- The 2nd Largest Pure-play Gold Producer in Southeast Asia, with Significantly De-Risked Near-term Expansion Potential
PT Archi Indonesia Tbk (Archi) is the 2nd largest pure-play gold producers in Southeast Asia, based on the gold production volume in 2019. Pure-play means that majority of the Company’s contribution of revenue is driven from the gold products (2020 contribution: 98%). It means that Archi is categorized as one of the pure gold stocks proxy in Indonesia capital market.
Archi operates Toka Tindung Gold Mine through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PT Meares Soputan Mining (MSM) and PT Tambang Tondano Nusajaya (TTN), which both are the Contract of Works (CoWs) holders. The concession area covers around 40,000 hectares, with 5.5 moz of mineral resources and 3.9 moz of ore reserves have been identified as of 31 Dec 2020. Toka Tindung Gold Mine has established operation with 200+ koz of Annual Gold Production and 10 years of uninterrupted production history.
Toka Tindung Gold Mine is also having significantly de-risked near-term upside expansion potential, with lower capex requirements (average yearly capex requirements only around US$70 million), multiple drilling and data points have been identified, expected processing capacity expansion, and also equipped with larger mining fleets to support its operation.

Within the concessions area, Archi has identified significant potential upside of ore reserves discovery, ranging from 5.3 moz – 13.0 moz (FS conducted by ENMINTECH, and verified by SRK Independent Consultant) which consists from Near-Mine targets, Western Corridor targets, and Greenfield targets. With the expected Processing Plant capacity expansion to reach 8.0 Mtpa by end of 2025, Archi could produce up to 450 koz of gold per year, and become the largest pure-play gold producer in Indonesia.
