Jakarta, December 22, 2025 – BUMA Australia Pty Ltd (“BUMA Australia”), a wholly owned subsidiary of
PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama (“BUMA”) under PT BUMA Internasional Grup Tbk (“BUMA International
Group, IDX: DOID”), today announced a multi-year contract extension valued at approximately AU$740
million with Blackwater Operations Pty Ltd (“Blackwater”), a subsidiary of Whitehaven Coal Mining
Limited (“Whitehaven”). The extension secures BUMA Australia’s operations at the Blackwater Mine in
Central Queensland’s Bowen Basin, one of Australia’s largest open-cut metallurgical coal operations, through
to June 2030, cementing BUMA Australia’s role as a long-term partner delivering extensive pre-strip
operations at the site.
Johan Ballot, CEO of BUMA Australia, stated, “This extension underscores Whitehaven’s confidence in
BUMA Australia to deliver safely and efficiently at scale across one of Queensland’s largest metallurgical-
coal operations. Our understanding of site conditions, strong local team, and consistent results enable us
to sustain productivity while contributing to the long-term success of the Blackwater Mine.”
Located 20 kilometers south of the township of Blackwater, the mine spans an 80-kilometre strike length
across multiple pits and remains a key economic driver in Central Queensland. BUMA Australia, together
with its Predecessor Operations, has delivered mining services at Blackwater since 2012, employing
approximately 390 permanent personnel and drawing on experience with the site’s complex geology. The
company upholds industry-leading safety performance and leverages advanced monitoring systems, both
third party and in-house for predictive maintenance and real-time fleet optimization.
“This renewed partnership with Whitehaven strengthens our portfolio of Tier-1 operations and reinforces
BUMA’s reputation for delivering sustainable, world-class performance,” said Iwan Fuad Salim, Director of
BUMA International Group. “It enhances the Group’s earnings visibility and cash-flow stability through long-
term partnerships with high-quality clients, while supporting our broader growth and diversification
strategy.”
Beyond operations, BUMA Australia continues to generate local and social value across Central
Queensland. At Blackwater, the company actively supports local initiatives through job creation, skills

and community events continues to foster local connections and contributes to long-term resilience.
