The introduction of the new mining law (Law no. 4 of 2009 re Minerals &
Coal Mining) for the development of mines in Indonesia on January 2009
does not deal comprehensively with all aspects of the requirements for
exploring, developing, and building new mines. With a number of
inconsistencies and contradictory statements causing confusion among
existing and potential new mining entrants, Mining Law &
Regulatory Practice in Indonesia: A Primary Reference Source is
an attempt to unravel the multi-complex rules, regulations, and
reporting requirements proposed by the new mining law.
For the first time in English, bringing together in one publication, all
of the important laws and regulations relevant to mining, Mining
Law & Regulatory Practice in Indonesia: A Primary Reference Source (Wiley;
July 2013; ISBN: 978-1-118-61318-4) provides a basic reference source
for business people, legal and other professional advisers. Written
by William A. Sullivan, a licensed foreign advocate with Christian Teo
Purwono & Partners, this book helps readers maneuver their way through
the multiplicity of regulations that currently exist.
“New laws, regulations and policies impacting the local mining industry
generally appear in official Bahasa Indonesia versions only, with
foreign mining companies and foreign professional advisers being left to
rely on occasional, poorly written, and inconsistent unofficial English
translations prepared by non-lawyers and people with no understanding of
the mining practice,” Sullivan said.
Mining Law & Regulatory Practice in Indonesia: A Primary Reference
Source provides a thorough coverage of everything from price
setting to the processed minerals VAT, land use regulations to
investment regulations, rent use permits to forest area utilization. In
addition to providing detailed reviews of the laws and their various
interpretations, Sullivan supplies in-depth analyses of potential legal
pitfalls for domestic and foreign operators and investors.
The 509-page book is now available at all major bookstores in both
hardcover and various e-book formats. For more information, visit the
