The templok method is a revegetation technique that involves combining a planting medium (Proganics), water, adhesive agent (Teraglue), and Legume Cover Crop (LCC) seeds, before attaching or throwing the mixture onto areas designated for revegetation. The application of this method is expected to improve slope stability, reduce erosion risks, and accelerate the restoration of green cover in areas affected by operational activities.

Prior to the planting activity, participants received an introduction to the project area from Project Execution Manager, Bob Pardede. During his presentation, Bob explained the condition of the revegetation site, the objectives of the activity, and the long-term benefits anticipated from the greening initiative.

In his report, Senior Manager Environment, Health & Safety, Hari Ananto, explained that Agincourt Resources’ 2026 World Environment Day commemoration is being carried out through a series of activities under the theme “Time to Act for the Climate.” The programme commenced with today’s tree planting and slope revegetation activity, symbolising the Company’s commitment to ecosystem restoration and responsible environmental management.

The Senior Manager Environment, Health & Safety also noted that the Martabe Green to School programme was conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Batang Toru on 3 June 2026 and will continue at SMA Negeri 1 Batang Toru on 18 June 2026 as part of efforts to strengthen environmental education and awareness from an early age. In addition, a range of activities has been organised to mark this year’s World Environment Day, including a wildlife photography competition, an environmental quiz, and a campaign reels video competition, encouraging employees and students alike to participate actively and creatively in environmental conservation initiatives.

“Through these various initiatives, we hope to foster a spirit of collaboration and shared responsibility in protecting the environment, as the actions we take today will form the foundation for a better future,” he said. Meanwhile, the opening remarks were delivered by Agincourt Resources General Manager Operations, Wira Dharma Putra. In his address, he emphasised that the 2026 World Environment Day theme, “Time to Act for the Climate,” serves as a reminder of the importance of taking concrete action in addressing the challenges of climate change. He stated that the tree planting and slope revegetation activities demonstrate Agincourt Resources’ commitment to environmental stewardship, ecosystem restoration, and the advancement of responsible and sustainable mining practices. He also encouraged all stakeholders to continue working together, as protecting the environment is a shared responsibility for both present and future generations.

The activity was attended by members of management, employees, and business partners, who participated collectively in the greening and rehabilitation of the slope area. Through tree planting and revegetation using the templok method, Agincourt Resources seeks to strengthen the ecological functions of the area while supporting responsible and sustainable mining practices.

Agincourt Resources consistently prioritises environmental protection through various rehabilitation and revegetation programmes. These efforts are undertaken to minimise the negative impacts of mining activities by restoring land functions as close as possible to their natural condition. Such rehabilitation processes require careful planning and the application of appropriate methods to ensure effective and sustainable outcomes. 

One of the revegetation methods implemented by Agincourt Resources is the pillow ball technique. This method serves as an environmental restoration solution, particularly for open areas that present technical challenges such as steep slopes, high erosion rates, or limited access. Under these conditions, conventional planting or seeding methods are often difficult to apply or result in low success rates.

The pillow ball technique involves wrapping a mixture of compost, straw, organic materials (proganics), and ground cover plant seeds, namely Legume Cover Crops (leguminous plants used as ground cover), in coconut fibre netting (cocomesh). The wrapped materials are then shaped into elongated, pillow-like forms measuring up to approximately two metres in length, although the size can be adjusted according to site requirements and field conditions. The pillow balls are subsequently placed in the designated revegetation areas to support plant growth.  The application of the pillow ball method offers several advantages, including: 

• Accelerating germination, as the mulch mixture within the pillow ball helps maintain soil moisture, creating ideal conditions for seeds to germinate and develop strong root systems. 
• Controlling erosion, with the mulch layer acting as a protective cover for the soil surface against the effects of rainfall, wind, and direct sunlight. 
• Suitability for challenging terrain, such as steep slopes or areas with limited access, where conventional revegetation methods cannot be effectively implemented. 

Through the implementation of the pillow ball technique, Agincourt Resources demonstrates its commitment to responsible environmental management. This method not only supports post-mining land restoration but also forms part of the company’s ongoing efforts to maintain a balance between operational activities and environmental sustainability.
