Firstly, we received a 5-year permit extension for our deep sea tailingsplacement process approved and signed by the Minister of the Environment.This permit does contain some criteria and parameters that are different tothe 2007 permit, but we are confident with this permit we can continue tooperate our business at optimum levels.Secondly, on Friday (6/5), there was a formal signing between the IndonesianGovernment, represented by PIP (Investment Agency) and PTNNT, for the final7% shares required to be divested as per our CoW. This means that PTNNThas now completed all of its obligations to the Indonesian Government relatedto divesture.

And thirdly, PTNNT and the Sumbawa regency government signed the MoU for resumption of exploration activity at Elang andother locations on Wednesday (11/5). Following the signing, we will resume exploration activity and work on a schedule tohave drilling underway at Elang in Q3 this year.

All of these great outcomes are the direct result of your hard work, dedication, and persistent effort. The External Relations,EnvSuara Batu Hijau accepts any stories, articles, photos and cartoons from employees.

Pancor Kopong receives clean water facility assistance

The people of Pancor Kopong BaratHamlet, Masbagik Utara BaruVillage,East Lombok can now

breathe freely. This was because they nowcan consume the clean water that theyused to see running way below theirkampong.

PTNNT, using CSR fund, constructed apipeline, hydrant pipe and a reservoir thatworth Rp100 million. The clean waterfacility can supply 1.5 liters per second to215 families of the hamlet that is locatedabout 500 meters from the spring.

Ali Sadikin, PTNNT Community Develop-ment Special Project Manager officiallyhanded over the assistance to Khairul IhsanAMd, Masbagik Utara Baru Village Chief (8/4). The handover marked the completion ofthe assistance construction work.

Ali expected that the people should notonly be proud of the clean water facilityconstruction, but they should also maintainand take care of it such that it can be

serviceable for a long time and providebenefits for the community as much aspossible.

Meanwhile, Khairun Ihsan, on behalf ofPancor Kopong community, thanked PTNNTfor its awareness. “The clean water facility isreally a surprise to us. The clean waterproject, without PTNNT's support, wouldnot be possible to reach our village,” he saidin front of his people.

He described that staying close to a springdoes not always mean having abundantwater. The proof is that Pancor KopongBarat Hamlet for years could only see otherregions enjoy the freshness of the springcoming from their hamlet. “We can under-stand that as the location of Pancor KopongHamlet is higher than the spring that is inan adjacent location,” said Marzuki, acommunity figure of the hamlet.

The total population of East Lombok regency is equal to that of the six regencies and cities on the island of Sumba-

wa. Therefore, social issues in the region arerelatively more complex than those in otherregions in NTB.

Some of the main issues that the region isfacing as described by the Regent H SukimanAzmy are limited facilities and road infra-

structure, electrical power and clean waternetwork.

In view of this, PTNNT recently providedassistance in the form of vehicles, including 2clean water trucks, 3 garbage trucks, 1 minibus and 4 motorcycles totaling of Rp1.8billion.

“On behalf of East Lombok community, wethank PTNNT and hope that such assistance

E. Lombok govt receives vehicles worth Rp1.8bwill not stop here. We actually requested afire truck, but it is so expensive,” the RegentSukiman said following the signing theAssistance Handover Official Report at hisoffice, Monday (25/4). The vehicles weredirectly handed over to related RegionalGovernment Work Units.

PTNNT's Manager Senior ExternalRelations Arif Perdanakusumah thanked theEast Lombok government and people fortheir continued support and cooperation todate.

“The assistance is inseparable from thecompany's social responsibility programs. Wehope that the vehicles will be used optimallyto improve public services in the regency,” hestated.

PTNNT has run its operations for over 11years. During the period, the company andthe local government have maintained goodrelationship through various social responsi-bility programs. The company also partnerswith the regency government in operatingthe company's dedicated jetty for the boatthat transports its employees to the projectarea. “Hopefully, we will continue to havegood relationship with the East Lombokgovernment and community in the future,”Arif concluded.
