Background
Bharinto Ekatama mine is operated by PT Bharinto Ekatama, and owned by Indo Tambangraya Megah Tbk in Barito Utara/Kutai Barat, on the border of East Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
On January 20, 2022, Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) lifted a coal export ban for 139 coal companies found to have met 100 percent or more of their Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) — a requirement for coal producers to allocate a portion of production to Indonesia's domestic power sector. PT Bharinto Ekatama was included on this list (company No. 58), alongside other PT Indo Tambangraya Megah Tbk/Banpu-affiliated entities such as PT Trubaindo Coal Mining, confirming the mine was in active production and had met its domestic supply obligations as of that date.[11]
The mine is operated by PT Bharinto Ekatama.
