PT KALTIM PRIMA COAL (KPC)
Participants will visit KPC’s operations around Sangatta in the East Kutai Regency (Kutim), north of Balikpapan. The KPC operation comprises the Sangatta and Bengalon mines, both mined directly by KPC and contractors. There are a number of operating pits. The Sangatta mine has marketable reserves of 1,319 million metric tonnes. The Bengalon mine, exploited since 2005 by contractors, has marketable reserves of 226 million metric tonnes. Delegates will then visit the Sangatta mine area and processing plants before proceeding to the port at Tanjung Bara, which is linked to the Sangatta region by a 13-km long overland conveyor.

This close proximity of all the mines to their respective ports provides KPC with the advantage of low mine to port transportation costs.
