Asia Pacific Mining Resources has been established in Indonesia since 1999 by its present owner who has a long experience in the mining and trading business in Indonesia, Australia and South Africa. Started with coal trading at the time, the company also moved upstream into coal mining and exploration in cooperation with several concession holders in South and East Kalimantan, and Sumatera. Asia Pacific Mining Resources (APMR) operates within the rules and regulations under the law of the Republic of Indonesia and fully complies with Domestic Market Obligation for the Coal Mining Industry. Most of its coal supplies are designated for the domestic market. APMR has in the meantime spread its wings into trading and mining of minerals.
