Emergency preparedness is not only essential for maintaining safety in mining operations but can also benefit communities facing disasters. This commitment is reflected in the contribution of Agincourt Resources’ Emergency Response Team (ERT) to earthquake response efforts in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara.
In recognition of this contribution, Agincourt Resources, through its ERT, received the 2026 ESDM Disaster Response Team Humanitarian Action Award from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM). The award ceremony took place on 30 September 2026 at the Soemantri Brojonegoro Building, Directorate General of Electricity, Jakarta.
The event was attended by Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Director General of Mineral and Coal Tri Winarno, Secretary of the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal Totoh Abdul Fatah, Director of Mineral Business Development Cecep Mochammad Yasin, Director of Coal Business Development Asep Kurnia Permana, Director of Mineral and Coal Revenue Hendra Iswahyudi, Director of Mineral and Coal Engineering and Environment and Chief Mine Inspector Ahmad Syauqi, and Head of the Mineral and Coal Testing Centre Wakhid Hasyim.
Agincourt Resources was represented by Manager Government Relations and Compliances Hans Detaq. Representatives from other mining companies receiving awards also attended the ceremony, which brought together approximately 80 participants.
During the event, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Director General of Mineral and Coal Tri Winarno expressed his appreciation to companies and organisations that had contributed to humanitarian efforts and disaster response. He emphasised the importance of business sector involvement in strengthening emergency preparedness and cross-sector collaboration in responding to emergencies.
“May our collective efforts be regarded as acts of kindness and bring benefits to the affected communities, particularly those in East Nusa Tenggara Province,” said Tri Winarno.
The award recognises the mining sector’s support for earthquake response efforts in East Nusa Tenggara Province, as outlined in the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal’s letter No. B-7693/MB.07/DBT.KP/2026, dated 16 August 2026.
