Head of Department of Industry and Trade, Energy and Mineral Resources, West Kalimantan Province, Sy. Kamaruzzaman explained that bauxite resources in West Kalimantan reached 2.07 billion tons or equal to 57.32 percent of all bauxite in Indonesia.
Meanwhile, bauxite reserves were recorded at 0.84 billion tons or equal to 66.77 percent of the total bauxite mineral reserves in Indonesia.
But, unfortunately, West Kalimantan does not have much smelter to bring down this potential. Meanwhile, a smelter or bauxite smelter is an industrial facility used to process raw bauxite into more pure products, such as alumina.
