"At the national level, these efforts are led by Indonesia�s anti-graft agency, the KPK, which in 2014 launched an investigation into the mining industry by examining the legality of permits issued in 12 provinces. The investigation revealed that 40 percent of the nearly 11,000 licenses issued in these provinces were not clean and clear"
What mickey mouse show are these guys running, should any of those companies find large resource they can revocate the licenses, let them spend millions but if something large comes lets take it, Indonesia are aware of irregularities on licenses.
40% of the 11,000 licenses are deemed unclean/unclear, now you know why they want you to sign the COW and not be allowed to take it to international tribunal. You will have no rights whatsoever should they decide one day to give your license to an Indonesian company..
At the moment ARS are at the exploration phase, let me know when you get to the exploitation phase.
