Location
The map below shows the approximate location of BBM, near Tumbang Tuan, Sumber Barito, Murung Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.[3]
Background
The mine is owned 60% by Australian-listed Cokal Limited (previously known as Altera Resources Ltd)[4] and 40% by the Indonesian government.[5]
According to the project's feasibility study, there is a total of 261 metric tons (Mt) of coal resources of at BBM, comprised of 10.5Mt measured, 13.5Mt indicated and 237Mt inferred resources. The resources were estimated to be 90 percent coking coal and 10 percent pulverised coal injection.ref name=rambu/>
"The low ash coking coal will be produced from shallow opencut mining extraction using trucks and shovels," according to Cokal's website. "The coal will travel ~700 kilometers down the Barito River using river barging techniques."[3]
