INDONESIA'S DRAFT MINING LAW HINTS AT FUTURE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
 KNOWLEDGE TO ELEVATE
COALspot.com: A draft mining law published by Indonesia's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources provides useful insight into the latest policy positions of the Indonesian Government on mining business activities in the country, according to global law firm Herbert Smith Freehills and its affiliate firm Hiswara Bunjamin &Tandjung in Jakarta.
"The new draft seeks to readdress some of the more troublesome reforms introduced in the 2009 Mining Law, but while the draft is generally a positive development, it fails to properly resolve several existing issues," said Herbert Smith Freehills partner David Dawborn.
"Amendments to the 2009 Mining Law are yet to be finalized and continue to be discussed by the Indonesian House of Representatives," said Dhani Maulana Pattinggi Partner at Hiswara Bunjamin & Tandjung. "However, this new draft provides a very clear insight into the likely direction that those amendments may take, and into the eventual law that will be enacted to replace the 2009 Mining Law."
The most significant changes from the current mining law proposed by the draft are:
- Every existing Coal Contract of Work (CCOW) and Contract of Work (COW) must be converted into an Exploration or Production Operation Special Mining Business License (IUPK, which will have a validity period equal to the remaining term of the relevant CCOW/COW) within one year from the enactment of the law.
- The current exemptions to the ore export ban (due to expire on 11 January 2017) will be extended for a further five years for mining companies that already operate processing facilities and are in the process of building refining facilities.
- Tax and non-tax incentives will be granted to the holders of Production Operation Mining Licenses (IUPs) and Special Production IUPs who carry out processing/refining activities by constructing processing/refinery facilities.
- Production Operation IUPs will be granted a longer validity period if they are integrated with processing/refining facilities or a steam power plant, and will not be required to comply with the local divestment obligation until the tenth year after the commencement of production operation activities.
- Production Operation IUP and IUPK holders with foreign shareholders can satisfy their share divestment obligations through an initial public offering on the Indonesian stock exchange.
- The operation of actual mining exploitation activities may be able to be sub-contracted by a mining company to a mining contractor which holds a Mining Services Business Licence (Izin Usaha JasaPertambangan or IUJP, currently controversially prohibited under the 2009 Mining Law).
- Consistent with the Regional Autonomy Law, the elimination of the authority of local regents and/or mayors to issue mining licences.
- The mining of rare earth minerals is only permitted to be undertaken by Indonesian state-owned enterprises (BUMNs).
- Poor global economic conditions are included as a new reason to allow an IUP holder to apply for a suspension of its mining activities.
- The percentage of regional revenue from mining operations that will be distributed to the provincial governor is increased from 1% to 2%.
The full article, which will further discuss the important sections of the new draft mining law will be published on 10 August 2016.
