Mining investment
Mining investment & acquisition in Indonesia
The register holds 7,542 business entities with 8,285 permits over 8,623,855 hectares. This page sets out how an investor or buyer enters that market, what the record lets you verify before you spend, and what ownership already looks like.
Four ways into an asset
Take over a permit
The holder transfers the licence; the transfer is filed with the government, and the register records the result.
Joint operation or joint venture
You fund or operate alongside the holder. The register shows who you would be joining.
Acquire the company
Buy the entity that holds the permit. The register records its directors, shareholders and deeds — that is the diligence starting point.
Apply for a new permit
Start from zero, through the permit process.
Foreign ownership on record
Of 1,104 permit holders across the five main commodities whose ownership the register records, 297 list at least one shareholder who is not an Indonesian citizen. The largest single non-WNI stake recorded is 100.00%. Entities whose ownership is not recorded are not counted, and no record is not the same as no foreign ownership.

Investor questions
- How many mining companies are registered in Indonesia?
- The register this platform holds records 7,542 business entities with 8,285 permits covering 8,623,855 hectares.
- Is foreign ownership allowed in Indonesian mining?
- Foreign shareholders are already recorded in this register: of 1,104 holders of the five main commodities whose ownership is on record, 297 list at least one non-Indonesian shareholder, the largest single non-WNI stake being 100.00%. The rules themselves come from the regulations, not from us.
- What should I verify before buying a mining asset in Indonesia?
- The permit itself (type, stage, area, validity), the holder's corporate identity, its directors and shareholders, and any recorded deed. All of it is on the entity pages of this register, each with its source.
- Can I buy a mine directly from this site?
- No listing here is a transaction. Teramine shows the record and the assets owners have chosen to publish; the transfer itself is a regulated process handled with the authorities.
- Do you provide due diligence?
- Yes — permit work and verification are a service of this platform, alongside the register that makes the verification possible.
