The Integrated Team, composed of representatives from villages around the Martabe Gold Mine, along with representatives from various departments at Agincourt Resources such as Environment, Community Relations, Corporate Communications, and Government Relations, directly collected water samples at four points along the Batang Toru River. These samples will then be sent to the independent laboratory PT Intertek Utama Service in Jakarta for comprehensive testing.
In his remarks, Ongku Muda Atas Sormin emphasized the important role of the Integrated Team in maintaining environmental quality. “With the signing of the Decree (SK) of the Integrated Team for the 2024-2028 period, I hope all team members can work to their full potential and uphold the values of local wisdom,” he said.
The periodic monitoring of processed water quality is one form of Agincourt Resources’ commitment to ensuring that mining operations do not have a negative impact on the environment and surrounding communities. The laboratory test results will be announced publicly so that the public can directly know the quality of the Batang Toru River water.
