The only way to do coal mining investment in indonesia is to have indonesian operators and partners that you've known for YEARS, and even THEN, you have to stage investment, do very patient, slow DD, and EVEN THEN, you will hit bumps.

If you can HOLD on, you make a fortune, but you are tested EVERY DAY.

The ang mohs I know in Kukar doing this sort of work have Indonesian wives, kids in Indonesian schools, and speak and read malay/indo. The degree of immersion required is TOTAL.

You can't just "buy" your way into Indo: there are plenty of billionaires, there!!! You have to have a REAL partnership, and I know of only a handful of co's that have this in E. Kalimantan.
