        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has revealed that a cross-agency\nexpedition team led by the National Research and Innovation Agency\n(BRIN) has discovered new gold and mineral reserves in the mountainous\nregion of Papua. The new findings were reported just hours before the\nPresident spoke at the launch of the B50 mandate at the KM 57 rest area\non the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road in Karawang, West Java, on Thursday, 9\nJuly 2026. \u201cOur scientific expedition has just been working, if I am not\nmistaken, for only 2 or 3 weeks in the mountains of Papua. The team from\nBRIN, along with several universities and assisted by the TNI,\ndiscovered gold reserves and very large mineral reserves,\u201d said Prabowo\nduring the B50 launch event before a number of state officials and\nbusiness representatives. Therefore, the President called on all sectors\nto build a shared sense of optimism about Indonesia\u2019s future. \u201cOur\nfuture is very good, very bright. We just need to keep pioneering,\ncontinuing what our predecessors started. Guard our nation, guard our\nRepublic, guard goodness, and reduce ungoodness. We must stop\ncorruption, we must stop smuggling, we must stop narcotics, we must stop\nonline gambling,\u201d the President stated. At the same event, beyond the\nnew gold and mineral findings, the President also revealed that\nIndonesia still possesses substantial coal reserves. He also mentioned\nnew natural gas fields in the Andaman Block, off the coast of Aceh, and\nabundant gas reserves in Masela, Southwest Maluku. \u201cWe still have very\nlarge gas fields in Masela, Southwest Maluku, in Natuna, in Kalimantan.\nWe have also just discovered large fields, and we have just learned that\nwe have CNG. While we still import LPG, our CNG is very abundant,\nextremely abundant,\u201d the President said. He added that Central Java has\nalready started using CNG, or compressed natural gas, as an alternative\nto LPG, expressing hope that CNG can be widely adopted in other regions.\n\u201cCNG exists all over Indonesia, and technology has now been discovered\nto produce gas from very deep underground coal that has not been\nutilised. Ladies and gentlemen, amidst a world crisis, Indonesia turns\nout to have strength,\u201d Prabowo concluded.<\/p>",
