay Nickel of 25 million tons.
"There is news that Weda Bay can receive an additional 25 million tons. Well, until now Weda Bay if it applies yes, but there is no approval until now. I don't know where the news is from," said Tri when met at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Office, Friday, August 7.
Tri said that in fact, mining companies are free to apply for any production quota they want, but the authority to grant quotas remains in the hands of the government.
"What is proposed, what he wants is as high as possible. But please, as high as possible," explained Tri.
Furthermore, Tri also said that the government held the principle that mineral resources should not be wasted so that the granting of production quotas was considered carefully.
On the other hand, Tri said his party was reluctant to provide the total production volume in order to maintain the stability of the price of mineral commodities and coal so that it remains competitive.
"Minister (ESDM Bahlil Lahadalia) said, for the difficult numbers we said that," said Tri.
