A total of 27 mining companies signed on Wednesday amendment of their mining contracts with Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Ignasius Jonan.
They include 12 mineral mining firms holding the mining contracts of work (or KK) and 15 coal mining firms holding the coal contracts of work (or PKP2B).
