Gresik Supports Integrated Copper and Gold Downstreaming, Strengthening the National Strategic Industrial Zone
Gresik Regency in East Java is supporting the integrated downstream processing of copper and gold, aimed at strengthening the National Strategic Industrial Zone. This effort is part of broader national policies to maximise the value of mineral resources through local processing rather than raw exports. Local authorities and industry stakeholders are collaborating to develop infrastructure and incentives that attract investments in smelting and refining facilities, thereby creating jobs and boosting regional economic activity.
