Indonesia emerging coal mining company PT Baramutiara Prima has allocated US$ 6 million for capital expenditure in 2013 to finance the development of its coal mining business in Musi Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra.

Sri Kuncoro Sardianto, Director of External Relations at PT Baramutiara Prima told Petromindo.com recently that most of the capex spendings are allocated for developing jetty facility with a loading capacity about 1,000 tons per hour at Sungai Lilin, and for developing hauling infrastructure.
