Both activities are mainly carried out at the Kideco mine after the renewal of mining services contracts.

"For the purchase of equipment and equipment, we allocate capital expenditure (capex) of about US $ 13.8 million for next year," said Ahmad Zaki, Investor Relations MYOH, in Jakarta, Tuesday (12/12/2017) ).

Ahmad argued, when compared with the capex MYOH in 2017 of US $ 3.12 million, then the amount of company capex budgeted for next year increased more than threefold.

"The surge in the allocated capex is one of our measures to anticipate the increase of target charged by the company's clients in 2018," said Ahmad.

Ahmad said, heavy equipment to be purchased by the company is dump trucks, excavators, cranes and various types of pumps. The Company has now ordered heavy equipment so it is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2018.
