Gorontalo Minerals Aims for 2026 Production with Local Community Engagement

PT Gorontalo Minerals (GM), the Contract of Work (CoW) holder for a 24,995-hectare mining concession in Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo, recently held a socialization session on Environmental Impact Analysis (Amdal) for the community surrounding the mine. The event provided a platform for the company to present its long-term plans, including its strong commitment to local community empowerment.

Didik B. Hatmoko, Senior Manager of PT Gorontalo Minerals, explained that the company is currently focusing on exploration activities at the Sungai Mak and Cabang Kiri locations.

From the exploration results, GM has reported a JORC Resource Estimate of 392 million tonnes, with a grade of 0.49% Cu and 0.43 g/t Au, spread across several strategic locations such as Sungai Mak, Cabang Kiri, Kayu Bulan, and Motomboto.

With promising resource potential, the company targets earth mineral production in 2026.

Didik emphasized that this plan would be a great opportunity for the local community to get directly involved.

"Local communities will be empowered, for example, through employee recruitment, as suppliers, or through business-to-business collaborations with companies," said Didik.

He also added that GM's construction and production permits were approved in February 2019, which provides a three-year construction period and a 30-year production period until 2052. This demonstrates the company's seriousness in carrying out its operations sustainably and in accordance with applicable regulations.

"We are ready to cooperate with all parties, as long as we do not violate laws and regulations," he concluded, demonstrating the company's commitment to operating transparently and building harmonious relationships with the local community.
