Highlight Issues
MoE Decree 431 on Tailings Management
PTFI received a letter from Nelly on her response to our routine KepMen431 quarterly
report. The letter questions the exceedance of the TSS level at K5 monitoring point in
November 2012, the elevated mercury level in the Kamora Estuary, disagreement to our
plan to discontinue the K5/P5 monitoring points, and the high TSS in the estuary and
effort to retain more tailings on land. Our response letter included the explanation that
the high TSS level has been anticipated and modeled; and has been discussed several
times with MoE. As indicated by modeling, it was not if this would occur, but whenthe
exceedance will soon occur and predict the TSS value of 24500mg/L on annual average.
The ability to accurately model and measure TSS over shorter periods was always
known to be an issue due to the limitations of even the best models to accurately
predict river deposition over short periods of time. A single flow event on November 5,
2012 associated with high rainfall was the main contribution to the high TSS value in
November 2012. As the event occurred naturally, it would not breach the environmental
law. P5 and K5 are located in the active deposition zone, and therefore are not
appropriate as monitoring points. This scientific argument was also presented by ITB
experts during meetings on August 10, 2010 and November 5, 2012 with the MoE. PTFI
will be willing to meet and re-discuss the workable revision of KepMen431 as already
conveyed in our recent letter to MoE on May 15. On the mercury level, our explanation
included providing a short report on the mercury trend on this estuary and explaining
that the high mercury concentration phenomena is naturally occurring from the

upstream river. It was explained also that the area is outside of our project area, and are
not flown by tailings.

PTFI met with the Minister of Environment on June 17. The purpose of the meeting is
to update the Minister on the Big Gossan incident and to remind him on the
follow-up of KepMen431 revision. The minister advised that discussion on the
KepMen431 revision be on hold until the inauguration of the new MoE Deputy
sometimes in July 2013.

PROPER
No new update. PTFI continues to be exempted from this year PROPER Audit. PJP
submitted self-assessment questioner in lieu of PROPER verification for site visit. The
document is being reviewed by MoE. Feedback is expected to be received in July.

Implementing New Regulations

MoE Deputy IV in charge of B3, B3 Wwastes and Dumping (Nelly) socialized the latest
draft version of the B3 wastes regulation which was dated May 23, 2013, which and
essentially does not change from the previous version. in which L large volume mining
and energy wastes, such as tailings and fly ash are still classified as Special B3 wastes.
As reported in the last month report, Indonesian Mining Association hold its position that
these mining and energy wastes should not be listed as B3 wastes, but suggest site
specific management insteadof these wastes. Nelly met with representative of
Indonesian Chamber of Commerce on June 10, and basically mentioned that the draft
regulation is final. The draft regulation continues to be on hold to be discussed with the
Ministry of Law and Human Right, until the industry concerns are addressed by MoE.

Reclamation/Mine Closure
MEMR invited PTFI and other mining companies on a workshop of reclamation and mine
closure plan. The purpose is to guide mine operators to prepare technical aspects of
mine reclamation and mine closure plan. About 180 representative mining companies
attended the workshop. Cost of reclamation and mine closure plans which is were based
on a Canadian standard which is stipulated in the Minister of Regulation Number
18:2008 was explained in detail.
Up to now, there was no update on PTFI Mine Closure Plantailings reclamation. The last
meeting was in May, in which MEMR indicated that PTFI Mine Closure Document was
was technically complete, and was awaiting approval from the Director General of
Mineral and Coal.

Pyrite Pond Project

External law firm provided a draft analysis on the legal review of the planned
placement of the PCon material into the ModADA. The draft analysis indicated that such
placement is legally possible on the basis of broad designation of the Mimika region as
the backbone mining zone in the National Spatial Plan based on government regulation
Number 26 year 2008. The law firm recommends further for PTFI to work with local
Mimika government to draft up the detailed spatial plan of the ModADA.

Environmental Complaint
PTFI received a Ccopy of athe letter from the Provincial Papua Mining office in Jayapura
was received. The letter is about a complaint from the East Coastal Community Forum
on the sedimentation in the tailings estuary area. The Provincial Mining office responded
to the letter and report that the location being referred by the community is not being
presented in enough detail in a form of a map, and asked the community to pinpoint the
exact location of their residence. We plan to meet with the Head of Papua provincial
office to update them on the chronology of tailings management and the current efforts
and dialog we have with MoE and the Provincial Environmental office.

Sedimentation at Estuary
The initial kick-off meeting with Happold and IPB to discuss the scope of the Coastal
Management Plan is being set on July, 30 in Bogor. There is a plan to conduct a wider
stakeholder kick-off meeting in Timika in August or September.
Phase 2 alternative channel excavation preparation is underway. During the month, the
local contractor completed 20075 meters of excavated channel completed out of 600
meters. It is estimated that the whole channel will be completed in August 2013 to
temporarily ease the community travel through tailings estuary. Two potential dredging
companies were invited to Site in order to provide them with an overview of the
sedimentation in the tailings channel and shipping channels to help them better
understand site condition.

External Audit
PTFI met with ITB to discuss preliminary plan to conduct triennial audit and plan to
overlap with the new requirement of mandatory environmental audit as stipulated in the
new Ministerial Decree Number 17 Year 2013 on the Environmental Audit. The external
audit is being planned for May 2014.

Management - lowland, several PHMC facilities, Portsite Clinic, Environmental
Biotic Monitoring Portsite, and AVCO.

Activities related with Audits and Inspection:

Received information from Geo-Hydrology associated with wells to be installed at

MP73 landfill to follow-up recommendation from External Audit. Currently, the
bidding is in process to select drillers for installing wells.
Conducted meeting with Contract Department to discuss 2012 FCX Audit finding
which is related with contractors performance evaluation. The finding still could
not be closed because the system has not yet been established. so that the
contractors evaluation has not been conducted.

Waste Management & Recycle Program

Discussion with Mahaka Lime Plant and Grasberg Engineering was conducted for
used oil generation and collection to ensure enough storage while Mahaka Lime
Plant and Dewatering Plant are in shut-down condition due to stoppage of no mining
operation or no dedicated manpower for transporting raw material to Mahaka Lime
Plant. After calculating used oil that are generated and the availability of storage
space, it was concluded that used oil storage was sufficient during this temporary
situation.

Figure 2 Observing used oil at Grasberg Maintenance (left) and MP74 (right)
There were 34 containers of hazardous waste were shipped outside jobsite for
further treatment with MV. Sawu Sea72AJ and MV. Flores Sea73AJ. Following are
statistics for Hazardous Material Authorization Forms which have been reviewed
until end of June 2013 and hazardous waste shipped.

A total of 49 analytical result reports from Timika Environmental Laboratory for

Oil-Water Separator (OWS) effluent sampling conducted on June 2013 were
reviewed. Six of the monitoring results are above the permit standard; they are
LIP Power Plant, MP74 Refueling Station, MP39 KPI Lube Shop, MP74 Power Plant
AB, MP74 Power Plant C and MLA LHD Shop. Corrective sampling hadve been
conducted before end of the month and the result met the permit standard.
Several samples were not taken for five OWS stations due to the security reason
(XC-9 Shop, XC-3 Shop and KPI East Levee Shop) and construction reason (MP66
Refueling Station and MP32 Refueling Station).
Activities related with legal compliance:

12

Conducted environmental investigation regarding the incompliance of the its

effluent:
1. OWS at LIP Power Plant was due to washing activities for parts after PM
Engine Check Unit # 4. The corrective sampling has been taken.
2. OWS at MP74 Refueling Station was due to fuel guns valve which was not
locked properly in the afternoon causing leaking of diesel fuel which flow
to drip pan first. However, since there was no employee working
afterwards, the drip pan cannot hold all the leaking causing then flow to
OWS. The OWS would be cleaned.
3. OWS at KPI Lube Shop MP39 was due to inappropriate practice, i.e., oil
collected in lube pit was pumped into drainage that reports to OWS and
there was no communication among shop mechanics, SHE
Representative, and supervisor regarding shops condition. The RCPA is
being drafted.
4. OWS at MP74 AB Power Plant and C Power Plant was due to the lack of
maintenance at these facilities due to the unsafe conditions at mine area.
5. OWS at MLA Shop owned by Underground Mine Maintenance effluent was
due to inadequate maintenance of OWS.
Conducted weekly OWS observation to permitted OWS facilities. The result of
observations has been communicated to area owner, such as:
1. SHE Representative at MP66 KPI HD Shop to update their weekly
inspection form.
2. Sandvik LIP to clean up their OWS due to turbid effluent that showed
during visual effluent observation.
3. LIP Electric Shop for no separation process (similar appearance at each
chamber). Samples from this station have been collected and sent to
Timika Lab for further investigation.
Conducted compliance permit audit for second quarter of 2013 at OWS of
Amole Besar Shop, Kasuang Shop, Kasuang Refueling Shop, Bukit Batu Shop,
