Mining seminar in Balikpapan

Mining seminar in Balikpapan

JAKARTA (JP): The Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) will
hold a mining seminar and exhibition in the East Kalimantan
capital of Balikpapan on March 29.

"Balikpapan is a major regional center for the Indonesian
resources industry. We know it is sometimes difficult for mining
company executives to make the trip to Jakarta so this will be
the first of our mobile trade exhibition events in Indonesia,"
Austrade's specialist mining trade commissioner Jennie Lloyd said
in a statement.

Seminar & Showcase of Australian Mining Technologies will be
opened by Australian Ambassador John McCarthy. Speakers during
the half-day seminar will be drawn from the Australian mining
equipment and services industry.

Indonesia is Australia's number one market for resource
development projects and mining equipment, technology and service
suppliers. (jsk)
