The Government has cancelled PT Mega Bintang Borneo’s prospecting license and the mining company has been told to stop its operations in Central Rennell.
A statement from the Ministry of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification this morning says Bintang Borneo was instructed to halt all mining operations and to remove all its mining equipment and machines from Central Rennell Island.
The Ministry says the company is restricted from mining in tenement areas covered under the Asia Pacific Investment Development’s prospecting license.
