The government’s move to effectively restrict new smelter projects has drawn industry concern over the scope of the smelter moratorium, specifically whether it applies to companies that secured their business licenses before the new rules took effect.
The mining giant has confirmed that smelting activity at its Gresik facility has been suspended for over a month after the copper concentrate supply was disrupted due to the operational shutdown at its Grasberg mine following the mudslide incident in September, which killed seven workers.
