Juloi Northwest coal project was a proposed opencast mine, operated by Adaro Metcoal Companies (AMC), Adaro Energy, and part of the IndoMet Coal Project, located 90 km west of Lampunut, Murung Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The mine project has since been shelved.[1]
Location
The map below shows the approximate location of the Juloi mine site northwest of Puruk Cahu, Murung Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia.[1]
Background
Juloi Coal is part of the IndoMet Coal Project. In May 2016, the IndoMet Coal project is held by a joint venture between Australia-based mining giant BHP Billiton (75%) and Indonesia-listed mining company PT Adara Energy Tbk. (25%). However, in June of 2016, BHP Billiton sold its shares in IndoMet Coal to Adaro Energy.[2]
According to a fact sheet written by a coalition of environmental groups, IndoMet is "a series of massive coal mines that would destroy primary rainforest, deprive indigenous peoples of their customary land, and pollute water sources relied on by up to 1 million people."[3]
