From Presdir Some good news Assalamu’alaikum wr.wb. Rekan-rekan karyawan, Dear Employees, During the last few months, we have faced so many challenges in the form of demonstrations related to share divestiture that quite drained our energy and thought. However, there are some pretty good stories among our thought tension. The stories are related to a number of key objectives of our business plan.
Martiono Hadianto, PTNNT President Director.
Firstly, we received a 5-year permit extension for our deep sea tailings placement process approved and signed by the Minister of the Environment. This permit does contain some criteria and parameters that are different to the 2007 permit, but we are confident with this permit we can continue to operate our business at optimum levels. Secondly, on Friday (6/5), there was a formal signing between the Indonesian Government, represented by PIP (Investment Agency) and PTNNT, for the final 7% shares required to be divested as per our CoW. This means that PTNNT has now completed all of its obligations to the Indonesian Government related to divesture.
And thirdly, PTNNT and the Sumbawa regency government signed the MoU for resumption of exploration activity at Elang and other locations on Wednesday (11/5). Following the signing, we will resume exploration activity and work on a schedule to have drilling underway at Elang in Q3 this year. All of these great outcomes are the direct result of your hard work, dedication, and persistent effort.

We thank each of you for that. However, big challenges are awaiting us ahead. But, be sure that we will continue to operate Batu Hijau according to all prevailing Indonesian laws and regulations, with our focus on safe and efficient production, environmental excellence and social responsibility.

T
he total population of East Lombok re gency is equal to that of the six regen cies and cities on the island of Sumbawa. Therefore, social issues in the region are relatively more complex than those in other regions in NTB. Some of the main issues that the region is facing as described by the Regent H Sukiman Azmy are limited facilities and road infra-
structure, electrical power and clean water network. In view of this, PTNNT recently provided assistance in the form of vehicles, including 2 clean water trucks, 3 garbage trucks, 1 mini bus and 4 motorcycles totaling of Rp1.8 billion. “On behalf of East Lombok community, we thank PTNNT and hope that such assistance
will not stop here. We actually requested a fire truck, but it is so expensive,” the Regent Sukiman said following the signing the Assistance Handover Official Report at his office, Monday (25/4). The vehicles were directly handed over to related Regional Government Work Units. PTNNT's Manager Senior External Relations Arif Perdanakusumah thanked the East Lombok government and people for their continued support and cooperation to date. “The assistance is inseparable from the company's social responsibility programs. We hope that the vehicles will be used optimally to improve public services in the regency,” he stated. PTNNT has run its operations for over 11 years. During the period, the company and the local government have maintained good relationship through various social responsibility programs. The company also partners with the regency government in operating the company's dedicated jetty for the boat that transports its employees to the project area. “Hopefully, we will continue to have good relationship with the East Lombok government and community in the future,” Arif concluded.
Pancor Kopong receives clean water facility assistance
T
he people of Pancor Kopong Barat Hamlet, Masbagik Utara Baru Village,East Lombok can now breathe freely. This was because they now can consume the clean water that they used to see running way below their kampong. PTNNT, using CSR fund, constructed a pipeline, hydrant pipe and a reservoir that worth Rp100 million. The clean water facility can supply 1.5 liters per second to 215 families of the hamlet that is located about 500 meters from the spring. Ali Sadikin, PTNNT Community Development Special Project Manager officially handed over the assistance to Khairul Ihsan AMd, Masbagik Utara Baru Village Chief (8/ 4). The handover marked the completion of the assistance construction work. Ali expected that the people should not only be proud of the clean water facility construction, but they should also maintain and take care of it such that it can be

serviceable for a long time and provide benefits for the community as much as possible. Meanwhile, Khairun Ihsan, on behalf of Pancor Kopong community, thanked PTNNT for its awareness. “The clean water facility is really a surprise to us. The clean water project, without PTNNT's support, would not be possible to reach our village,” he said in front of his people.
He described that staying close to a spring does not always mean having abundant water. The proof is that Pancor Kopong Barat Hamlet for years could only see other regions enjoy the freshness of the spring coming from their hamlet. “We can understand that as the location of Pancor Kopong Hamlet is higher than the spring that is in an adjacent location,” said Marzuki, a community figure of the hamlet.

Beru village harvests 8.16 tons of rice per hectare
A
cheerful atmosphere was seen on the farmers of Beru village, Jereweh Sub-District, West Sumbawa Regency. This is because their rice farms where the planted rice by adopting the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) produced in average of 8.16 tons of rice per hectare. The harvest was much higher than the yield from conventional farming system which is in average of 2.25-5.5 tons per hectare.

Mala Rahman, West Sumbawa Vice Regent when attending the great harvest of SRI rice in Beru Village, Jereweh Sub-district (22/3). In order to support its self-sufficient food program, the regency government would provide prime seed direct assistance (BLBU) to a number of farmer groups and would maintain supporting facilities for the successful productivity of farmers in Jereweh Sub-district. Jereweh Sub-district Head Ahmad Yani, SH MM mentioned that the farmers' success in applying the SRI program was inseparable from the guidance that PTNNT provided in cooperation with the regional government. "We expect that the production increase can improve the farmers' income," he stated. Jereweh Sub-district currently has 900 hectares of rice field. Around 500 people relied on farming. About 120 of them are under PTNNT guidance and apply SRI system on 49.3 hectares of rice
field. PTNNT Capacity Building Supervisor Abdul Wahid stated that the SRI system has been proven to increase the farmers' rice production successfully so that it is advisable that the farmers apply it.

company's production plan. Thus, to realize smooth activities and achieve targeted production rate, various antici-
pation projects are to be carried out ahead of the wet season. Superintendent Mine Development Raymond Boyska explained that the activities carried during the dry season include tree cutting, land clean-up, land hauling and filling. In addition, reclamation has been carried out on undisturbed land, drainage has been constructed to divert water runoff from the forest to Sejorong and Tongoloka rivers and maintenance of sediment ponds to keep the pond able to contain the mine acid water. “The land clearing during the dry season will define the amount of material to mine during the planned mining phase. Therefore dry season becomes an integrated part with mining activities at Batu Hijau where the work process is made by involving all groups at the Mine Department,” said Raymond.

im Departemen Mining PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara meraih penghargaan dari APAC (Newmont Asia Pacific) di bidang keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3). Penghargaan tersebut diberikan dalam sebuah forum pertemuan yang bersifat interaktif yang bertajuk Safety Summit, di Perth Australia (24-25/2).

Sementara Sunarto Suwito, Manajer SHLP PTNNT, menilai penghargaan itu diberikan atas upaya PTNNT dalam mengurangi angka kecelakaan kerja yang diakibatkan oleh faktor kelelahan. “Departemen Mining mengeluarkan sebuah ide dan program yang dikenal dengan Program 'Fatigue Campaign' atau program Kampanye Kelelahan,” imbuhnya. Dijelaskan, safety summit merupakan sebuah pertemuan yang bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan beberapa rekomendasi program My Safety Journey dengan 'Safety Task Force' untuk seluruh karyawan Newmont. Pertemuan yang berlangsung
selama dua hari itu dihadiri sekitar 110 pimpinan dari Newmont Asia Pacific, baik dari Operasi dan Eksplorasi. “PTNNT sendiri mengirimkan dua belas karyawannya yang mewakili seluruh departemen yang ada,” jelas Sunarto.

L
ower back pain is the most common complaint received by doctors. The cause of most back pain cases is difficult to figure out while it takes an expensive cost to cure it.
DR. dr. Luthfi Gatam, SpOT. FICS., an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spinal surgery disclosed it during a lower back pain session in the lower back pain campaign 2011 held at the Community Hall, Townsite (24-25/3). He asserted that lower back pain might develop due to several conditions, such as muscle strain, back injury, overuse (muscle tension), muscle disorder, root nerve (nerves fiber) stress, poor body position and so forth. “Pregnant women, construction workers, smokers and those who carry out repeated lifting work are highly prone to lower back pain risk. Therefore, prevention is important. Keep your body in healthy weight range and maintain back muscle strength and elasticity to help in preventing the problem to your back,” said Luthfi. He continued that proper body position and correct techniques when lifting heavy load may also prevent lower back pain. Good body position can keep the body parallel correctly and reduce additional stress to musculoskeletal (muscle and bone) so that bones, joints and ligaments can function as expected. “Bearing in mind that the high risk of lower back pain to Newmont employees can affect their performance and the company's productivity as well, the campaign will continue for high risk working groups such as mechanics, operators, field workers and even office workers,” said Sumarno, Senior Supv. Industrial Hygiene PTNNT.
Seven symptoms of lower back pain If your answer is yes to any of the questions below, you have to see a back bone specialist or company's doctor. 1. Has the lower back pain spread to your legs? If the pain remains and is painful, it is a sign that something is pressing the nerve that moves from your lower back to your legs. 2. Does the pain on your legs get worse when you raise your legs to chest or bend them? If yes, there might be nerve irritation. 3. Have you suffered serious lower back pan after falling recently? If yes, the backbone might be broken, the possibility to get injury increase if you suffer osteoporosis. 4. Have you suffered lower back pain for more than 3 weeks?

The third child of four siblings is interested in teaching that he takes from his parents who are also teachers. His father, Mustakim Biawan, is a culture observer while his mother is of Batak descendant who is very concerned to education. Of course Syamroni has to bury his dream since his current work and responsibility take a lot of time and thought. “But I will consider any offer to be a teacher,” said he seriously. At PTNNT, Syamroni handles business relations between PTNNT and service contractors either for construction work, repair, maintenance, labor supply or other
“My principle is to do everything sincerely...”

He moved to Sumbawa in 1998 and worked at PT Fluor Daniel as a warehouseman before promotion to MMS Administrator and Procurement Officer. In 1999 he worked at PT Inamco as Material Surplus Coordinator. “Once I went to Maluk by a cow truck loaded with lime and upon arrival at Maluk I was dirty, smelly and all white,” he recalled. “I enjoy my job very much, from the start up to now. My principle is to do everything sincerely. Any conflict is normal since we do not live alone, so that effort to be better shall not cease,” said the hobbyist in touring, reading and writing.
