Wednesday, May 1 2013 - 04:29 AM WIB

IDX-listed PT Bumi Resources Minerals Tbk (BRMS) said that production of copper and gold dropped in the first quarter due to the on-going development of the phase 6 at the Batu Hijau mine site.

It said the development of Batu Hijau site contributed to the temporary decline income to Newmont Nusa Tenggara.

The Batu Hijau mine site is expected to ramp up production upon the completion of phase 6 development.

The company said that despite this temporary production drop, throughout the year 2012, BRMS showed operational progress in such projects as the Dairi Prima's zinc and lead concession secured the underground mining approval from the government and the Gorontalo Mineral's copper and gold project reported significant JORC resource estimate of 292 million tons of ores.

BRMS is a multi-minerals mining company which is listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Through its subsidiaries, BRMS owns 18% stake in NNT, 80% stake in Dairi Prima Mineral, and 80% stake in Gorontalo Minerals.
