Indonesia resumes metal concentrate exports after 6-month halt
By Wilda Asmarini
JAKARTA, July 18 (Reuters) – Indonesia has resumed exports of metal ore concentrates, a mining ministry official said, ending a six-month stoppage resulting from a new policy to improve returns on resources shipped out of southeast Asia’s largest economy.
Indonesia in January banned unprocessed ore exports and levied an escalating tax on metal concentrate exports as part of the policy to force miners to build smelters and process minerals domestically.
Disputes and confusion over the rules halted about $500 million of monthly mineral ore and concentrate exports. Prior to the ban, Indonesia was the world’s top exporter of nickel ore and a major supplier of iron ore and bauxite.
However, last week shipments of iron ore, lead and zinc concentrate left the country after two firms agreed to pay a 20 percent export tax, coal and minerals director-general Sukhyar told reporters late on Friday.
“There are two firms that have started to export; Sebuku Iron Lateritic Ores (SILO), and Lumbung Mineral Sentosa,” Sukhyar said, adding that SILO had sent two shipments or around 100,000 tonnes of iron ore concentrate and Lumbung had shipped around 8,000 tonnes of lead and zinc concentrate already.
“They finally wanted to pay it,” Sukhyar said, referring to the escalating tax that has been rejected by U.S. miners Newmont Mining Corp and Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc , and is now the subject of a contract dispute awaiting international arbitration.

No slacking you guys. Come to the Oasis. Walk to the light … 
Welcome to the Oasis!
I guess I am in. I thought something was up when there was no tentathon for this year at the other site. Perhaps someday I will find out what happened. This site seems well done.
A big welcome to goldielocks, silvertri, Maya, Blindrn, Nemo, Portugeezer, Deadeye, Warren and Samb! 🙂
Maya … Your last pics at GT … LOL!
That sure is peaceful country-have a safe and good journey!
Sad to hear about the reason for need to change. It brings to mind the bigger picture where it seems we all need to opt out of the status quo and start something else to be able to stick together. Thanks to all concerned for taking the initiative.
Thanks for the chart. I think it’s going to be a good rest of the year for the Goldbugs. In spite of the paper pushing banksters.
Best, Farmboy
Don’t let Wanka fool you. He had to re-edit my edit! 🙂
Can’t compete with Nemo’s spread but here’s your coffee as requested.
Tip of the hat to Wanka, Ipso and Florida. That E-Mail explaination from Wanka Was constrained, informative and wonderfully constructed.
This one aint as good as yours, but I guess it will do for now.
Faithful indeed. Now we have to do something about this ” I don’t post…” (grin)
Welcome to your New Home. Proud to have you at the Oasis !
Best, Farmboy
Is that a map I see on the table ? Guess you can put it away, you have made it to the Oasis. And looks like you are quick to figure out the posting and finding your way around our New Home.
Well Done !

Here is the breakfast!!
NEMO
That shipment of coffee should hold us for awhile. RNO & Goldcountry have plenty enough to feed us.
Life Is Good At The Oasis !
