KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Three coal mines in Kalimantan operated by PT Tanito Harum have to suspend operations after the government revoked the firm’s extended contract that was supposed to be valid for the next 20 years after the contract extension was deemed against the law. The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry’s coal and mineral director general, Bambang Gatot Ariyono, said on Wednesday that the decision to terminate the permit was made in accordance with the law. “If the permit is terminated, subsequently it must be returned to the state,” he told press on the sidelines of a hearing in the House of Representatives.
