Mining & Extractive Industries: Unleashing Potential in Indonesia

Situated on the equator and surrounded by the grandeur of volcanoes, Indonesia is a rich mineral repository. Since the onset of the new millennium, our nation has witnessed an unparalleled upswing in the mining industry, elevating it to a cornerstone of the Indonesian economy.

The convergence of mining and infrastructure is not merely a phrase for us; it constitutes the essence of our legal proficiency. At ARKO Law, our dedicated team possesses knowledge and extensive experience, adeptly serving mining entities across the spectrum of size and scale. Whether guiding junior mining ventures in the early phases of exploration, holders of IUP, or supporting international industry players holding mining concessions under the 'Contract of Works' framework, our expertise spans this vital landscape.

Mining Expertise

Our mining team takes pride in actively participating in re-negotiating the 'Contract of Works,' adapting mining concessions from the old authorities to align seamlessly with the current Mining Law. We offer comprehensive assistance, including permitting, mineral title acquisition, strategic alliance and JV agreements, early-stage exploration, operational production, land and indigenous rights, smelters and refinery, and project closure. Beyond operational facets, we excel in helping clients raise capital for mining operations and facilitate mergers and acquisitions of mining assets. 

Notably, our lawyers are acknowledged leaders in the realm of mining law. Collaborating with esteemed organizations like the Indonesia Mining Professionals (PERHAPI) and the Indonesia Mining Institute, we've contributed to white papers and proposal drafts, shaping amendments to the 2009 Mining Law. Our involvement extends to formulating national Mining Policies and engaging with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. We proudly share our insights at mining conferences, bridging the gap between government and private sectors.
