Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Jero Wacik will be summoned to discuss the case of PT Triangle Pase Inc., an Australian mining company allegedly operating without a permit in East Aceh, a human rights official says.
“We will summon minister Jero Wacik and representatives from the company as well. The company has allegedly continued operations without approval from the local administration,” National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) official Ridha said after meeting with East Aceh regency officials in Jakarta on Friday.
Local residents reported PT Triangle Pase Inc. to Komnas HAM for continuing operations after its permit expired in February, Antara reported.
According to Terpiadi Madjid, a community leader in East Aceh, the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry and upstream oil and gas regulator BP Migas extended Triangle Pase’s permit without the consent of the local administration.
According to Triangle Energy’s website, the company has applied to renew its production sharing contract (PSC) for an additional twenty years.
