To date PT Uniserv supplies limefor production process at PTNNT.However, due to several reasons,

this local lime supplier is experiencingproduction decline at a time PTNNT's limerequirement progressively increases. Tomeet the demand, the company purchaseslime from Surabaya with much highercosts. To overcome this unfavorablesituation, PTNNT through Lime SupplyOptimization Project takes a substantialaction to help PT Uniserv increase itsproduction capacity to meet the require-ments.

The business case of this project,according to the project manager, FransSianturi, is the very high increase of limeusage due to the bad quality of thestockpile ores. "Usually we used around180 tons of lime per day, but since July

2012 the requirements have skyrocketed tomore than 300 tons or an increase of 90%,which could not be fulfilled by localsuppliers," he revealed.

The maximum production rate that hasever been done by KILN Uniserv was 230tons per day; as a consequence, PTNNTmust purchase additional lime fromSurabaya of approx. 90 tons per day. "Thefluctuating need of lime requirements isinfluenced by the type of rocks sent fromthe mine and the type of water used toprocess that rock," said Frans.

Andrew Rumpel, PTNNT's PrincipalAdvisor Business Excellence, viewed Fransand his colleagues from other relateddepartments have successfully improvedUniserv's production capacity up to 320tons per day and designed a process-related study with the support of the

"Using local lime, PTNNT saves US$36 perton when compared to using non-locallime. During years of stockpile process,this project can save an amount of USD1million annually," he explained.

Health is a priceless gift from God. Everything is unpleasant when you areunhealthy. All of your fortune seems useless. Resting feels uncomfortable letalone working. Therefore you have to stay healthy. Exercise is one of the

methods to keep your body fit and healthy.PTNNT is aware of the importance of employees' health for company's successful

The most recent and advanced is Balanced Life health and fitness center, locatedat T2 camp. The inauguration of the facility operation was marked with ribboncutting and balloon release by PTNNT's GMO Trent Tempel on Monday (1/28). Anumber of senior managers and managers were present to witness the inaugurationceremony of this fitness center, which is located at the ex-BNI office close to KatalaCooperative building.

"In order to create a healthier and more productive manpower, the companyprovides a health and fitness center on site with more comfortable atmosphere. TheBalanced Life Center allows busy employees and their dependents to exercise moreeasily and comfortable," said Mohamad Chairudin, F&S Manager.

In addition, every adult shall perform activitiesthat can keep or improve muscle capability for at least two days in a week. For thosewho want to lose weight or improve fitness, they should perform exercise more thanthe minimum recommendation.

including children who are 12 years of age or above. Access to the center may beobtained after participating in an orientation on the available facilities. It opensdaily from 05:00-22:00 and for mothers exclusively at 13:00 - 14:00 from Monday toFriday.

Enthusiastically welcomeThe presence of the center in the middle of employees' camp has been enthusiasti-

cally welcome. Tens of employees including those who live at Benete, Maluk and itssurrounding, PTNNT's business partners, dependents visit the facility every day totake a look at and test various provided equipment. Sukreni, for example, along withher fellow employees came to the Center to give a shot on the new, fancy equipmentavailable at this facility. "At first I thought this facility is only wasting money. But itturns out that it is very useful to maintain our health and to stay fit. I will come in aregular basis and start to exercise intensively," she said.

Some also employees who preferred to come outside the schedule to avoid thecrowd. "I and my friend came every 4 o'clock in the morning. During that period oftime there were only a few visitors, so the situation is quieter," said Thomas, aMultimedia crew from Concentrator office.

In addition to the new equipment, the Center provides a plasma TV in front of everyequipment and glass wall so each users can view every movement they make as wellas to create a cozier atmosphere. Moreover, it has safe lockers, bathroom, andappropriate changing room.

Efforts to Improve Employees' Health

Employees' success in working asshown in achievement of targetswith excellent performance is not

solely a result of skills and competency.Another factor that is no less important isa balance in managing personal qualityof life and work demands.

This kind of balance now becomes oneof the PTNNT's focuses. For this purpose,banners and posters that read 'TheBalanced Life' were posted at severalstrategic locations, such as bus stop,commissary, mess hall, gym.

To know more on how and whatBalanced Life is, the followings areexcerpts of an interview with PeterFerrigno, PTNNT Senior Manager Opera-tions Support.

Question (Q): Can you tell us about TheBalanced Life program?

Answer (A): Actually The Balanced LifeHealth and Wellness program has beensomething that we've been working on formore than 18 months now. When westarted to looking at all of the generalhealth as well as services provided bySOS Clinic. As a company, we want tomake sure that we're putting the healthand wellness and wellbeing of ouremployees as a primary focal point alongwith all of the other things that we do asa company in terms of training anddevelopment. PTNNT also has tried toensure it has comprehensive programs tomeet the employee's need.

In PTNNT point of view, this program isthe best and specific method to assistemployee to cope with health problemsand wellness perspective. Basically, whatthe employees' medical condition andhow that may effect on and improve theirhealth by means of tools and educationprovided by PTNNT is the employees'personal responsibility. So, everything isup to the employees to utilize the provid-

ed facility, and everything has beenfurnished in one place i.e. the sportsarena (The Balanced Life Gym) whichopened on last February.

Q: In your opinion, why this program isneeded?

A: As we all now, one of the things thatwe are now at PTNNT is that we have theworkforce now that is aging. Because ofthe fact that had a very low turnover inthe company, we've seen the age of ourworkforce basically increase over the lastten years by ten years. And as we know,with age comes other health problems,you know, high blood pressure, cholester-ol and those sorts of things.

Therefore, it was deemed necessary byPTNNT to adopt a program to overcomeemployee's health problem. That wassomething that was discussed with thesenior management of Newmont both inDenver and Asia Pacific and talking aboutoccupational health and support of ouremployees and their families that livehere in Sumbawa. That was prettyobvious that we needed a facility thatpeople can use to be able to not onlyworkout in but have people that areknowledgeable and staff that are trainedto be able to deal with folks that havedifferent heath conditions and train them.

To provide them with specific differentcourses, personal health programs,which in the future must be able to givechanges on employee through the facilityprovided by the company.

In middle of February, we have BaliHealth who is partnering with us and withSOS in occupational health groups tocome in and be that key component tothat program.

Q: Talking about health cannot beseparated from nutrition. How does PTNNTarrange it to support employees' health?

A: One thing that has been done by

Peter Ferrigno, Sr. Manager Operations Support PTNNT.

COVER STORY Batu HijauS U A R A

Suara Batu Hijau Issue 31/2013

PTNNT over the years is to take care of themeals which give positive or negativeimpact on us as a human being as well asa worker. Up to now, we are working withPBU to, you know, try to put nutritionalinformation up there so that people thatwhether they are on diet or are interestedin knowing what's healthy food versusless healthy food can get that informationthat are available to them and that is whyin the mess hall we've usually seensomebody's card system that provides asimple stuff like methodology whetheryou have red, yellow and green labelsthat have the basic health facts of thefoods they are eating contain inside ofthose cards. It is something that wecontinue to work out and roll out.

The same treatment is also given topacked meals which delivered directly tothe workers. In the upcoming months, themenu for packed meals shall be varied.Not only the food is still hot and warmduring the delivery but the nutrition willalso be improved.

Q: So far what you have done to TheBalanced Life that makes it attractive to theemployees and how you evaluate it?

A: To make it interesting, we will hold

several contests and competitions relatedto employees' health and fitness. Thisway we are sure such events will bringpleasure for them, so the will be interest-ed in going to the gym even just to lookaround.

By these activities hopefully we cangive more benefit to the employees fromhealth and entertainment perspectives.For evaluation, we provide opportunitiesfor employees to give feedbacks on whatthey like and what they do not like relatedto this program so we could makechanges.

From 2012 survey, many employees havegiven suggestions and positive informa-tion associated with health and wellness.The survey results indicate what they need.We will collect all positive information inorder to improve this program. Thisprogram is suited to the requirements andbeneficial for the health of employees andtheir families is the most critical matter.Moreover, it is impossible for PTNNT tomake a program and to position people torun it without bringing significant benefitfor the company. However, we willevaluate the effectiveness of this programin a regular basis.

The flood of people attending thefestival lured the locals to sell variousgoods from toys to traditional foods.

Bau Nyale fest has become an annualevent in NTB. In Lombok, it is concentrat-ed in Kaliantan Beach of East Lombok andKuta Beach of Central Lombok while inSumbawa in Tropical Beach of WestSumbawa.

Bau Nyale is often associated with amyth in each area. In Lombok, it isassociated with heroic story of Mandali-ka Princess who jumped into the sea toavoid blood-shedding fight among theprinces proposing her, while in WestSumbawa Nyale was considered manifes-tation of Prophet Muhammad's turban.

Some studies find Nyale contain highprotein. Despite it can be eaten raw,people prefer to cooking it as the side-dish. It is usually served as pepes(roasted in banana leave wrapping) orcooked in coconut sauce.

"We prepare the seasoning at homebefore leaving to the beach. We cook itdirectly and sell any excessive," said Mrs.Nana of Sekongkang Bawah. After the festends, the price can reach Rp15,000 abowl at Tropical Beach

"We can sell it Rp20,000 a bowl in themarket," said Mr. Acan a fisherman of

Various sources said Nyale is onlyfound in coral beach. It emerges to thesurface during the mating season. Theworm's presence indicates a clean beachand sea since it is a kind of animal thatis sensitive to temperature change due topollution and global warming.

Maluk, West Sumbawa also experience theimpact of skyrocketing prices of basicneeds. This forces housewives to helptheir husband earn more income for theirfamily.

Maryam, a mother of two, makes netfrom coconut fiber (coconet) to add herfamily income. Earnings of her husband, aroustabout, cannot be relied on to satisfytheir life needs.

"Fortunately PTNNT provides a job tomake coconet, it is enough to support myfamily's economy," she said.

Coconet production is a collaborationproject between PTNNT's Environmentand Social Responsibility Departments.The project is assigned to two localcompanies in Maluk i.e. PT Ridho Bersa-ma and CV Taliwang Mitra. The twocompanies hire tens of workers and someof them are housewives. The coconetproduction is aimed at fulfilling PTNNTreclamation's needs in 2013. H Basuki, SrSpecialist Capacity Building & ProjectDevelopment External Relations, said in2013 the Environment Department needs185,000 meter square coconet. "Current-ly, the Environment Department has

Fitrah said that earlier the supply ofcoconet was provided by supplier fromout of the region. However, this year,collaborating with Comdev program, theprocurement is made through localsuppliers. "Of course the price is muchcheaper," said Fitrah.

Successful Reclamation, Reduces Tax

Asignificant impact of miningactivities is the change in landscape. PTNNT is aware of such

impact and therefore it is obliged to carryout reclamation to repair and manage thedisturbed land in order that it can functionas designated.

Ahmad Salim, PTNNT Gensupv. Govern-ment Relations, said three institutionshold the authority to monitor the reclama-tion, i.e. EMR Ministry, MoE and Forestry.

The monitoring is carried out a mini-mum of once a year and evaluation isonce in five years.

PTNNT Extends its Operation Period

Following several assessments andevaluation on future mining plan,PTNNT extends its operation life to

the end of 2038. The presentation wasgiven by General Manager SocialResponsibility & Govrels RachmatMakkasau during the familiarization ofPTNNT mining plan of 2013 attended byheads of villages, sub-district heads,Environmental Agency of West Sumba-wa, EMR NTB and West Sumbawa at theKrakatau Room, Townsite (14/2).

Based on AMDAL 1996, PTNNT's minelife will end in 2019. In 2001 a revisionwas made but it did not change the lifeof mine. It only changed the minesurface area, pit depth, waste rockdumping and ore stockpile.

The life of mine was extended to 2031in the revision of Environmental Man-

agement Plan 2010."For mining plan of 2013, again PTNNT

extends the life of mine to 2038," hesaid.

Rachmat asserted that the reasonPTNNT extends the contract (life of mine)is to maintain the amount of oresprocessed with safer mining geometry,minimize mining operation failure(potential slope failure) including post-mining and bring more significant socialand economy impacts to the region.

Meanwhile, Parliyanto Dharmawan,Manager Environmental Affairs, in hispresentation disclosed some impacts ofthe mine plan change. Technically, thepit diameter will expand from 2677meter to 2728 meter. The pit area willexpand from 550 Ha to 594 Ha, with newclearing of 17.3 ha forest area.

The pit sump expands from - 420 meterbelow the sea level (bsl) to -435 meterbsl. The total new forest area clearingrequired is 182.8 Ha.

"Notwithstanding, the processingcapacity remains 58.4 million tonnes peryear as described in the AMDAL docu-ments and there is no change to theamount of tailings," he said.

With the seven year extension of the lifeof mine, Parliyanto said there will benon-technical change impacts particular-ly indirect benefits to the economy andsupport services. In addition, the commu-nity development programs and othersocial programs will continue and staterevenues from taxes and royalties willincrease.

During the question and answersession, Tongo village Head MuhammadZabir said he strongly agreed andsupported the extension of the life ofmine. "The important thing is the compa-ny can provide contribution to thevillages and the community that moresignificant changes can be seen," said he.

Meanwhile Burhanuddin, the head of

For employees working at Batu Hijau, SAFETY is the word talked aboutanytime. Every day they are requested to focus on the safety during theirjob. Since it is spoken so many times, one sometimes regards it as an

ordinary thing or may even ignore it. However, an outsider or a Newmont employ-ee from other sites may find it differently. They may be very impressed with oursafety concern.

Omar Jabara, Director of Newmont Global Communications, was impressedwhen he visited PTNNT and Elang exploration area several weeks ago (4/3). "Iwas surprised and pleased with the safety concerns shown at PTNNT," Omarsaid.

Omar was impressed when he arrived at Batu Hijau and continued his flight tothe Elang exploration area by helicopter. Prior to departing, he had to watchsafety video first, which he thought was normal. "It was normal since I am newand will fly to a new location," Omar said.

However, the normalcy turned into admiration when he returned. After arriving,the officer asked him to watch the safety video again. In fact, it was only 1 hourago. "I asked him, 'Do I have to watch it again?' The officer said, 'Yes.' It was veryimpressive and remarkable. I am really impressed with Safety implementation atPTNNT," Omar said. During the Elang exploration visit, the technical explorationteam told him about the exploration stage currently underway. Other thantechnical issues, Omar also had the opportunity to visit several villages aroundthe exploration sites. In Ledang, Lenangguar and Lemurung villages, he wasbriefed on several projects and community development programs, such as theconstruction of clean water infrastructure, multipurpose buildings and Bangkokchicken farming.

"Although it was a short visit to the exploration area, I could see thatNewmont was on the right track, "said Omar who got a warm welcome from the

employees and had a lunch at a simple food stall at Lenangguar village enjoyingSepat, a special Sumbawa dish.

Net Income Drops,but Asset Increases

Despite the net income (SHU) drop suffered by Katala Employee Cooperative in2012 from Rp951 million (in 2011) to Rp763 million (in 2012), the cooperative'soverall assets show an increase.

According to Gunawan, the drop is caused by urgent obligations, such as value addedtax (PPn) paid to the government. Meantime, Cooperative's increased assets are causedby the increase of its member each year from 2,773 members in 2011 to 2.815 membersin 2012 (0.4% increase).

"Member increase becomes cooperative's potential capital for business developmentduring 2013 to increase its SHU," he said before thousands of cooperative's membersduring the Annual Membership Meeting (RAT) held on Wednesday (30/1) at the Multipur-pose Hall, Townsite.

Gunawan added that apart from the approval given by its members, cooperative'sfinancial report of 2012 has also been audited by independent auditors (KAP KBAAJakarta), which states that Katala Cooperative has conducted proper bookkeeping andprovided qualified financial statements.

Cooperative Supervisor H. Agus Panca believes that the cooperative's net incomedecrease in 2012 is caused by increased development and promotion costs, as well asinterest expenses of the members.

"In 2013 work program, the cooperative will increase the basic contribution paymentfrom Rp200,000 to Rp300,000 and obligatory saving from Rp75,000 to Rp125,000,"added Ruliana the cooperative manager.

The next day the whole group followed Brang Kreto, Brang Kemang Menir, Brang Punik, and BrangSakal river. After five days on trip they arrived in a dense forest. They came into the forest to reachtheir final destination, Liang Bedis. At Liang Bedis, the Chief Commander reported to the Princess. "Your Highness the Royal Princess, this is the place, as ordered by the King, where you shouldstay forever. We do expect Your Royal Highness to be patient to face this ordeal. We, the wholeentourage, always pray for Your Royal Highness's safety in this place, the Patih said on behalf of theentourage. "Thank you, Chief Commander, the Ministers, the officers, and the Palace Guards, and all othergroup members, who have been willing to take efforts and pains taking me to this place. Now youcan go back to the Palace and I pray that you all arrive safely to the royal palace," Lala Baka saidsadly. All members of the group were moved to hear the speech of Lala Baka, the Royal Princess,who was loved by the people. All group members cried on the Royal Princess's fate. Before they left,Lala Baka again said to the Chief Commander and the Ministers. ""Uncle Commander and Ministers,say my respect and apology to the King and also to my beloved queen mother. My respect is also formy grandfather and all the people of the Tana Samawa kingdom. Who knows this is the last word ofmy farewell," Lala Baka said. She then shortly took a deep breath before asking the ChiefCommander and the Ministers who were in the tent to exit. "Please leave me alone in the tent,because I want to take a rest," she asked. The Chief Commander and the Ministers in the tent immediately went out. They understood thatthe Princess was tired. They let her rest to avoid fatigue. Inside the tent, Lala Baka remembered theBlue Gem Ring given by her grandfather. Lala Baka tried to test the ring's power, whether it is truethat it has magic power to find solution on any problem. Lala Baka took her hand up, looking at the

blue gem ring and said:

"O my grandfather, will you please catch me a deer for us to consume during this trip," said LalaBaka requesting the blue gem ring. Amazingly, a giant genie puffed out and was ready to do whatthe Princess's request. After listening to the Princess request, the genie went out to the forest

IQ is Not Enough

Emotion Control, the Key to Achievements

TRAINING

Many people think that a personwith high IQ (IntelligenceQuotient) will have a bright

future, because they think that thosehigh IQ people will easily get a job.However, it is often contrary to the fact.In fact, high IQ is not enough to supportthe success of someone's life.

Emotional Quotient (EQ) or EmotionalIntelligence plays a very important rolefor someone to apply his/her knowledge(IQ). With good EQ, a person can effec-tively work in team, understand and givecorrect responses on his/her or other'sfeeling and will be able to motivateothers and him/herself.

Sri Wahyuningsih, a PsychologicalConsultant and HR Manager of PTTrakindo Utama, explained the aboveduring training on personal developmentto hundreds of PTNNT, Contractor andSub-Contractor's female employees atthe Community Hall Townsite, Tuesday(29/1). "A high IQ without the increase ofability to find good solutions for anyproblem will not increase one's prosper-ity," she said.

She said that the emotional intelli-gence is an ability to understand one'sand other's emotion and the ability tomanage it. The ability is regarded as thekey component in an intelligent behav-

ior. Therefore, getting other's supporthighly depends on one's ability tomanage their emotion.

EQ has good impacts on personalrelationship and ability to controlstress. It means, good EQ will provide abigger room for IQ to optimally grow. EQwill consciously manage the emotionwhich will increase general emotion andintellectual. A person with stableemotion will easily focus and tend tohave a logical thought, is able tomotivate themselves to focus on anyconstructive activity and maintain goodrelationship with the surroundingenvironment.

Therefore, according to Sri, we have tolearn how to manage our emotion,because it will control our thought andbehavior which impact on our achieve-ments and our relationship with othersand the surrounding environment. "Ouremotion is like horse we ride; it willsupport us when we can control it, but itwill lead us in danger if it controls us,"she said.

Viviana, the Coordinator ActivityOperational Support, said the activitywas very important for employees' self-development, especially female employ-ee because it will impact on the im-proved achievements at the work place.
