        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM)\nBahlil Lahadalia reported to President Prabowo Subianto regarding\nmeasures to regulate mining business permits (IUP), particularly those\nlocated in forest areas and not operated in accordance with their\nintended purpose. Bahlil stated that the government is evaluating\nseveral mining permits that are complete administratively but have never\nbeen operated by the permit holders. \u201cI reported on the regulation of\nmining permits, particularly in forest areas and several IUPs that have\nnot been utilised as they should be,\u201d Bahlil said after a limited\nmeeting at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Tuesday.\nAccording to Bahlil, this evaluation is a follow-up to the President\u2019s\ninstructions given about one to two months ago to straighten out\nproblematic mining permits. Bahlil emphasised that the government wants\nto ensure all mining permits provide economic benefits while still\nmaintaining sustainable natural resource governance. He added that the\nresults of the mining permit evaluation have been reported to President\nPrabowo as part of efforts to reform the national mining sector. \u201cThe\nPresident has instructed this about a month ago, two months ago if I\u2019m\nnot mistaken, to conduct an evaluation, and I reported the\ndevelopments,\u201d he explained. The regulation of IUP in forest areas\nrepresents a new phase in the national mining sector reform, which not\nonly ensures legal certainty and good governance but also maintains a\nbalance between the utilisation of natural resources and environmental\nprotection.<\/p>",
