| President Soekarno |
President Soekarno know capitalism will pounce Indonesian mining whole. So since the beginning of Sukarno did not want any foreign investors in power. He refused when the U.S. businessman trying to open the mine in Papua. 1961, Sukarno argued only 20 years later the government can issue permits foreign mining companies operate.
Means about 1981. Indonesia Soekarno sure when it already has its own mining experts to not only be houseboy, but it could be a colleague. The foreign businessmen also can not arbitrarily's natural resources. According
to historian Adam Asvi Marwan, Soekarno really wanted to Indonesia's
natural resources are managed by the nation itself. Asvi
said a filing in the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta said on December 15, 1965 a
team led by Saleh Chaerul in Cipanas Palace is discussing
nationalization of foreign companies in Indonesia. Suharto in favor of foreign investors, there came a helicopter ride.
He stated to the meeting and he disagrees Army nationalization of foreign companies that plan. "Soeharto was very brave at the time, Bung Karno also never ordered like that," said Asvi when contacted merdeka.com. In
the article titled JFK, Indonesia, CIA , and Freeport dterbitkan Probe
magazine issue of March-April, 1996, Lisa Pease wrote in early November
1965, Langbourne Williams, chairman of the board of directors of
Freeport, contact the director of Freeport, Forbes Wilson. ask whether Freeport Williams is ready to perform exploitation in Papua. Wilson almost did not believe at the question. He thinks Freeport will be difficult to get permission because Sukarno was still in power. Powers Soekarno ended after the events of September 30. General Suharto start a new regime. Once sworn in, Suharto quickly signed the promulgation of the Foreign Investment Law in 1967.
Freepot become the first foreign company contract signed Suharto. since that's Freeport Papua's natural resources. Freeport
Indonesia has sold 915,000 ounces, equivalent to 28.6 tonnes of gold
and 716 million pounds (358 thousand tons) of copper from Grasberg mine
in Papua. Proceeds from sale of gold was gold sales accounted for 91 percent of its parent company.
Based
on the financial statements of Freeport McMoran, Freeport's total gold
sales of as much as 1.01 million ounces (31.6 tonnes) of gold and 3.6
billion pounds (1.8 million tonnes) of copper. Copper sales from Indonesia accounted for a fifth of similar commodities sales for its parent company. Freeport profit rose about 16 percent in the fourth quarter last year to $ 743 million (Rp 7.2 trillion). Total revenue also increased to USD 4.51 billion from USD 4.16 billion in the same period a year earlier. Ironically, Freeport only give one per cent royalty from the sale of gold and 3.75 percent respectively for copper and silver. Liability is fairly low compared to the advantages gained Freeport.
Freeport Indonesia Contract of Work in Garsberg mine will be exhausted in 2021. Freeport got the chance to extend the contract twice 10 years after the first contract duration, 30 years, ended. Freeport get mine in Mimika franchise in 1991. Will the renegotiation Indonesia will get something more? Minister
of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Wacik openly Freeport is still
reluctant to discuss the renegotiation of mining contracts.
The Indonesian government does not serve well as set Freeport. "Renegotiation
is difficult, pronounced difficult, let alone work. But we went on to
Freeport, Newmont, Vale, and other mines," Jero said during a press
conference in his office, Wednesday (22 / 5). Remarkably
Freeport, they could also deny the request of President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono, who will send the Minister of Energy and investigate
locations menakertarns landslide that killed 28 mine workers. SBY somehow when Freeport declined by only two officials.
"Initially
the minister of Energy, Labor will go to the location. But demand from
Freeport in Tembagapura, while they want to focus, concentration to
perform the task.
And beg to Jakarta so that the presence of officials
from Jakarta wait a while until the circumstances are right, "said
Yudhoyono at the Presidential Office, Jakarta, Monday (20/5). Wonderful, just reject the president's request Freeport bold. Soekarno
see if dredged tremendous natural wealth, Indonesian officials harassed
by the United States and capitalism tore Papua, Soekarno definitely
going to cry.
