Jakarta –
The wealth of natural resources (SDA) of Indonesia is no longer in doubt. Various potential natural resources are spread in various regions of Indonesia.
Indonesia also has tin sources scattered in several regions. In tin there are also associated minerals known as rare earth metals (rare earth).
Rare earth metals are called treasures because they have great value and are sought after by other countries in the world.
Director of Operations and Production of PT Timah Tbk, Agung Pratama said that rare earth metals are found in tin, but it must go through a long process and qualified technology to produce rare earth metals.
Currently, PT Timah Tbk continues to develop various studies related to rare earth metals, members of the BUMN Holding Mining Industry MIND remain focused on exploring to increase tin reserves which will become raw materials for rare earth metals.
“The rare earth metals we are talking about today are obtained from the remnants of tin mining where there are associated minerals there, so for that we have to make sure of their exact existence by conducting exploration,” Agung said to detik.com some time ago.
