The Telen Orbit Prima mine encompasses a total area of 4,897 hectares, and consists of five mining blocks: Bisa, Pompot, Buhut, Julukan and Sepotak.

According to Turangga Resources, the mine’s products, also known as TOP Green Coals, have prominent environmentally-friendly features such as low sulfur, low nitrogen and low boron. These specifications contribute to reducing Flue-Gas Desulfurization (FGD) equipment installation and maintenance costs in line with the current environmental regulations.
