FUTURE PLANS
With high ambitions for the future of the Tujuh Bukit mine , Moorhead points to how important it is that his company remain focused on the task at hand in order to ensure the mine continues its success . “ We have key plans for the future of the mine and we can ’ t afford to be complacent . This year , we ’ re in the process of securing a large fleet and transitioning from a client of a contractor to an owner . It ’ s important to remember to develop people , systems and processes in order to do that successfully . You can ’ t afford production to drop off during that transition ,” explains Moorhead . “ I would like to see the Tujuh Bukit mine continue to grow from strength to strength as we ramp it up to 8mn tonnes per annum . In a few years ’ time , we could have two or three operating gold mines , an operating copper mine , and a major underground project development on our hands which would make us a very significant company worldwide in copper and gold . I want us to become a modern , sustainable , innovative and respected Indonesian mining company .”
