The company develops reclamation plans based on the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Good Mining Engineering Principles. PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (PT TBP Tbk) will conduct reclamation in the form of other forms of reclamation and revegetation reclamation.
Reclamation activities will be carried out in stages every time there is land that has been mined out and land that is no longer actively utilized. This reclamation stage is in accordance with the designation and land area that has been determined in the Reclamation Plan approved by the government. The company will also place a reclamation guarantee as the company's commitment to carry out reclamation. The challenges faced on former nickel mining land are nutrient-poor and thin soil. To improve plant growth in revegetation reclamation activities, the company is improving soil conditions. The types of plants used are cover crops and trees, both pioneer or fast growing species and local plants.
The following picture shows the reclaimed land area that has been successfully revegetated by the company.
PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (PT TBP Tbk) in implementing the post-mining program refers to the PT TBP Tbk Post-Mining Plan document prepared in accordance with Appendix VI of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No.1827.K/30/MEM/2018 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Good Mining Practices. The company will place a post-mining guarantee as a commitment in implementing the post-mining program.
PT TBP's area is designated as part of the Obi Industrial Estate (KIO) which supports nickel downstream program activities. Obi Island Industrial Estate is an industrial estate that has been designated by the Government of Indonesia as one of the managers of the Obi Island Industrial Estate National Strategic Project (PSN), as stipulated in the provisions of the Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 109 of 2020 concerning the Third Amendment to Presidential Regulation Number 3 of 2016 concerning the Acceleration of the Implementation of PSN, whose appendix was last amended by the Regulation of the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 7 of 2023 concerning the Third Amendment to the Regulation of the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Number 7 of 2021 concerning Amendments to the List of National Strategic Projects.

In addition to reclamation, the company will conduct community development program activities that can provide economic and social benefits to the surrounding community. The post-mining program activities are expected to provide sustainable benefits from both environmental, as well as social and economic aspects.
