Until the quarter I / 2019, the overburden removal volume reached 12.8 million bcm, while coal production amounted to 3.1 million tons.

This year's profit projection is lower than the previous year's realization of USD30.92 million. "We hope the increase in [income and profit] from organic, not additional income as in 2018. We received a substantial increase due to fuel compensation and distance.The average hauling distance for overburden removal activities increased from an average of 4.5 km, in a few months it had become 7.5 km from the mine location to the dump area, "he said.

According to Samindo Resources Independent Director, Ahmad Saleh, the company is eyeing a new contract from the mine site in Jambi along with the company that obtains business licenses outside East Kalimantan. Meanwhile, the potential for coal production volume is 1 million tons - 2 million tons per year. "There are opportunities outside of East Kalimantan that will contribute to the achievement of our performance," he said.
