Gary Goldberg, President/CEO of Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM), said the company’s key Batu Hijau mine in Indonesia is on track for a restart. The location has been tied up in a dispute over exports with the Indonesian government and was temporarily shut down.
Goldberg, speaking at the Denver Gold Forum in Denver, Colorado, said a memorandum of understanding was signed with the Indonesian government on September 3, with export shipping expected to begin upon receipt of the export permit. The mine and mill is expected to be operating at full capacity within eight weeks of that, Goldberg said.
