History

1978
The Government of Indonesia invites tenders from
foreign companies for the exploration and
development of coal resources in east and south
Kalimantan. A British Petroleum International Ltd and
Conzinc Rio Tinto of Australia Ltd joint venture was
successful in bidding for an area of 7,900 sq. km in
two blocks extending 300 km along the coast of
eastern Kalimantan

1982
PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) incorporated in Indonesia with British
Petroleum International Ltd and Conzinc Rio Tinto of Australia
Ltd each holding 50% of the shares. KPC licensed to conduct
exploration and mining of coal based on a Coal Contract of
Works (CCOW) with the concession covering 90,706 ha. The
Indonesian State Coal Company (PTBA) to receive 13.5%
entitlement of all production

1988
KPC decision to proceed with the development
of an export mine with a design capacity of 7
million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) following
detailed exploration and a feasibility study of
prospects close to Sangatta. The prospect has
substantial quantity of high quality coal
reserves, is close to a coast line with deep
water and is strategically located to service
growing markets. KPC subsequently relinquished
most of the original Agreement Area, retaining
1,961 sq. Km
1989
Construction commences in January. The budget
for the project is US$570 M
1990
Work on the large scale mine development
commences in June

1991
All major items were commissioned by late
1991
1992
Commercial exports begin in January 1992
2003
October 2003 sold to PT Bumi Resources Tbk
and East Kutai Regional Government.
2007
July 2007 30% of shares owned by PT Bumi
Resources Tbk sold to Bhira Investment Ltd
(formerly known as Tata Power).

The purpose this geological

investigation is to identify the
contained, presence, size, shape,
distribution, quantity, and quality
of a coal deposit as the basis of
analysis / study the possibility of
investment. The investigation stage
determines the level of the coal
resources be produce.

Mining preparation stage begins with

exploration surveys. Exploration activities
include maping field, measurements of
geological structures, outcrop sampling,
exploration drilling, geophysical logging, and
valuation reserves.
In KPC there are 3,579 million tonnes of coal
resources and
634 million tonnes of coal reserves

Another case if the purpose of the use is for

agriculture / plantation, the top soil is a very
useful element that must be handled with
care and caution so that the damage and
loss of topsoil can be minimized. Similarly, in
the works of mining, coal mining carried out
by setting aside or keep top soil in a place,
which will be after the completion of mining
can be used to get the results back for
reclamation (back felling) so that the
condition of the ground surface can be
carried out replanting (reboasasi).

Drill
Drilling activities conducted on the coal
companies to obtain more detailed data and
can be accurately estimated reserves, other
than that the data can also be used to obtain
coal quality, engineering geological data, to
drilling and hydrogeology can be seen
groundwater levels and type.
In Kaltim Prima Coal used core drilling (core
drilling). But before doing the drilling we first
determine the point of the drill to do a GPS
capitalize stake out point. Then do the
manufacture of drill pad (broad and
conditions are tailored to the needs) used
dozer (usually for non-portable rig) while for
the manufacture of portable drill rig pad.
product that comes out is the core of the rock
as shown below

Blasting
In mining company Kaltim Prima Coal, usual used methods of delay blasting. Electric
detonator is a type of detonator that its ignition with electrical current delivered via a
special cable to it on both ends of the tube into the kable electric detonators fitted with
fine wire types are bare electric current which, if passed would glow. In principle, the
composition and content of this type, the same as the detonator detonator usual,
incandescent of fine wire will burn the herb burner and then touch the main field resulting
in jerky waves that will blow up a basic stuffing, so it appears here that the same principle
of electric detonators with usual detonator difference only on switch on. "Delay Blasting":
blasting is performed sequentially few seconds.

OB (Over Burden)
Overburden is the integumentary layer
minerals which usually consists of:
- Top Soil
- Sub-Soil
- Core soil layer (sand Stone, Clay, and
others - others)
Overburden removal is activity to move
material from demolition excavator
(backhoe or shovel type excavators) from
the loading point to the accumulation /
disposal called the planned disposal.
The disposal there are 2 types of backfill and waste dump / outpit dump.Backfill is stacking /
disposal of overburden removal activity results that are within the mine area .Waste dump /
dump outpit is stacking / disposal proceeds overburden removal activity that is outside the
area mine.

The dispatch system is the industrys most trusted

fleet management solution. Available for both
surface and underground mines, the dispatch
system lets you implement specific production
strategies using an extensive set of mining tools.
Dispatcher is one that sends out trains, buses,
trucks, or cars according to a schedule.
KPC operates six to 12 individual open pits at any
time, the average stripping ratio being 7.5bcm
(bank cubic metres) of overburden per tonne of
coal. The overburden material degrades quickly
on exposure to the atmosphere and generally
provides easy digging.
Some overburden rock requires blasting to ensure
adequate fragmentation for the shovels. KPC
carries out its own mining in most of the pits, but
also contracts out a smaller proportion of its mining
requirements.

The management of a geotechnical

project requires a wide range of
important information coming from the
sensors, which are of vital importance
for correct execution of construction
plans and to refine soil models.
Geotechnical
applications
mainly
concern constructions where engineering
properties of rock and soil must be
considered. The capacity of the ground
to support constructions is studied by
engineers
with
geotechnical
instrumentation.

Coal Mining
KPCs mining operation is conducted by KPC through our
Mining Operation Division (MOD) and a number of
contractors. KPC does not collaborate with artisanal and
small-scale mining (ASM). This year, we managed to open
one new pit called Tamara pit with an estimated
production capacity of 600 thousand tons of mined coal.

Coal
1. Prima (antrasit)
Prima coal is one of the highest quality internationally traded thermal coals. It is
a high volatile bituminous coal with high calorific value, very low ash, moderate
sulphur, and relatively low total moisture. It is a bright and lustrous coal with high
vitrinite content. Prima comes primarily from six main seams in pits that are
located close to the Pinang Dome. Higher temperatures and pressure in coal
seams near the Dome resulted in coal with lower moisture and consequently
higher heat content. With sparkling black color (luster) metallic, containing
between 86% - 98% elemental carbon (C) with a water content of less than 8%.

2. Pinang (bituminous)
Pinang coal is similar to Prima coal but with higher moisture and
lower energy. contains 68-86% elemental carbon (C) and the
water level of 8-10% by weight.

3. Melawai (sub- bituminous)

Melawan coal is an ultra clean sub-bituminous coal with ultra low
ash and sulphur contents. Pinang and Melawan coal are located
further away from the Dome and contained in seams generally
higher in the stratigraphic sequence. contains less carbon and
more water, and therefore a source of heat is less efficient
compared to bituminous.

Stockpile
Serves as a buffer between stockpile and delivery process, as a
strategic inventory of the short-term disruption or long term.
Stockpile also serves as a process of homogenization or mixing
coal and to prepare the required quality. Understanding
Stockpile is a storage area / buildup of coal mining. Stockpile is
also used to mix coal homogenization that aims to prepare a
product of one type of material in which fluctuations in coal
quality and comparable size distribution.

Coal is received from off-road

trucks with a capacity of 100 to 220tonnes at the truck dump hopper. The
hopper is located at the western end of
the stockpile and consists of a single 300tonnes hopper, with main dump face. The
truck dump area will have a secondary
side dump face at a future date. The
hopper discharges through a feeder
breaker to the sizer station feed conveyor.
The feeder breaker reduces the received
coal from 500 mm to 200 mm x 0 mm at
an average capacity of 2,000 MTPH
(2,500 MTPH peak).
At the sizer station the coal is further reduced to 50 mm x 0 mm, and then it is
conveyed and discharged to the stockage pile with a traveling tripper. The storage pile has a
total capacity of 200,000 tons

A simple stockpile is formed by

machinery dumping coal into a
pile, either from dump trucks,
pushed into heaps with
bulldozers or from conveyor
booms. More controlled
stockpiles are formed using
stackers to form piles along the
length of a conveyor, and
reclaimers to retrieve the coal
when required for product
loading, etc.

MAINTENANCE

The mine site contains separate stockpiles for

the Prima and Pinang products, holding 60,000t
and 35,000t respectively. Coal is reclaimed
and transported by a 13km-long, 2,100t/hcapacity overland conveyor to Kaltim Primas
dedicated port facilities at Tanjung Bara.
Further stockpiles hold a live capacity of
350,000t of Prima and 150,000t of Pinang
coals. Coal is transferred directly from mine to
ship whenever possible.
Vessels of up to 220,000dwt can be handled
by the port, with loading facilities at the end of
a 2km-long jetty. Twin quadrant loaders can
each handle up to 4,700t/h, the normal loading
throughput.

With selective mining, over 90% of the

run of mine coal only needs crushing and
blending to give export quality Kaltim
Prima Coal. Coal from the seam roofs
and floors contains more mineral
material, and so has to be washed. This
'dirty Prima' and Pinang material is
handled separately from the 'clean
Prima', with individual streams for the
different raw materials.
After crushing to 50mm in Gundlach rolls
crushers, the washing plant uses dense
medium cyclones for 0.5mm to 50mm
feed, and spirals for the 0.5mm material,
products being dewatered in centrifuges
before blending into the Prima Coal
stockpile.

Transportation is the activity

undertaken to transport or
carry materials or precipitate
minerals from the mining front
was taken to mills for further
processing.
Transportation activities using the Dump Truck that I was then
taken to the stockyard, where processing occurs at the site to
do the crushing (crushing).

After passing the last crushing

process, coal was brought to the
stockyard 2 or coal storage
locations in accordance with a
predetermined size.
Coal is already experiencing
reduced and ready for sale will be
transported using a dump truck to
the location of the coal pile at the
port. And by using a conveyor belt
coal carrying to coal barging and
then brought to the vessel coal
