Since 2012, the Martabe Gold Mine has had a well–deserved reputation as an industry leader in terms of safety, sustainability, and production processes. With our people at the heart of our business, we use innovative practices and the latest technologies to discover new resources and to mine, process, move and market our future–enabling products to our customers safely and sustainably. We work collaboratively with our stakeholders to enhance our contribution to sustainable development in North Sumatra and across Indonesia.
