PT Freeport Indonesia

Freeport Indonesia is committed to continuing to innovate and utilize technology in underground mining operations. To retrieve mining materials is done remotely with a tool called Minegem, where the process is similar to playing a video game. This production automation is carried out to minimize the risk of accidents and increase efficiency.

Starting from the success of hosting the XX PON in Papua in 2021, the initiative to build a program for the advancement of Papuan sports began to be formed and finally realized through the inauguration of the Papua Football Academy (PFA) on August 31, 2022 by the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo. PFA is a scholarship program that is fully supported by PT Freeport Indonesia in facilitating young Papuan talents in sports. PFA is also the first sports academy in Indonesia to implement FIFA Children Safeguarding. The PFA participants hone their soccer skills through disciplined training from professional coaches. They are also provided with formal education with an independent learning system, as well as character guidance. This PFA is expected to be able to produce football players from Papua with superior talents and characters.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo inaugurated the launch of 5G Mining technology in collaboration with PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) with PT Telekomunikasi Selular (Telkomsel) in Tembagapura, Papua, on September 1, 2022.

As the Grasberg open pit mining era ends in 2020, Freeport Indonesia has proven its commitment to managing post-mining land, namely by conducting reclamation and revegetation. In this process, plants are planted in the form of grass and shrubs with root and lime planting media so that plants can grow well. This effort is also part of Freeport Indonesia's commitment to support environmental sustainability which has an impact on the preservation of biodiversity in the operational area.

Freeport Indonesia applies good mining practices in its operations, one of which focuses on long-term tailings management. This tailings deposition area is located at the mouth of the Ajkwa River called ModADA (Modified Ajkwa Deposition Area). This comprehensive tailings management system has also received approval from the Indonesian government based on years of technical studies and reviews. This area then forms a new plain which develops into an area of reclamation and natural succession. In this area, we have planted mangrove trees sustainably since 2004, with the aim of accelerating the colonization of mangroves that grow naturally. One of these new plains with extensive mangrove forests is called Pulau Waii. The mangrove forest area in this area is also used by flora and fauna as a new habitat.
