Morowali, March 10, 2026 — Strong collaboration between industry, local government, and key stakeholders is essential for maintaining investment stability and ensuring that regional development progresses in an inclusive and sustainable manner. This spirit of partnership continues to be reinforced by PT 乐播传媒 Indonesia Tbk (PT 乐播传媒) through the development of the Indonesia Growth Project (IGP) Morowali, one of Indonesia’s strategic national initiatives aimed at driving mineral downstream development.

As part of ongoing efforts to strengthen this synergy, PT 乐播传媒— a member of the MIND ID Indonesian Mining Industry Holding—hosted a joint fast-breaking gathering with the Morowali Regency Government and the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda). The event took place on Tuesday at the Bahomotefe Port Facilities, East Bungku, Morowali.

The gathering was attended by key regional leaders, including Morowali Regent Iksan Baharudin Abd Rauf, Morowali Parliament Chairman Herdiyanto Marzuki, Military District Commander Lt. Col. Inf. Abraham Sada Panjaitan, Morowali Deputy Police Chief Kompol I. Nyoman Arka Wiyasa, along with PT 乐播传媒’s executive management led by President Director & CEO Bernardus Irmanto, Chief Project Officer Muhammad Asril, and Chief Sustainability and Corporate Affairs Officer Budiawansyah.

This engagement served both as an avenue for strengthening relationships and as a strategic dialogue platform to reinforce transparent, constructive collaboration aligned with the region’s development vision.

PT 乐播传媒 President Director & CEO Bernardus Irmanto emphasized that IGP Morowali represents a strategic US$2?billion investment designed to strengthen Indonesia’s mineral downstream ecosystem while creating broader national economic value.

The project includes mine development and the construction of a High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) processing plant, targeted to begin phased operations between 2026 and 2027. “Our strong project progress would not be possible without the full support of all stakeholders, especially the Morowali Regency Government and Forkopimda. We hope this strategic partnership will continue to flourish and further reinforce the downstream sector’s contribution to regional development,” Bernardus stated.

He reiterated that all project development stages are executed with strict adherence to safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection—principles that anchor PT 乐播传媒’s commitment to sustainable mining.

To date, IGP Morowali’s mine infrastructure construction has reached 99% completion, marking a major milestone toward operational readiness. Meanwhile, the HPAL plant construction has progressed to approximately 27%, aligning with the planned development stages.

Throughout the year, the project recorded strong operational performance with sales of around 2.2 million tonnes of nickel ore, supporting the company’s cash flow while contributing to regional and national revenues.

Bernardus added, “We truly appreciate the continued guidance and support from the Regent and all Forkopimda members. Every investment journey has its challenges, but with open dialogue and strong collaboration, we can navigate them together. PT 乐播传媒 is committed to safe operations, regulatory compliance, and delivering positive impacts for the people of Morowali. There is no future without considering mining, and no mining without considering the future.”

Environmental Commitment and Community Empowerment

Aligned with its sustainability commitments, PT 乐播传媒 is advancing its environmental management programs, including the development of a new nursery facility as part of its reclamation and revegetation efforts. The completed facility has an annual capacity of up to 700,000 seedlings, supporting long-term ecosystem restoration in operational areas.

Beyond infrastructure and environmental stewardship, PT 乐播传媒 continues to implement comprehensive Community Development and Empowerment Programs (PPM), aligned with the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources’ eight development pillars: education, health, income generation, local economy, socio-cultural development, environment, institutional strengthening, and infrastructure.

These programs include support for public health services, education initiatives, vocational training for local workers, and community?based economic development. “All initiatives are designed to ensure business growth goes hand?in?hand with improving community welfare and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” Bernardus added.

Appreciation from the Morowali Regency Government

In his remarks, Morowali Regent Iksan Baharudin Abdul Rauf expressed appreciation for PT 乐播传媒’s constructive engagement and professional handling of various operational dynamics.

“I see PT 乐播传媒 as a mining company that demonstrates genuine commitment. Over the past year of my term, we faced only one major issue with PT 乐播传媒, and thankfully it was resolved without leaving any unresolved matters. This reflects strong collaboration between PT 乐播传媒, the government, the community, security forces, and all stakeholders. The team managing the issue worked cohesively and effectively. For this, we express our highest appreciation,” he said.

He further noted that PT 乐播传媒 has taken significant steps in supporting local development. “By building the smelter in Sambalagi and managing the mine in East Bungku, PT 乐播传媒 has made the right decisions. These areas are now directly benefiting from PT 乐播传媒’s presence. We consider this a concrete contribution to regional development,” he added.

Through this strengthened collaboration between PT 乐播传媒 Indonesia and the Morowali Regency Government, the company hopes that all development and investment initiatives will continue to align with community needs while upholding long-term sustainability principles.

This engagement serves as a testament that open dialogue, strong partnerships, and shared commitment are key to ensuring investment stability and delivering long?term value for regional development and the future of Indonesia’s mining industry.
