Aneka Tambang's operations normal

SINGAPORE (Reuters): PT Aneka Tambang nickel mining operations
in southeast Sulawesi and Gebe island are functioning normally, a
company spokesman said by telephone from Jakarta.

Nickel mining is concentrated in Pomalaa in southeast Sulawesi
and Gebe (Maluku).

The ferro-nickel plant in Pomalaa, which uses highly
concentrated nickel ore from Pomalaa and Gebe, was also
unaffected.

Few mining officials were in their offices in Jakarta
yesterday, but Indonesia's main mine operations for copper, tin
and nickel are scattered around the volcanic archipelago and have
not been touched by rioting, which has been focused this week in
the capital Jakarta.
