Who We Are:
Antam Described
We are a diversified, Indonesian, state-owned, vertically integrated, mining and metals company. Our DIVERSE PRODUCT MIX
main strengths are our low cost operations, our vast high quality reserves of nickel and bauxite, our
strong financial structure, our nearly forty years of experience, our location in mineral-rich Indonesia, 1%
9%
our vast acreage of licensed exploration territories, and our loyal and dedicated staff. Our main
1%
commodities are nickel, gold and bauxite. With a recent nickel expansion and due to price increases,
most of our revenues are now related to nickel. Our main goal is to create shareholder value by getting
bigger and better and doing it in a sustainable and correct way. Our main strategy is to extract as much
value as possible from our existing reserves by moving downstream from exporting ore into processing 41% 48%
activities. We are also keen to diversify away into other commodities as long as there is a good return
and a match with our business. In general we are only interested in Indonesian assets as the returns
are higher and we can benefit from our domestic knowledge and experience.

We currently produce and export around 5.5 – 7 million wet metric tons of nickel ore, around 17,000
– 18,000 tonnes of nickel contained in ferronickel, 100,000 – 115,000 troy ounces of gold, 700,000 Ferronickel
– 800,000 ounces of silver and 1.2 – 1.5 million wmt of bauxite. As our strategy is implemented in Nickel Ore
the upcoming years we expect to see ore exports come to a halt, with our ferronickel production Gold
increasing and the commencement of alumina production, which uses bauxite as ore feed. In
Bauxite
general we have amongst the lowest operating costs in the business, except for our ferronickel
operations. Ferronickel costs have come up due to the removal of national fuel subsidies and rising Silver
international prices. However, we will convert to a lower cost fuel and regain our low cost position.
Our customers are mostly long term and bluechip international companies, located in North Asia Our upcoming investments will diversify our
and Europe. About half of our gold and silver is sold domestically. revenue away from the current dominance
of nickel.

We are financially prudent and like to have very little debt and large cash holdings. Only when the time
is right will we leverage the balance sheet to invest and grow.

We are 65% held by the Indonesian government, with the other 35% held by the public. Most of the
public investors are long term large, foreign institutional investors. Although recently the amount of
domestic institutional, as well as retail investors, has been increasing.

Nickel is a metallic element which is sold in many forms such as cathode, granules, shots and ingots. About 85% of metallic
nickel is used in combination with other metals to make what are known as alloys. Nickel-containing alloys are highly regarded
for their superior combinations of toughness, strength, and corrosion resistance, and their ability to retain these properties at
extremes of temperature. About 65% of nickel is used to make stainless steel which is the ideal base material for commercial
applications. Stainless steel is used in cutlery, industrial equipment, structural alloys in automotive and aerospace assembly
and building material in skyscrapers and other large buildings.

Gold is a precious metal which, for many centuries, has been used as money, as a store of value and in jewelry. Modern
industrial uses of gold include dentistry and electronics.

1. Jet engines rely on the sturdiness and
non corrosive characteristics of nickel
plated stainless steel material.

2. The Chrysler Building was made using


316L stainless steel and is a testament
to the anti-corrosive properties of high
quality 300 series stainless steel.

3. The second most important usage of


nickel is batteries, a key growth area.

4. Antam’s .9999 fine gold is internationally


accredited.

5. The heat resistant nature of nickel protects


and strengthens the engine block.

An Amazing Year
By all accounts 2007 was an amazing year. Due to a substantial
increase in our output of nickel contained in ferronickel (despite a leak
at FeNi III smelter) and almost doubling our nickel ore exports in
combination with record breaking nickel prices, we produced more
cash, made more profit, created the largest margins, than we ever have
before. We will look back at 2007 as the year that laid the foundation
for the next expansion. As well as increasing profits, 2007 was also an
amazing year in terms of breaking into the Chinese nickel ore market
and in terms of forging new alliances and partnerships with China.
We signed many agreements, some of which we acknowledge will
come to nothing, but offer the best way to ensure we are finding the
best partners and executing the best development plans for our large
reserves and resources.

While we do not expect 2008 will be as profitable as 2007, it will be


equally as important in terms of executing our growth plans and make
important investments to grow, such that in three to five years time
the profit levels of 2007 will not be considered amazing, they will be
considered normal. We generated amazing returns in 2007 so we can
build a better future for tomorrow.

Outperforming
Our Peers
Often we are unfairly assumed to be an underperformer. Perhaps
this is due to the sometimes poor image of Indonesian state-owned
enterprises as being sluggish, lacking competence and perhaps
corrupt. As well, the ramp up of our FeNi III smelter has experienced a
couple of setbacks with a leak in 2006 and a leak in 2007. Every new
furnace leaks, and ramp ups to optimal capacity will take many years,
but the expectations were high and many assumed FeNi III would
quickly reach full capacity. As well, as we find the best partners and
plans for developing our vast reserves into the most value creating
operations, we have signed many agreements, some of which expired,
leaving some to suggest all we do is sign non-binding agreements
and we need to speed up our development projects.

Some have said our excellent profit growth over the past couple of
years is simply due to the unexpectedly high nickel prices; that we
had gotten lucky.

The reality is that over the past number of years, well before the
commodity boom began and during the construction period of
FeNi III, we have consistently outperformed our peers, who also
were beneficiaries of high commodity prices. The numbers, as you
can see below, speak for themselves. Our plan is to continue to
deliver industry beating performance.

Delivering Significant
Shareholder Returns
What it all boils down to for most investors is the shareprice and dividend performance of their
different investments, something that is reflected in the calculation of total shareholder returns.

We had a record year in terms of generating total shareholder returns, which increased to 180%
or Rp2,920.12. Our shareprice rose 176% to end the year at Rp4,475. This compares with total
shareholder returns of 126% or Rp910.01 in 2006. As in the preceding two years, our share price
outperformed the Indonesian Stock Exchange, every major international index and all major mining
indices.

As in every year since listing on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in 1997, we returned value to
our shareholders by way of a generous cash dividend. We paid a cash dividend in the amount of
Rp621 billion, or 40% of our net profits after tax for the year ended December 31st, 2006.

Our Strategy:
How We’re Growing Value
Our strategy is as effective as it is simple. We will create maximum
shareholder value by continuing to diversify horizontally into other
commodities where suitable, while also continuing to focus on
those commodities we know best, which are nickel, gold and
bauxite. We will diversify through an active exploration program
and through strategic acquisitions.

We will also maintain a diversity of customers so as to not be overly reliant on any one market.
We will also continue to diversify vertically by moving downstream in order to increase the value-
added of our operations. While some of the bigger international mining companies have claimed
they will now start to move upstream, they are moving from now lower margin refining back into
smelting, or from packaging to refining. We are moving downstream to the first level of processing
where the increased value is substantial. Later on, if it makes good business sense, we will move
further downstream, such as from ferronickel to stainless steel. We have focused on nickel, gold
and bauxite in the past and this has proven to be a winning combination. Our results in 2007 are
largely due to the increased value that came from moving more downstream by building additional
ferronickel capacity.

We will focus on mines and deposits in Indonesia as not only do we benefit from our knowledge
of Indonesia, but the industry in general has higher returns than elsewhere. However we will
actively seek international partnerships with world class mining companies to best develop our
vast reserves in the most efficient, profitable and correct way. We will engage the rise of China and
increasingly India by seeking to form partnerships with Chinese companies, viewing China as an
opportunity not a threat.

We will continue to be a low cost operator and holder of large reserves and resources and continually
strive to improve in these areas. We will also continue to not overly burden our balance sheet and
take a prudent approach to making investments, which must generate a return of at least 15%.

What it All Boils Down to:


Our Reserves

Without reserves, a mining company is nothing. Unlike other businesses, the life of a mining
company can be very easily determined, based solely on the size and quality of its reserves.
Our reserves are the basis of our strategy. All the other strategies stem from the decisions we
make about how we can create the most value from our existing large reserves and resources.
The reserves of our gold, one of our three core commodities, are dwindling and so we are actively
seeking to discover or acquire more gold. Without having good knowledge of your reserves,
subsequent planning will be misguided. For this reason, and also to fulfill a listing requirement of
the ASX, every year we estimate our reserves according to the JORC Code, which is determined
by the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

A Well Governed
State-Owned Enterprise

We take corporate governance extremely seriously.


Firstly, because we believe good corporate
governance is a good business decision. Especially
for a mining company in Indonesia, behaving in a
clear, consistent, fair, accountable, responsible way
will yield the highest and most durable profits. As well,
important aspects of the business, such as raising
capital, to finding partners, to securing favourable
terms with our suppliers can all benefit from being a
well governed company.
Secondly, it’s simply about operating ethically; about doing the right thing, about making good
profits, but also about giving back to the communities we operate, in ways other than just
generating economic development. We want to be a partner with the communities we are in and
work together with them for the best possible outcomes.

• JVA = Joint Venture Agreement

With large cash reserves following a recent expansion of our nickel volumes and thanks to a strong nickel price, we are ready to make
new investments for our next phase of growth. With average annual nickel prices likely softening in the next couple of years and with
little production growth if any in 2008, we feel it is imperative for our shareholders to also look carefully at our growth in the next three to
five years.

With large reserves of nickel and bauxite we are investing, often together with experienced international partners, for a better future. This
means moving downstream to create more value from our reserves. We want to squeeze as much value as possible from our reserves,
which means careful planning and execution. Currently we have smelter and chemical grade alumina projects building on our bauxite
reserves, with Chinese, Japanese, Russian and European mining and metal companies. We have a massive nickel project with BHP
Billiton, which will likely use both phyrometallurgy and more advanced hydrometallurgy, to best process our largest nickel deposit, at Buli,
North Maluku. We have two Nickel Contained in Pig Iron projects, with Tsingshan and Jindal which would use simple blast furnaces to
process our low grade nickel ore into NCPI and then if feasible, move further downstream into stainless steel. We have a sponge iron
project with PT Krakatau Steel. We will also invest in cost reduction, to convert from high cost diesel, to either coal, hydro or natural gas,
and create a substantial cash cost reduction.

On the acquisition side, we are looking to acquire gold assets in Indonesia to replenish our dwindling gold reserves and as part of the
strategy to maintain diversity, we have made a joint takeover bid for Herald Resources Ltd of Australia, which owns 80% of a lead/zinc
project called PT Dairi Prima Mineral.

This table shows a summary of some of our exciting projects. More details are provided inside in our “Investing for a Better
Future” chapter.

Our Risks and


Challenges
The mining business is inherently risky. This is even more so when operating in a country like
Indonesia which is going through many fundamental economic and political changes. Risks that
we are constantly aware of include price volatility of our main products, higher international oil
prices, currency rate fluctuations, operational disruptions and regulatory risks associated with
licensing and permits as well as the revision of the mining law.

The mining business also has many challenges. It is a capital intensive, slow yielding business
and many different moving parts must be controlled to make a viable mining and metals project
come to profitable operation. One of our main challenges right now is regaining our position as a
low cost producer of ferronickel. Although we produce our other products at low cost, because of
the removal of national fuel subsidies we have seen the cash cost of ferronickel climb consistently
higher. As at the end of 2007, we were still in the top quarter of the industry cost curve. We therefore
plan to soon convert to a lower cost fuel, such as coal, hydro or natural gas.

Market Overview
The year 2007 was a strong yet volatile year for participants in the global capital markets driven
by continuing and seemingly unstoppable growth of China, ever higher commodity prices and
a fast acting, accommodating Federal Reserve, combined with rising oil prices increasingly
global fears over the subprime mortgage crisis in US, the subsequent credit crisis and fears
of recession in the West. Although turbulent, most bourses around the world performed well,
especially in emerging markets.

The Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) also posted a significant increase of 52% to 2,746, only
beaten by China’s bourses and was the region’s third best performer. The IDX had a market
capitalization of Rp1,995 trillion with an average daily value to Rp4.3 trillion in 2007. The top three
sector performances were mining, agriculture and property. One important factor in the strong
performance of the IDX, and a new phenomenon in 2007, was the huge increase in domestic
institutional and domestic retail investors. Local investors caused daily trading volumes to soar,
significantly improving liquidity and higher valuations.

Antam’s Shares
Since 1997, Antam’s shares have traded on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX - formed by the
merger of the Jakarta Stock Exchange and Surabaya Stock Exchange in 2007). Besides a Main
Board member, the company is also a member of the Jakarta Mining Index, LQ 45 (45 most liquid
shares of the exchange) and the Jakarta Islamic Index.

Antam is also listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX - resulting from the merger of the
Australian Stock Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange in December 2006). Antam’s shares
were listed with exemptions on the ASX in 1999 and the listing was augmented to a full ASX Listing
in 2002. The purpose of Antam’s listing is to subject the company to more stringent standards of
transparency and disclosure, in particular for reporting the annual estimation of mineral resources.
Antam’s securities are traded as Chess Depository Interests (CDI) where one CDI represents five
underlying common shares, with each fully convertible into the other. In 2007, 120,250 CDIs were
traded with modest trading activities.

Corporate Action: Stock Split


At an Extraordinary General Meeting on May 30th, 2007, Antam’s shareholders approved
management’s proposal of a stock split at ratio of 1 share with a nominal value of Rp500.00 per
share to 5 new shares with a nominal value of Rp100.00 per share.

The purpose of the stock split was as follows:


1. to increase trading liquidity.
2. to improve distribution of share ownership by creating a less expensive unit price that is more
appealing to small and retail domestic investors.
3. to help create market capitalization growth.

Investor Relations

The main objective of the IR department is financial: to help lower the company’s cost of capital.
Essentially two thirds finance and one third communications, Antam’s IR attempts to achieve
this goal by creating understanding about Antam in the capital market and by raising the profile
and recognition of Antam amongst the investment community. By creating ongoing dialogues
with targeted shareholders we strive to boost Antam’s credibility and to successfully bridge
management and investors.

Antam endeavors to constantly improve transparency and disclosure to attract investors in the
competition for capital. We are dedicated to providing information that can be compared to
peers and delivered in a timely and balanced manner. While we may feel we are well known,
we recognize for the vast majority of the international capital market we are unknown. Through
proactive targeted campaigns we hope to become amongst the world’s best known and most
credible mining companies.

Similar to 2006, the Investor Relations department is under the Corporate Secretary, which
reports directly to the President Director. IR works with all the Directors, all departments and
business units. The synergies between IR and all the different levels and divisions of Antam
are vital in order to understand the facts of the company and to communicate feedback from
the capital market to management. Without good internal disclosure we cannot have good
external disclosure.

During 2007, Antam’s work included investment conferences run by international brokers in
Jakarta, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok and New York. Antam also conducted non-deal
road shows to Singapore, Hong Kong, London, Edinburgh, Boston, Washington, New York
and San Franscisco. Antam participated in two Indonesian Stock Exchange investor day

Unlike past years when we set numerous goals, Antam’s IR goal for 2008 is simply to improve
the volume and quality of contact with new investors. We want to become more proactive and
to target more investors. In order to achieve this we are revamping the website, maintaining our
level of advertising but building multi-pronged campaigns around specific events, improving our
email Newsalerts, conducting more meetings, roadshows and conferences and improving the
quality of reporting by better addressing specific financials. By choosing and focusing on this
simple goal for 2008, we hope to more effectively improve various other areas, and achieve other
sub-goals, of our investor relations.

For us the annual report is not a regulatory requirement, but is the most important investor

Direct Feedback Here, as well as throughout the pages of this annual report, are
some excerpts of the feedback to one of the questions we asked

from
in our online Investor Perception Survey 2008. The question was:
“If you could tell Antam’s management one thing, what would
that be?” The full results are available on our website. Thanks

You...
to those who participated and congratulations to the participant
who won the 10g gold bar from Logam Mulia.

FEEDBACK FROM Please do not say “we will acquire A/B/C mining company” without realization
since many people do not believe the management anymore. Sorry once
again I do not mean to put the management down, just a recommendation.

FEEDBACK FROM In maintaining Antam’s stock price in 2008, as nickel prices will be relatively
lower compared to 2007, it would be effective if Antam could give a dividend
of at least 75% from year 2007 net profit. This strategy would also be good
for the government as the main owner of Antam to meet their cash inflow
requirements for 2008.

FEEDBACK FROM Seek other resources of gold by acquisition and quickly implement
your plans.

FEEDBACK FROM Antam’s quarterly report that it files to the Australian Stock Exchange is
usually filed on the last day of the following month. How about targetting for
3 days before the end of the month?

FEEDBACK FROM Do not ever issue quarterly earnings guidance, the self-imposed benchmarks
that drive executives to sacrifice long-term strategy for a short-term payoff.
Disregard the speculator’s interest.

FEEDBACK FROM Your company’s must be more efficient in production related to the high price
of fuel (energy). Antam must improve its performance to survive in this highly
competitive sector.

FEEDBACK FROM Look for new revenue sources and increase diversification. Maintaining free
cashflow is a higher priority than profit.

FEEDBACK FROM Engage more with the press.

FEEDBACK FROM Need to be more proactive on executing some of the many deals under
consideration. Antam sometimes seems very slow at bringing new businesses
to fruition and may miss opportunities.

FEEDBACK FROM On the outlook side, Antam is diversified. But on the revenue side, nickel is
still the key catalyst. To ensure investor faith, management must continue
to deliver promises that convince public investors about its development in
metal markets, especially to diversify the lines of business (eg. gold & bauxite).
The glitches with FeNi lll, however, will leave a scratch on the perception of
Antam’s ability to sustain performance.

36 Q&A with Our Largest


Shareholder
Interview with Mr. Roes Aryawijaya, Deputy State Minister of State-Owned Enterprises in Mining, Strategic
Industry, Energy and Telecommunications.

How do you see Antam and the current Indonesian mining industry?
Antam posted significant results in 2007 with record breaking sales and profit figures. Antam was able to
capitalise on the positive momentum from the commodity boom by expanding its output. We admit the
Indonesian mining industry still faces huge challenges in the middle of the euphoria of the global mining
industry. I believe, however, Antam was able to utilise the available opportunities well.

What are your concerns regarding Antam?


I think management should pay extra attention to the trend of increased production costs. Cost reduction will
keep the competitiveness of the company in the midst of the M&A trend in the global mining industry. As well,
Antam needs to increase the competencies of its human resources as well as its processing abilities. This will
ensure fast adoption of the current mining technology and trends.

In 2008, the term of Antam’s Board of Directors as well as several members of the Board of
Commissioners comes to an end. As a majority shareholder, how does the government
see this?
A change in management is normal. The government is concerned with the future and
development of Antam and hope the change of management can take Antam in an even
better direction. The current management was able to create Antam as one of the largest
contributors to the state budget from the company’s dividends. On behalf of the government
as the majority shareholder, we would like to thank management for its contribution during
its term of service.

The government always strives to select the best people for top
management positions based on existing laws and regulations. We
conduct fit and proper tests as part of the selection process. The
process comprises several stages such as formulation of a long list
and a short list, psychological tests and interviews. Several factors
that we view include work experience, competency, dedication
and integrity.

Thank you very much for the interview. Lastly, what are your
expectations of Antam?
I would like to remind management that all efforts must focus on
how to increase the corporate and shareholders’ value which in
turn will improve the welfare of the Indonesian people. Management
needs to accelerate growth projects, both organically and
inorganically, not only with a prudent and professional approach
but also based on good corporate governance principles. I hope
that inline with the realisation of these projects, the fundamentals of
the company will be stronger so as to increase the long term value for the
company and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder,

In 2007, Antam maximized profit from high commodities prices by increasing the output of its upstream and
downstream products of nickel ore and ferronickel.

Inline with increased production and sales, Antam posted a Rp5.13 trillion net profit, a record breaking figure in
the 39 year history of Antam. To maintain the continuity of the corporate development, we encourage the Board
of Directors to start new projects which are built on the vast reserves of nickel ore and bauxite, both high grade
and low grade. As well, we continue to support management’s efforts to increase and find new reserves and
resources to support continuous corporate development.

We urge the Board of Directors to concentrate on moving downstream to more value added products, which
incorporate the smelting and refining process, as the company is currently supported by a strong cash position.
Such developments can be realized by working with more experienced partners so as to create more added
value and more jobs.

The recent trend in the mining industry is of increased acquisition activities. Acquisition opportunities might also
be feasible for Antam with its solid cash position as well as strong support from external parties.

Given the numerous development projects Antam currently has, management must prioritize and decide which
project should go ahead first.

Although the company performed well financially, the Board of Commissioners realises Antam still faces
challenges in terms of the implementation of corporate governance, human resources competencies, increasing
production costs and environmental management.

As such, we continue to encourage the implementation of good corporate governance at Antam. The Corporate
Policy Manual (CPM) serves as a guideline and reference for the implementation of corporate governance at
Antam, which can help to ensure better corporate performance and business sustainability.

The corporate policy manual is the guideline for the company’s regulations, guidelines and policies.

During the 39th anniversary of Antam on July 5th, 2007, we signed a committment to corporate governance and
a personal commitment to the Code of Conduct. The signing of both documents marks Antam’s commitment to
consistently and continuously implement the principles of GCG and adhere to a proper code of conduct, which
the Board of Commissioners realises are key success factors for a well functioning company.

In 2007, Antam’s Commissioner-level committees performed their duties and roles well. Antam has five
Commissioner-level committees, the Good Corporate Governance (GCG) Committee, Risk Management
Committee, Audit Committee, Nomination, Remuneration and HR Development Committee and Environment
and Post Mining Committee. The composition of the committee members changed with the addition of
new members for the Good Corporate Governance (GCG) Committee, Nomination, Remuneration and HR
Development Committee and Environment and Post Mining Committee. We hope the performance of the
committees will improve with the addition of the new members.

In 2007, there was a change in the composition of the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Yap Tjay Soen, Antam’s
Independent Commissioner, tendered his resignation. The resignation follows Mr. Yap Tjay Soen’s appointment
as an Independent Commissioner of PT Bank Mandiri Tbk in which he is required to follow Bank Indonesia Rule
No. 8/4/PBI 2006 on Good Corporate Governance. Antam extends its gratitude and thanks for Mr. Yap Tjay
Soen’s contribution during his term at Antam.

The Board of Commissioners also reminds the management that Antam’s human resources are a strategic
asset, which must be managed and developed in a good and integrated management system. Antam’s human
resources philosophy is to recruit, develop and keep the best human resources. The largest challenge for Antam’s
human resources mangement is to develop a work force which meets international standards. To achieve this,
management needs to have a Human Resources Charter and Human Resources Masterplan which serve as the
guidelines and methodologies to develop and implement policies, programs and development plans to create
excellent individuals.

The Human Resources Masterplan will be the guideline for human resources, both in human resources
management and learning and assessment. The plan will incorporate human resources processes, such as
employee recruitment, development, remuneration and benefits, industrial relations and employee dismissal.

The year of 2007 marks the 10th anniversary of Antam becoming a publicly listed company. We feel the
exposure to the scrutiny and rules of the domestic and international capital markets has improved the
performance of Antam.

We realise that Antam is no longer one of the low cost ferronickel producers. There are a few factors which contribute
to this, some of which are uncontrollable such as the rise of oil prices. However, other factors can be managed
better. We note that despite the relatively high production costs, ferronickel was the top earner for the company.

This is why the Board of Commissioners continuously supports the Board of Directors’ cost reduction program.
We appreciate management’s efforts to make a breakthrough in lowering cash costs, especially by finding a
cheaper energy source and to lower the use of oil to generate electricity.

We also ask the Board of Directors to improve internal controls and risk management to eliminate any
mismanagement which may add extra costs to the company and to anticipate any risks as early as possible.

In relation to corporate social responsibility and environmental management, the Board of Commissioners
continuously reminds the management to pay more attention to the firms responsibilites in terms of the physical,
social, economic, and cultural aspects of community and regional development.

The Board of Commissioners is hopeful Antam will be successful in achieving the top environmental management
level of Green from the Company Performance Rating Program (PROPER) by 2010.

The Board of Commissioners is assured that with 39 years of experience, Antam’s fundamentals are now
stronger to face any challenges and that Antam is more experienced to make profits from existing and future
opportunities. All of these, with a better internal control system and with the support of our stakeholders, will
create a better future.

Finally, the Board of Commissioners would like to extend its gratitude for the support and cooperation from the
Board of Directors, employees and other stakeholders in making Antam a bigger and better company.

Yours sincerely,

Board of Commissioners

Dear Shareholder,
It is my great pleasure to report, on behalf of all the Board of Directors, that the year 2007 was one of the best
years ever in the 39 years the company has been incorporated. When we judge our performance we look at EPS
growth, return on equity and margins and in each case it was a great year. Thanks to the boom in commodity
prices, in particular for nickel, as well as increased production volumes, we had a fantastic year in 2007 in terms
of generating a large cash position from our substantial free cash flows to lay the foundation for the next stage
of growth. We were able to maximize the value of out of our assets to succeed in our main goal of creating
considerable shareholder value. With our strong performance, which we aim to continue, we are poised for growth
and ready to create a better future in terms of growth, efficiency, value creation, profitability as well as other
aspects important to all of our stakeholders.

Generating Higher Returns


Total Shareholder Returns
We had a record year in terms of generating total shareholder returns, which increased to 180% or Rp2,920.12.
Our shareprice rose 176% to end the year at Rp4,475, after hitting an all time high of Rp5,050, with a market
capitalization of Rp42.7 trillion (US$4.5 billion). The average shareprice was Rp2,742. This compares with total
shareholder returns of 126% or Rp910.01 in 2006. As in the preceding two years, our share price outperformed the
Indonesian Stock Exchange (formed after the merger of the Jakarta and Surabaya Stock Exchanges), every major
international index and all major mining indices. As well, as in every year since listing on the Indonesian Stock
Exchange (IDX) in 1997, we returned value to our shareholder by way of a generous cash dividend. We paid a cash
dividend in the amount of Rp621 billion, or 40% of our net profits after tax for the year ended December 31st, 2006.
The cash dividend was equivalent to Rp65.12 per share (or Rp325.58 per share prior to the 5:1 stock split in July
2007). We will continue to increase the value to shareholders by way of cash dividends in the years ahead.

Profitability
Our audited consolidated net sales rose 113% to Rp12,008 billion, and with only moderate increases in operating
costs, our consolidated net profit for the year ended December 31st, 2007 surged 230% to Rp5,132 billion
(US$562million), with the EPS also increasing 230% to Rp538.08 from the Rp162.79 of 2006. Not only due to the
record breaking high international nickel prices, but also due to volume expansion and subdued cost increases at
our ferronickel and nickel ore operations, we had a year of record profitability. Our profit performance exceeded
that of the top ten non-bank companies on the IDX and our net margin of 43% was the best in the Indonesian
mining sector, as well as most comparable international mining companies.

Returns and Debt


Despite our equity position increasing due to large influxes of free cash flow by 105% to Rp8,764 billion, and
without taking on any additional debt, we were still able to significantly improve our industry-beating return on
average equity to a significant 79%, up from 36% in 2006. Knowing ROE is the ultimate indicator of management’s
ability to create value, we are delighted with such high returns and recognize the challenge lay in continuing to
maintain this performance.

Some shareholders have criticized us for not maintaining a fixed gearing ratio, or ratio of debt to equity, as they
would prefer to see us leverage the balance sheet to grow and generate returns. In 2007, we further reduced our
debt to equity to 10%. However, most of our projects are still at the feasibility stage and we do not believe in pre-
financing our projects. We are generating substantial returns without having to overly burden the balance sheet.
We will maintain our prudent policy regarding the capital structure of the company, which is to continually
reduce debt until capital expenditure plans have been finalized and debt funding is required. We will always
maintain a healthy cash position and a robust balance sheet.

Margins
Our margins improved significantly, again beating past records, with the gross margin increasing to 60%, the
operating margin increasing to 57% and the net margin rising to 43%.

Comparatively Stronger
During 2007 we met and communicated with many of our valued shareholders, investors and analysts. We found
that some investors claimed our superior performance in 2007 was because we had gotten lucky due to the
commodity boom and that a super strong nickel price had bailed out a potentially poor operational performance
due to the leak at our FeNi III smelter. This is an easy assumption to make as sometimes investors have a negative
perception about the efficiency and ability of Indonesian state-owned enterprises. However, and at the risk of
being defensive, I must point out the facts tell a different tale. The reality is we outperformed our peers in the
Indonesian, Regional and International mining sectors, looking at general mining or more specifically at nickel.
And this outperformance didn’t just occur in 2007, but in many cases over the preceding five years, before the
commodity boom began, and during the construction and ramp up of our new smelter FeNi III. In almost every
performance measurement category, whether it is sales growth, historical return on equity, or historical margins,
we have consistently equaled or beat other beneficiaries of the commodity boom.

While we never anticipated the nickel prices would soar to such heights, and we recognize the role high
prices played in the performance of the company, we also must acknowledge we made a strategic decision to
develop and maintain nickel as one of our key commodities. Mining is a difficult business and while unfortunate,
operational setbacks will occur. It is known amongst builders and designers that every new smelter needs a
couple of years before it can be run at optimal capacity.

Our Strategy
We feel the performance in 2007 is confirmation our growth strategy is working. Our strategy is as effective as it is
simple. We will create maximum shareholder value by continuing to diversify horizontally into other commodities
where suitable, while also continuing to focus on those commodities we know best,
which are nickel, gold and bauxite. We will diversify through an active exploration
program and through strategic acquisitions.

We will also maintain a diversity of customers so as to not be overly reliant on any


one market.

We will also continue to diversify vertically by moving downstream in order to increase


the value-added of our operations. While some of the bigger international mining
companies have claimed they will now start to move upstream, they are moving
from now lower margin refining back into smelting, or from packaging to refining.
We are moving downstream to the first level of processing where the increased
value is substantial. Later on, if it makes good business sense, we will move further
downstream, such as from ferronickel to stainless steel. We have focused on nickel,
gold and bauxite in the past and this has proven to be a winning combination. Our results in 2007 are largely due
to the increased value that came from moving more downstream by building additional ferronickel capacity.

We will focus on mines and deposits in Indonesia as not only do we benefit from our knowledge of Indonesia,
but the industry in general has higher returns than elsewhere. However we will actively seek international
partnerships with world class mining companies to best develop our vast reserves in the most efficient, profitable
and correct way. We will engage the rise of China and increasingly India by seeking to form partnerships with
Chinese companies, viewing China as an opportunity not a threat. We will continue to be a low cost operator and
holder of large reserves and resources and continually strive to improve in these areas. We will also continue to
not overly burden our balance sheet and take a prudent approach to making investments, which must generate
a return of at least 15%.

Operations: Increased Volumes and Some FeNi III Teething Problems


Our operations performed well in 2007. After all, it was the 28% increase in contained nickel production to
18,532 tonnes (including 1,400 tonnes of toll smelting) and the 93% increase of saprolite nickel ore production,
which together with higher nickel prices, caused our profits to increase so substantially.

* in general Antam sells what it produces. For nickel ore Antam buys higher quality ore feed from a third party located closer to the FeNi facility. For gold, Antam
sells double what it produces through trading activities.

Ferronickel
However, it is also true that due to a leak that occurred on FeNi III on June 16th, 2007, we did not achieve the
previously stated target range of 20,000 – 22,000 tonnes. While disappointing we understand there will always be
problems during the ramp up period of a new smelter. FeNi III, which began commercial operations on January
29th, 2007 after a three year construction period, has already been a great investment for us and has generated
good returns on the US$153 million contractor cost. The repairs were completed in August, were covered by the
warranty and we ramped up the unit to a safe 25 megawatts, or roughly 60% of capacity. We will continue to
slowly ramp up the furnace and determine the optimal operating conditions and as always keep you informed
with timely disclosures. However for 2008, unless we are able to safely raise the average power load above the
25 megawatts as at the end of 2007, we expect to produce 17,000 tonnes, before any toll smelting. If we are
able to safely and steadily raise the power above 25MW in the years ahead, our annual production volumes will
increase above 17,000 tonnes.

All of our ferronickel is sold to stainless steel manufacturers, with about half being sold to Europe. The price is
calculated according to the international spot price. In 2007, the achieved selling price rose 56% to US$16.16
per pound, due mainly to continuing strong demand growth from China and a lack of significant new supply. We
experienced some softening in demand due to the “de-stocking” program carried out starting in the summer
months by mills in Europe in order to lower demand. We also experienced some shipping difficulties related to
the lack of cargo space, however not significant enough to impact on our sales volumes.

Nickel Ore
To offset lower ferronickel production, we decided to raise saprolite ore exports. Saprolite is a laterite ore and is
generally processed using phyrometallurgy (or heat based smelting technology) to make ferronickel and other
intermediary nickel products. The most significant development with our nickel ore exports was our substantial
entrance into the Chinese market. We have for many years sold 2.5 million wet metric tons of high grade saprolite
to the Japanese and over the past four years around 1 million wmt of saprolite to the Eastern Europeans. At the
end of 2006 we began to see demand from China for our laterite ore, which they were already buying from the
Philippines and New Caledonia and were feeding into existing blast furnaces (a simple furnace which unlike an
electric arc furnace does not require a power plant). Normally used to make pig iron from low grade iron ore, the
Chinese firms are now using laterite to make nickel contained in pig iron (NCPI).

When we held a tender to sell 2.0 million wmt of saprolite in February 2007, twenty different Chinese firms
were represented, and three were chosen. We took the opportunity presented by the Chinese demand and we
decided to ramp our exports higher and ended up exporting 3.6 million wmt of saprolite to the Chinese, from
combined total exports of 6.9 million wmt. The demand from China for the ore was very strong, as the high
nickel prices made the high cost blast furnaces very profitable. If nickel prices were to fall below the marginal
cost of operating the typical Chinese blast furnace, demand would fall. As one of the major costs is transporting
the laterite ore to the blast furnace, many firms, including Antam are considering building such a facility at an
ore site in Indonesia. Given there might be some slackening demand from the Chinese blast furnace operators,
we are conservatively forecasting nickel ore exports of 5.5 – 5.8 million wmt for 2008. We view the entrance into
China as evidence of our ability to meet new demand and find new customers and markets. It does not contradict

our stated strategy of moving downstream into processing as the ore we sold to
the Chinese is not ore we would otherwise process ourselves.

Our Improving Corporate Governance


We are pleased to see that our corporate governance improved in 2007, which
an independent reviewer has attested to. For us good corporate governance
is a system that needs to be executed consistently and continuously to achieve
sustainable growth through management practices based on the principles of
transparency, accountability, responsibility, independency and fairness.

Some significant instances of governance improvements that took place in fiscal year 2007 include the
finalization of the Corporate Policy Manual, the performance review of individual executive directors and of
board-level committees, and the writing of our corporate sustainability report according to the principles of
international standards of reporting on such issues.

A Better Future
Robust Financial Position and Ready to Grow
We are in a very strong financial position. As at the end of 2007, we had cash of Rp4,744 billion, a 317% increase
over 2006, and long term debt had decreased 35% to Rp700 billion. With credit rating agencies reviewing our
financial structure for possible upgrades, our access to capital has never been better and we are poised for
growth. We are ready to leverage our balance sheet and make suitable high return investments to create a better
future, in terms of not only profit growth but also in terms of a better future in general for all of our stakeholders.

We believe we are well positioned to maximize the benefits of this amazing commodity boom that we are in, given
our fortunate position as a government-owned entity in a mineral rich country such as Indonesia and we see many
years of profitable and sustainable growth ahead. We have delivered industry-beating performance for the past
five years and we intend to do so for the next five years.

We want to encourage our shareholders to take a long term view. Mining is a slow yielding and long term
investment. Many of our shareholders have been with us for several years and they know the value taking a long
term view can bring. We have just finished a phase of growth and have been building the foundation for the next
phase of growth. As such, we are no longer about volume growth over the next twelve months, and due to the
softening nickel prices no longer about higher prices as our main value driver.

We have a very low debt to equity and the free cash flows will continue in 2008. In 2007, our interest bearing
debt to equity ratio decreased to 10% from 31% in 2006 while our free cash flow grew to Rp4,639 billion. We
had operating cash flows of Rp4,836 billion and capital expenditures of Rp197 billion. It is these cash flows and
other forms of funding that will pay for the various organic and acquisitive growth projects, which together with
international mining companies, will develop Antam’s vast, high quality nickel and bauxite reserves.

Upcoming Organic Projects: Cash to Flow in Next Three to Five Years


Antam has large reserves and wishes to develop these reserves to maximum benefit. Antam will seek partnerships
with international mining companies when such a tie up will create more value. In doing so, Antam will often sign
several non-binding agreements with different parties to conduct feasibility studies. Often these agreements will
not result in an formal joint venture but they are the standard means by which to find the best partner and to
develop the best plans to develop mineral reserves.

All of the projects below did not have fixed capital expenditure plans as at the end of 2007, but development plans
will soon be finalized. These projects represent some of our long term value creation possibilities.

On September 11th, 2007 we appointed Macquarie as our corporate financial advisor to advise and assist us in
relation to Antam’s project pipeline as well as in relation to acquisitions.

Tayan Chemical Grade Alumina with Japanese


On March 12th, 2007 we announced the formation of a joint venture company called Indonesia Chemical
Alumina to study the feasibility of building a chemical grade alumina (CGA) plant to develop a portion of our large
deposits of bauxite reserves at Tayan, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The formation of ICA, with Japanese partners
followed the signing of the joint venture agreement of the Tayan project in March 2006. At the end of 2007
ICA had made progress in short-listing an engineering, construction and procurement contractor (Kawasaki)
and in negotiating the financing with the export credit agency, known as the Japanese Bank for International
Cooperation. Construction is expected to begin in 2008, with output commencing at the end of 2010 or 2011.
ICA is expected to produce 300,000 tonnes of CGA for sale to Japanese and Indonesian markets.

West Kalimantan Smelter Grade Alumina with Rusal


On September 6th, 2007 we signed a Heads of Agreement with UC Rusal of Russia to jointly develop bauxite
deposits in Indonesia. The agreement called for feasibility studies to be conducted on the possibility of producing
1.2 million tonnes of SGA per year. Using bauxite reserves not required for the CGA project, the SGA project with
Rusal is still in preliminary stages. We had been looking at different Chinese partners, such as Chalco and Xinfa,
to develop SGA on Bintan Island, but those plans did not eventuate as we did not have the same perception of
the project.

West Kalimantan with Hangzhou Jinjiang Group of China


As Antam did not continue the plan with Xinfa, Smelter Grade Alumina development has moved to West
Kalimantan. At Mempawah, Antam began an SGA project with a new partner, Hangzhou Jinjiang Group, China.
Antam aims for about 55% ownership of the project. The initial estimated cost is around US$800 million – US$1
billion and the plant may process 1 million tonnes of SGA per year. Antam expects the Bankable Feasibility
Study will be completed in 2008.

Obi Island Nickel/Stainless with Tsingshan


In October 2007, we signed an agreement with Tsingshan Holding Group Co. Ltd of China to conduct a feasibility
study of jointly developing an integrated stainless steel facility at our laterite ore concession at Obi Island, North
Maluku, Indonesia. The study will consider a project which consists of a power plant, an NCPI or ferronickel
plant and a stainless steel plant and will determine the capacity and the investment amount of the facility.

The basic idea in the first stages is to mimic the blast furnaces that are operating in China, but lower the
operating costs by eliminating the cost of transporting ore to China. The main bottle neck is getting coking coal
and/or coke, which is currently not produced in Indonesia.

Pearl Nickel Project at Buli with BHP Billiton


On February 13th 2007 we signed a Heads of Agreement establishing an alliance with BHP Billiton to investigate
the joint development of an extensive nickel laterite resource on Halmahera Island, Indonesia. This project may
include the next ferronickel expansion, FeNI IV, to process our saprolite reserves and may include the use of
hydrometallurgy to process our low grade limonite reserves.

Cost Reduction
Fuel is up to 50% of the cost of producing ferronickel. Currently we use expensive diesel fuel to power our operation,
as we used to be subsidized. The plan to reduce costs in the future is to convert to a less expensive fuel.

On September 21st, 2007 we signed a five year Power Purchase Agreement with Tamboli Energy for the Pomalaa
ferronickel facility to use up to 15 megawatts of power from a nearby run-of-river power plant. The construction
is expected to take 18 months and the cheaper power will lower Antam’s ferronickel power costs by 8-10%.

While not a significant cost reduction, it demonstrates Antam’s commitment to converting to a lower cost fuel. As
well, as a renewable energy source, it will slightly reduce Antam’s carbon footprint.

Case for Antam and Shareholders Dear Shareholder Antam’s People Higher Profits Generating Higher Output for a Better Future Stake Joint Ventures

48
The major cost reduction will come in the next two years when we will convert to either natural gas, hydropower
or coal. As at the end of 2007, we were completing feasibility work on a system called a Smart Predictive Line
Controller, made by Hatch Ltd, that would allow the use of normally unsuitable coal.

Acquisitions
We will also use our strong financial position and increased access to capital to make targeted and high return
acquisitions that diversify our portfolio away from nickel.

For most of 2007 our focus was on making gold acquisitions, to benefit from a good price outlook, operational
synergies, natural hedging and in order to replenish our dwindling gold reserves, of which we have about 6 - 7
years remaining. While we are still committed to finding suitable gold acquisitions, we value diversification and if
we find a suitable acquisition in another base metal, we will take that opportunity.

At the end of 2007 we were making plans with its Chinese partner, Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan Nonfemet Co.
Ltd to make a takeover bid for Herald Resources Ltd. Herald owns a lead zinc project in Indonesia which we
want to majority own, with Zhongjin as the operator, so as to maximize value. As at the date of publishing this
annual report, we were still in the midst of our takeover bid.

We also have several minority stakes in joint ventures around Indonesia. These projects now represent potential
value for Antam as they become further developed and the commodity boom continues. Two of these projects
are currently operating, with the PT Nusa Halmahera gold operation run by Newcrest paying a hefty annual cash
dividend, which amounted to Rp155 billion in 2007.

Challenges and Risks


The main challenges we face are related to the poor regulatory environment in Indonesia due to regional autonomy,
the advent of local regents granting licenses for major mining projects and the lack of a revised mining law. We
hope the new mining law will soon be passed. Despite this, with our nearly forty years of experience we are well
placed to handle these challenges.

Another concern we face is the risk of global recession and the knock on effect to commodity prices. While we do
believe in the long term strength of commodities and the huge demand related to the emergence of China and India,
there could be period of price decreases which could seriously impact on margins. Unlike other ferronickel players
however, we have the ability to convert to a lower cost fuel, which we expect to implement in hopefully 2-3 years time.

The other concern is we need the appropriate technology to process our limonite. While blast furnaces can achieve
this when nickel prices are high, it is not certain whether they can do so when prices fall. As well, blast furnaces
can pose an environmental problem.

Another challenge is to operate in a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly fashion. This is due to
the reality that corporate social responsibility is not only the right thing to do, but it makes good sense
from a business perspective.

Thank You
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our stakeholders for supporting Antam as it has become a
renowned and leading Indonesian mining and metals company. I would also like to thank all of our stakeholders
for supporting me during my two five year terms at Antam and I wish my successor all the best in leading Antam
to its better future.

Q&A with the Board of


Directors

Isn’t ramping up ore exports contrary to your growth strategy? What do you think are the
chances that Indonesia will merge the state’s interests in mining to create the Integrated
Resource Company (IRC)? What’s the latest on the mining law?
Increasing our ore exports is not contrary to our stated growth strategy of moving downstream
into more processing activities. The reason for this is because the increase is of a low grade
nickel ore that we would not otherwise process ourselves. By meeting the demand for this
ore from Chinese blast furnaces, to make nickel contained in pig iron, we capitalized on the
hot nickel market conditions and boosted revenues significantly, while still safeguarding our
high grade ore for later value-adding processing activities. It is difficult to say if or when
the Integrated Resource Company will become a reality, as it involves multiple groups and
Ir. Dedi Aditya Sumanagara
government departments. I support the idea of the IRC as long as it will create value for President Director
shareholders. The suggested revisions to the mining law are in their final stages, with the final
hurdle being how to manage the transition period; I am cautiously optimistic the new mining
law will be passed in 2008.

Some people complain that the pace of Antam’s development is not fast enough or
focused, what do you say to that?
Those within the mining community and those that understand us well know our pace of
development is not slower than others. We just finished a massive ferronickel expansion
and have been simultaneously preparing for the Tayan chemical grade alumina expansion,
which is next in line, as well as doing feasibility work on several other projects. There are
many changes that are occurring in Indonesia, economically and politically. While we
support positive national development, it has slowed the pace of new mining investment
in the country. We expect this will improve soon. There are so many moving parts that
must be brought into alignment to make a mining project feasible and beneficial for the
Ir. Darma Ambiar
long term. We would be foolhardy to go ahead with a project until we had explored every Director of Development
avenue of development, ensured we had the best partners and mitigated as much as
possible the numerous risks. Our shareholders that have held us for three to five years
know we can deliver growth.

Antam has virtually no debt thanks to the huge cash flows and your debt repayment
programs. However, why not maintain a certain amount of leveraging to maintain growth
and improve ROE?
Being financially prudent is an important part of our strategy to meet our objective of increasing
shareholder value. While we realize that increasing leverage could improve ROE, our ROE has
actually been better compared to our peers despite our low debt level. We also acknowledge
that when the time is right, we will need a certain amount of debt to help boost our growth and
expansion. We will study any debt proposal very carefully to ensure that our capital structure
will remain healthy. We will not pre-finance any project. We will only increase our debt to finance
a project after we are sure that such a project will take off.
Kurniadi Atmosasmito, SE, MM.
Director of Finance

Antam always says it’s human resources are its best asset. Yet there’s a common negative
perception that SOE employees underperform. What’s your take on this?
That’s a good question. Such a perception is understandable given the culture of SOE
employees is often associated with being slow and underperforming. We have made
cultural and values change as top priorities. We have corporate values called PIONIR or Self
Development, Integrity, Harmony and Reputation and continuously socialise the concept. To
improve the employees’ performance, we implement the performance based management
system, a remuneration system which is based on position and performance as well as the
Balanced Score Card System.

We aim to achieve HR Excellence which includes factors such as going beyond expectations,
building partnerships and environmental awareness. We also develop our employees by
implementing the Junior Specialist Development Program (JSDP) for new employees, Antam
Ir. Syahrir Ika, MM.
Director of HR & General Affairs Specialist Development Program, Antam Leadership Development Program (ALDP) for senior
managers, and Antam Management Development Program for middle managers. I believe the
negative perception on SOEs employees will gradually change. We only need to ensure the
performances of SOE employees are on par with their private colleagues.

FeNi III unfortunately leaked again in June. How well do you think the operations
performed in 2007?
Overall I’d say 2007 was yet again a great year. Even though the unexpected FeNi III leakage
was disappointing this is common during the ramp up period. Every new smelter has its own
specific characteristics and challenges, which for FeNi III included new technology and a much
bigger capacity. On the other hand, FeNi I and II performed well, due to stable operations and
higher grade ore feed. Despite problems with FeNi III, we still were able to increase production
of ferronickel by 28%. We also increased nickel ore production 63% while keeping cost
increases to a minimum. Our revenue performed even better with 113% growth on the back of
higher sales volumes except for bauxite, together with higher nickel and gold prices. I believe

Strategy and Management


We regard our human resources as one of our most important assets. The focus of our human
resources strategy is to continuously improve our work force through the recruitment of young
and highly skilled graduates, increased training, selective workforce reductions (right-sizing)
and improvement of worker satisfaction and productivity through better alignment between
performance and compensation.

welfare and productivity.
*Note: The data is consolidated permanent employee figures of Antam Tbk and its subsidiaries.

Despite hiring young and highly skilled graduates in 2007, our permanent work force decreased
1.2% to 2,716 due to retirements. We also reduced our temporary workers substantially to increase
efficiency. To improve our work force’s productivity and welfare, we plan to selectively reduce our
total workforce further to 2,566 by 2009.

Out of our total 2,716 permanent employees in 2007, about 15% are university graduates while
about 6% are university graduates with engineering backgrounds, an improvement compared to
2006 figures when only 13% of our permanent employees were university graduates and only
4.4% were university graduates with engineering backgrounds. In line with our expansion plans,
we target 10% of our permanent employees having engineering degrees by 2009.

Training and Assessment


Spearheaded by our Learning and Assessment Unit, we continuously enhance our employees’
competencies and skills to improve overall productivity and performance. The unit’s activities in
2007 included among other things organizing leadership and technical competency development
programs, conducting benchmarking studies and coordinating internships at other mining
companies. The unit is also undertaking a feasibility study to implement an IT system that will
integrate assessment results, competency model, learning system, and talent management. In
2007, we spent Rp28 billion on employee education and training, an increase of 8% compared to
2006. This amount is 0.5% of Antam’s net profit and 4% of Antam’s employee cost. The average
training expense per employee was Rp9.8 million, an increase of 11% compared to 2006.

Total Consolidated Assets


In 2007, our total consolidated assets increased significantly, growing 65% to Rp12,038 billion
mainly due to increased current assets which rose mostly due to much higher cash receipts. Our
non-current assets did not contribute to the total assets growth as no significant new fixed asset
investments were made and increases in deferred exploration and development expenditure and
deferred tax assets were offset by lower net fixed assets due to depreciation.

Current Assets
Our current assets increased 143% to Rp8,048 billion as cash and cash equivalents grew 317%
to Rp4,744 billion, accounting for 59% of total current assets. The increase of current assets
amounted to Rp4,730 billion due largely to the Rp3,606 increase of cash, which was 76% of the
current assets growth. Trade receivables and inventories also contributed to the growth. At the end
of 2007, the US dollar/Rupiah exchange rate increased 4% to Rp9,419 such that Rp146 billion of
the increase in cash was the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations. In 2006, the movement of the
exchange rate had the opposite effect.

With this strong cash position, we are ready to make growth investments. We placed Rp4,384
billion of cash in time deposits and dual currency deposits, 93% of it in US dollars and 7% in
Rupiah at several local and international banks with a range of annual interest rate deposits from
4.40% - 6.25% US dollars which were generally higher than in 2006 until rates were cut at the end
of the year. The trend was the same for Rupiah rates which ranged from 7.50% - 10.25%.

Under our policy, our short term investments have to consist of a minimum 30% in time deposits,
maximum 15% in dual currency deposits, swaps and repurchase agreements, maximum 15% in
mutual funds, maximum 10% in corporate bonds and maximum 15% in SBI (Indonesian Treasury
Bills). We are conservative regarding our financial management and in the last a couple of years, we
have only invested in time deposits and dual currency deposits as we view these two instruments
as the safest instruments although they might not provide the highest returns. Dual currency
deposits are reported as time deposits although in practice we usually place about 15% of our

short term investments in the form of dual currency deposits. While we consider SBIs as very safe,
the instrument is only available in Rupiah while substantially all of our revenues and cash are US

Our inventories rose 39% to Rp1,319 billion due to the 64% increase in products inventory, which
are accounted for at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Ferronickel inventory rose 85%
to Rp457 billion inline with the higher cost of production of ferronickel. We also booked a 95%
increase in gold and silver inventories to Rp172 billion as we increased gold trading activities from
third parties, including from retail customers. Inventories of gold and silver were insured against
the risk of physical damage and theft under blanket policies.

Non-Current Assets
Our non-current assets slightly increased from Rp3,975 billion to Rp3,990 billion as increases in
deferred exploration, development and tax expenditures were not offset by decreased fixed assets
net of accumulated depreciation. We did not acquire significant new fixed assets as the significant
expenditures on the most recent expansion came to an end when commercial operations of FeNi
III began in the beginning of 2007. We increased our investments in shares of stock up 51% to
Rp55.8 billion consisting of Rp13.5 billion for PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina (Tayan Chemical
Grade Alumina project), Rp35.7 billion for PT Nusa Halmahera Minerals (gold mine operated
by Newcrest), Rp5.8 billion for PT Cibaliung Sumberdaya (gold mine under development by
Austindo) and Rp836 billion for the new investment in a 5% stake of PT Mega Citra Utama, a
mining exploration company. We consolidated the investment of a 60% stake in PT Borneo Edo
International, a mining license holder for bauxite exploration in West Kalimantan, which occurred
in September 2007. Our deferred exploration and development expenditure increased 30% to
Rp487 billion, deferred tax assets rose 86% to Rp309 billion and other non-current assets rose
227% to Rp85 billion.

Total Consolidated Liabilities


Our total consolidated liabilities increased 9% to Rp3,273 billion due to higher current liabilities
which rose 52% compared to 2006 to Rp1,799 billion or 55% of total consolidated liabilities. Due
partly to debt reduction, our non-current liabilities decreased 19% to Rp1,474 billion.

Current Liabilities
Our current liabilities increased to Rp1,799 billion mainly due to higher taxes payable, which
increased 134% to Rp988 billion and accrued expenses which rose 36% to Rp452 billion.
Taxes payable increased inline with higher taxable income. Accrued expenses increased due to

the significantly higher raw material costs and services fees. Accrued raw material purchases
amounted to Rp141 billion and we paid Rp131 billion for mining and transportation services fees.

Our total trade payables decreased 38% to Rp80 billion mainly due to the elimination of a payable
position for nickel ore bought from PT Inco Indonesia. Of total trade payables, 76% were owed in
Rupiah and 70% were due within 30 days.

The total current maturities of investment loans decreased 17% to Rp220 billion, consisting of 65
a reduction in the current maturity from PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) to Rp126 billion and a
reduction in the current maturity from PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk (Mandiri) to Rp94 billion.
On December 21st, 2006, we withdrew US$71 million from the BCA loan and US$50 million from
the Mandiri facility to help refinance the remainder of our outstanding USD bonds, issued in
2003. Both credit facilities have a repayment period of five years, starting from June 2007 until
December 2011. Each facility has an interest rate of SIBOR 3 months plus 1.5%. On February
2007, we entered an interest rate swap agreement with Barclay Capital for the Mandiri loan at a
fixed rate of 6.75% and with BCA for the BCA loan at fixed rate of 6.61%. The average interest
rate in 2007 was 6.83%.

and gold rose 15%.

With few capital expenditures, amounting to only Rp197 billion, we were very much cash flow
positive, as in 2006, and cash holdings grew as we completed our latest growth phase. Our free
cash flow in 2007 grew significantly to Rp4,639 billion. In 2005 we generated negative free cash
flows of Rp569 billion, as it had been since 2003, in line with expenditures made to more than
double ferronickel production capacity with the construction of FeNi III. With the significant 317%
build up in cash holdings to Rp4,744 billion, we are ready to pursue opportunities to enhance
shareholder value, such as making acquisitions, investing in expanding and upgrading operations,
paying dividends and further lowering debt.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities


In 2007, our net cash receipts from operations rose Rp3,990 billion, or 182% to Rp6,183 billion.
The increase is primarily due to the 116% increase in receipts from customers, which rose Rp5,191
billion to Rp11,229 billon. Our payments to suppliers increased Rp1,845 billion or 76% to Rp4,277
billion and payments to commissioners, directors and employees increased 48% to Rp793 billion.
The greater pace of increase for customer receipts compared to payments to suppliers and for
management and employees enhanced the rate of growth for net cash receipts.

Despite higher interest income and lower interest payments due to larger cash holdings and higher
US dollar interest rates, our net cash provided by operating activities did not increase at the same
pace of net cash receipts due to a significantly larger payment for tax. Our cash flow for interest
income rose 306% to Rp126 billion while interest payments, due to loan repayment, lowered 62%
to Rp78 billion. Our tax payments increased Rp1,095 billion or 191% to Rp1,669 billion, due to
tax paid on our much higher taxable income. Cash flows from operating activities rose 183% to
Rp4,834 billion.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities


Our cash flows used in investing activities increased 37% to Rp262 billion. The increase is
mainly due to higher acquisitions of property, plant and equipment as well as exploration and
development expenditure. In 2007, we spent Rp197 billion, an increase of 129% or Rp111 billion,
on acquisitions of property, plant and equipment, of which most were for maintenance at Pomalaa

ferronickel facilities and Pongkor gold mine. As well, we ramped up investment on exploration and
development 63% to Rp195 billion with the largest portion being spent on exploration drilling for
nickel at Sangaji and Pulau Obi, North Maluku. These increases were not offset by our dividend
income, related to our 17.5% stake in a gold company run by Newcrest Ltd called PT Nusa
Halmahera Minerals, which rose 2,114% to Rp155 billion.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities


In 2007 we made smaller, yet still significant, repayments of long term borrowings, which in total 67
decreased 74% to Rp462 billion. Our total long term debt decreased 35% to Rp700 billion. However,
due to a much larger dividend payment, our cash flows used in financing activities increased 16%
to Rp1,114 billion. In line with higher net income in 2006, our cash flows for payment of dividends
rose 117% to Rp621 billion.

Hedging Activities
Our hedging activities are conducted to protect a portion of our budgeted revenues, according

production of nickel, gold, and of monthly working capital.

We did not undertake any commodity hedging activities in 2007 in view of the high nickel and gold
prices during the year.

We conducted foreign currency hedging transactions to protect our working capital needs in 2007

In 2007, inline with increased production of ferronickel and nickel ore, as well as with higher
commodities prices, sales grew by 113% to a record Rp12,008 billion from Rp5,629 billion in
2006. Ferronickel production rose 28% and accounted for 48% of our sales. Higher demand of
nickel ore boosted exports by 63% and contributed 41% of our sales. As revenue from nickel
grew, the nickel segment contributed 89% of our total sales in 2007, compared with 84% in 2006.

Case for Antam and Shareholders Dear Shareholder Antam’s People Higher Profits Generating Higher Output for a Better Future Stake Joint Ventures

In 2007, our ferronickel production was 7% lower than our target of 20,000 tonnes due to a metal
leak that occurred June 16th 2007. Due to the leak, Antam shut down the FeNi III smelter for partial
repairs for 3 months and switched the smelter back on at the end of August 2007. To ensure a
safe and stable operation, Antam plans to operate the smelter at 32MW, less than the maximum
power load of 42MW. Leaks and set backs are unfortunate but are normal during the ramp up
period of a new smelter. Once the optimal operational parameters have been determined Antam
may slowly raise the power level and output, thus increasing output in the years ahead above the
17,000 tonne target of 2008.

In 2007, we consumed 1,310,207 wmt of saprolite nickel ore as feed for our ferronickel smelters, at
an average ratio of 77 wmt of ore to one tonne of nickel contained in ferronickel. We used 325,781
72 wmt of saprolite from our own mines at Pomalaa and Halmahera Island and 984,426 wmt from
PT Inco’s East Pomalaa deposit.

Ferronickel sales in 2007 amounted to 17,723 tonnes of nickel contained in ferronickel. Our
ferronickel is sold as either high carbon, or low carbon ferronickel. High carbon ferronickel is
generally used for making 200 series stainless steel, which contains less nickel and is a lower
quality product and less resistant to corrosion, although it can also be mixed to produce higher
quality 300 series. European customers took 52% of sales while Korean and Taiwanese customers
accounted for 28% and 14% of volumes respectively. Ferronickel sales were lower than production
as Antam experienced difficulties in securing shipping cargo space, due to high costs and
availability of marine transportation. We sell our ferronickel CIF (cost, insurance and freight). As
well, ferronickel sales were lower due to softening demand in Europe, due to inventory destocking
activities undertaken by stainless steel producers, in their attempts to lower nickel prices which
reached an all time high in May 2007. European mills only began to enter the market to buy nickel
towards the end of 2007.

The price we charge for our ferronickel is based on the international London Metal Exchange daily
spot price. The normal duration of a shipment’s journey to Europe is about a month. For Asian
customers, the shipment period is shorter, with cargo arriving after 7 to 10 days. To support and
assist ferronickel to Europe, we use an agent, Avarus AG. The agent assists, among other things,
in arranging delivery from ports to buyers and arranging the necessary shipping documentation. If you could tell Antam’s

Fuel
Inline with higher nickel contained ferronickel production, as well as due to higher international
fuel prices, our fuel cost increased 23% to Rp636 billion and contributed 12% to our cost of
production. Around 98% of our fuel consumption was attributed to the ferronickel operation at
Pomalaa. In 2007, the cost of electricity to generate power for the ferronickel operation amounted
to US 11 cents per kilowatt hour (KWH), an increase of 22% compared to the electricity cost in
2006 of US 9 cents per KWH. Higher fuel costs were also due to higher consumption of coal which
increased 24%. Coal is burned under the rotary kiln to pre-heat the treated ore (calcine) before it
is introduced to the smelter.

In order to produce 1 tonne of nickel in ferronickel, we will normally require about 9,000 litres
of fuel.

Since 2005 we have been switching our main source of diesel fuel from the higher priced Industrial
Diesel Oil (IDO) to the lower priced Marine Fuel Oil (MFO). In 2007, Antam used around 20,000
litres of IDO and around 136,000 litres of MFO. IDO was less than 13% of our overall diesel fuel
consumption in 2007. The main strategy to lower our production costs is to convert to a less
expensive fuel such as coal, hydro or natural gas.

due to the strong demand for nickel. As such on certain occassions we also had to give the toll
smelter a share of the profit from the sale of the ferronickel.

Gross Profit
Despite the higher costs of sales, our gross profit increased 163% to Rp7,213 billion as the growth
of our sales outpaced the increase in cost of sales. Our gross margin widened 23% to 60% in 2007
from 49% in 2006.

Operating Expenses and Profit


Our operating expenses rose 24% to Rp417 billion, and accounted for 8% of our total costs (cost
of sales plus operating expenses). The increase is mainly due to the 18% increase in general and
administrative expenses to Rp348 billion. The largest component of general and administrative
expenses was salaries which increased 23% to Rp209 billion and accounted for 60% of the total
general and administrative expenses.

Our operating profit increased 183% to Rp6,796 billion, which resulted in a significant jump of
operating margin to 57% in 2007 from 43% in 2006.

Other Income and Net Income


In 2007, Antam booked other income of Rp506 billion compared to other expenses of Rp184
billion in 2006 due to higher interest income, higher dividend income, and lower interest expenses.
Antam generated interest income of Rp126 billion, a 301% increase over 2006, as our cash position
increased 317% to Rp4,744 billion. Our dividend income increased 117% to Rp140 billion due to
increased profits of PT Nusa Halmahera Minerals (NHM), our gold joint venture with Newcrest Ltd.
Due to a larger US dollar cash position, the repayment of our US dollar bonds, and a weaker Rupiah,
we booked a foreign exchange gain of Rp181 billion as opposed to Rp58 billion loss in 2006.

Antam received settlements for claims made for compensation due to the late delivery of FeNi III
from Mitsui & Co., Ltd and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd for Rp 78 billion. Antam also received
a Rp8 billion settlement for insurance claims related to the 2005 breakdown of FeNi II.

In 2007, Antam generated net income of Rp5,132 billion (US$562 million), a significant 230% jump
over our net income in 2006. As a result, our net profit margin also widened significantly to 43%
in 2007 from 28% in 2006.

Cash Cost and Cost Reduction Program


The cash costs of production increased for all of our products due to higher materials, labor and
transportation costs, similar to other players in the industry. Despite increases in our cash costs,
Antam remained a competitive low cost producer - with the exception of ferronickel. 77

Our ferronickel cash cost increased 26% to US$5.55 per pound largely due to the higher price
of nickel ore feed sourced from PT Inco and higher fuel prices. The largest component of
ferronickel cash cost was materials with a 58% contribution, followed by depreciation with a
21% contribution. The largest component of the materials cost was fuel and PT Inco’s ore, each
contributing 43%. The third largest component of the ferronickel materials cost was consumables
with an 8% contribution.

Production (kt Ni)
Both our limonite and bauxite cash costs increased 30% to US$11.26 per wmt and US$13.44 per
wmt respectively mainly due to lower production in 2007 which resulted in higher cost per unit as
well as due to higher ore mining costs. Our saprolite cash cost increased slightly to US$20.32 per
wmt. Our gold cash cost, which is not offset with any “silver credits” increased 35% to US$383.10
per ounce due to higher fuel prices. Our silver is produced as a byproduct of the gold production
process and sold to silversmiths in Indonesia.

As a first step in lowering our ferronickel cash cost, in 2007 Antam signed a power purchase
agreement with PT Tamboli Energy (Tamboli) for the supply of 15MW peak load capacity of
electricity to our Pomalaa ferronickel facilities (representing about 15% of the power required
to produce ferronickel at full capacity) from Tamboli’s run-of-river hydropower plant. Following
the commencement of the hydropower purchase in 2009, it is expected we could lower the
ferronickel power cost by up to 8-10% which will result in a savings of up to 3-4% of our
ferronickel cash cost.

However, instead of volume growth, 2008 will be about preparing for and investing in the next
phase of growth. After accumulating a large cash position by the end of 2007, which grew 317%
to Rp4,744 billion (over US$521 million), thanks in part to the extra nickel volumes provided by FeNi
III, Antam is ready to invest for a better future. We have huge reserves of nickel and bauxite, many
thousands of hectares of licensed exploration and excavation properties throughout Indonesia
and with well planned and well executed organic and acquisitive investments and projects we will
create significant value from our assets in the years to come.

80 Our Future Targets: Bigger and Better, Diversified and Sustainable


We are often asked about specific targets we are aiming for in the next one, three or five years.
In general, we can say in our pursuit of creating maximum shareholder value, we are constantly
striving to become bigger, better, more diversified and sustainable. Please see the Letter from
Board of Directors and the Detailed Description sections for more discussion on our strategy. We
feel it is slightly reckless to give anything more than our volume targets beyond the year ahead.
We make forecasts for commodities and fuel prices. Therefore, while we forecast expected
revenues, profits and margins for the year ahead, we do not have specific targets. We take
this approach as the mining business is a complicated one, with many moving and sometimes
uncontrollable parts.

While we do not have a specific leveraging target, we will always seek to minimize our debt
obligations. We do not have specific return on equity target, but we will not invest if the ROE
is lower than 15% or lower than our Weighted Average Cost of Capital. While we do not have
a specific target, we will always endeavor to achieve the lowest WACC possible, so as to lower
our hurdle rate. We do not have a specific target as regards our market capitalization but we
will always attempt to inform the market accurately and in a timely manner so that our valuation
reflects our true value as accurately as possible.

Organic Growth Projects – Extracting Maximum Value from Our Existing Reserves
It is our organic projects that will create significant value in the next three to five years. Although
not valued by most of our shareholders as we did not have specific capital expenditure plans by
the end of 2007, we believe the organic development of our vast reserves with various projects
has tremendous potential and real progress was made in 2007 towards making these projects
become a reality.

ALUMINA – Maximizing Value from our Bauxite Reserves


Chemical Grade Alumina
PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina (Antam: 49%), Tayan, West Kalimantan
PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina (“ICA”) is a joint venture company established in March 2007
to study the feasibility of building a chemical grade alumina plant at Tayan, West Kalimantan.
Chemical grade alumina is about 10% of the overall alumina market and is used for many industrial
and commercial purposes such as toothpaste, ceramics and high-density disks. The formation of
the joint venture company follows the signing of a joint venture agreement in March 2006. The
81
JVA followed many years of negotiations, which were made more difficult due to the tremendous
political and economic challenges Indonesia went through following the economic crisis and
downfall of Suharto in 1998. Antam’s share in this project is 49% with an option to increase its
ownership to 51% in the future while the other three partners own the remaining 51%, and consist
of Showa Denko KK (SDK) of Japan 30%, Straits Trading Amalgamated Resources Private Limited
of Singapore (STAR) 15% and Marubeni Corporation of Japan 6%.

During 2007, ICA continued to negotiate with sponsors and related parties in terms of shareholder
structure and financing. ICA also worked to update a bankable feasibility study (BFS) conducted
by Mizuho in 2003 and to finalize the selection of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction
(EPC) contractor, including scope of work, project costs and cost distribution. The original BFS
estimated annual output of 300,000 tonnes of chemical grade alumina, a project cost of around
$220-$250 million and a project internal rate of return of over 15%. Due to higher costs since 2003,
the estimated project cost will escalate; although it is expected ICA can still make a satisfactory
return given that alumina prices have also risen. The Japan Bank for International Cooperation
(JBIC) is expected to finance the project. Finalizing the loan agreement process will heavily depend
on finalizing the EPC selection, of which Kawasaki was a front-runner.

Field work in 2007 and early 2008 included completion of the road access from the jetty to the
alumina plant site, infrastructure land clearance and construction of the temporary office and
base camp. Upcoming work includes preparation of the land, jetty, administration building and
washing plant, road access opening, relocation and mine land clearance. We hope ICA will begin
production in late 2010 or early 2011.

Smelter Grade Alumina


Antam has for many years studied the idea of using a portion of its bauxite to develop a smelter
grade, or metallurgical grade, alumina facility. SGA is used to make aluminum and is much more
of a commodity than CGA. Whereas SGA is easier to market, CGA has higher margins and lower
capital costs. However, CGA is a niche market requiring specialized knowledge. Given Antam had
good partners for CGA and the exorbitant scale and costs once thought necessary to develop
SGA, we always focused on developing our bauxite reserves by producing CGA.

SGA Bintan Project, Bintan Island with Chinese Companies
With the higher prices and strong demand, in 2006, it began to look feasible to also build an
SGA facility. We considered building on Bintan Island with domestic license holders and Chinese
offtakers and partners, such as Chalco and Xinfa. The plan to build on Bintan fell through when we
felt our partners might be more interested in exporting the bauxite than in building an SGA facility
in Indonesia. Antam’s Kijang bauxite mine is located on Bintan Island and was meant to have been
82 shut down many years ago. The high demand from China for even the low quality bauxite meant
Antam could delay shutting down the facility. However, this ore, and the ore of surrounding license
holders was deemed to not be feasible for an SGA facility.

SGA Mempawah Project, West Kalimantan with Hangzhou Jinjiang Group of China
As Antam did not continue the plan with Xinfa, the Smelter Grade Alumina development has moved
to West Kalimantan. At Mempawah, we began an SGA project with a new partner, Hangzhou
Jinjiang Group, China. Antam aims for about 55% ownership of the project. The initial estimated
cost before feasibility study is around US$800 million – US$1 billion and the plant may process one
million tonnes of SGA per year. Antam expects the Bankable Feasibility Study will be completed
in 2008.

SGA Munggu Pasir Project, West Kalimantan with UC Rusal of Russia


In September of 2007 we signed a Heads of Agreement with UC Rusal, Russia’s largest aluminum
company, to explore possibilities to develop bauxite deposits and build a SGA processing plant
in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Following the outcome of a feasibility study, the proposed project
may process 3.6 million wet metric tons (wmt) of washed bauxite per year into 1.2 million tonnes of
SGA per year. The initial estimated project cost may be about US$1.2– US$1.5 billion and Antam
is likely to take a 49% stake in this project with UC Rusal owning the remaining 51%. Feasibility
studies will be conducted to determine the investment cost, location, technology, environment and
other important aspects prior to the initial phase of development.

NICKEL – Maximizing Value from our Nickel Reserves


Pearl Nickel Project, Buli, Halmahera, North Maluku, with BHP Billiton
Although the next phase of organic growth will be from alumina, additional nickel output is still
very much apart of Antam’s future. The Pearl project is the name given to the investigation being
conducted by Antam and BHP Billiton to jointly develop Antam’s extensive nickel laterite resources
at Buli. The alliance, formalized by a Heads of Agreement signed in February 2007, will investigate
the development of pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processing routes for the Buli deposit
on Halmahera Island and other ore bodies.

This move is in line with our strategy to move into higher technology and downstream metals
processing activities. This strategic alliance with BHP Billiton is also expected to mitigate the
cost and risk of developing mineral deposits. In 2007 we moved towards the formation of a joint
venture company for the alliance. Antam and BHP Billiton expect the joint venture agreement will
be completed in 2008.

IRON, NCPI – Maximizing Value from Low Grade Ore with a Blast Furnace
In 2006 we began to get excited about the prospect of extracting iron from our low grade nickel
reserves at Obi Island, which has a high iron content, and began a joint investigation with an
Eastern European firm. The project, called the Obi Island Iron Cap project, was subsequently
deemed unfeasible. With prices rising higher and with the advent of Chinese production of nickel
contained in pig iron (NCPI), we shifted our development focus. In 2007, demand from China for
low grade nickel ore surged as pig iron producers began to use their blast furnaces to make NCPI
rather than just pig iron. NCPI contains about 3-5% nickel, while ferronickel is about 20% nickel.
Although inexpensive and easy to build or convert and not requiring a power plant, the marginal 83
cost of production was still high due the largest cost component, that of ore transportation. For
this reason we began to look for ways to build our own blast furnace next to our mine site at Obi
and improve the efficiency by effectively eliminating the ore transportation costs.

Obi NCPI Project, Obi Island, North Maluku with Tsingshan


In October 2007, we signed an agreement with Tsingshan Holding Group Co. Ltd of China to
conduct a feasibility study of jointly developing an integrated stainless steel facility at Antam’s
laterite ore concession at Obi Island, North Maluku, Indonesia. The study will consider a project
which consists of a power plant, an NCPI (or ferronickel) plant and a stainless steel plant and will
determine the capacity and the investment amount of the facility. Antam and Tsingshan will form
a consortium to conduct the feasibility study, to apply for mining permits and prepare the ancillary
agreements. The cost of the feasibility study and the other preparatory work will not exceed US$2
million. Under the agreement, a joint venture company will only be incorporated upon satisfactory
result of the feasibility study, which will have to be completed by August 2008.

Acquisitive Growth Projects – Diversifying Our Assets and Replenishing Gold


With the large cash position that we accumulated at the end of 2007 and with more substantial
free cash expected, we will make acquisitions to grow and diversify. In 2007 we appointed
Macquarie to assist us, among other things, in determining the best acquisitions. Our acquisition
targets were focused on gold, in view of the diminishing reserves of our Pongkor gold mine but
also on diversifying away from nickel, which following the expansion accounted for 89% of
revenues in 2007.

Takeover Attempt of Herald Resources Ltd – Owner of Lead/Zinc in Sumatra
At the end of December 2007, we decided we would make a counter bid to takeover an ASX-
listed company called Herald Resources Ltd, from Australia, whose biggest asset was its 80%
ownership of PT Dairi Prima Mineral, a lead/zinc project in Indonesia. Herald has for many years
been our partner in PT Dairi Prima Mineral (note: the project is explained in more detail in the
Minority Stake JV section of this report), of which we had 20%. However, we decided we could

Capital Expenditure Plans
Antam’s capital expenditures in 2007 were minimal and mostly for routine expenditures. Antam
spent Rp197 billion for the nickel division and Rp95 billion was spent on the gold division. Antam
had budgeted Rp931 billion for capital expenditures in 2007, but many of the development
expenditures were not realized or postponed.

In 2008, Antam has budgeted Rp2.5 trillion, or US$280 million for capital expenditures. Of that
amount, Rp423 billion will be for routine expenditures, Rp1.7 trillion for development projects,
Rp100 billion for deferred expenditures and Rp318.5 billion for strategic alliances. The actual
amount spent will vary depending upon the progress of the development projects.

If Antam’s joint takeover bid of Herald is successful, Antam will spend much more than the $30
million allocated for acquistions. Antam and its partner have made an offer for Herald via a joint
venture called Tango Mining (Antam 40%) which values the company at just over US$500 million.

strategy of building and adding value to our reserves to sustain profitable growth.

However, we are the first to admit that an MOU is only a small step in project development, and
there is still much to do to get our projects realized and create the future value we are encouraging
our shareholders to focus on. Constant challenges we must deal with for all of our projects include
remote locations, poor infrastructure, higher costs, lack of, or too expensive contractors and
service providers, and regulatory uncertainty in the form of licensing issues.

Minerals are often in areas that are very difficult to gain access to, which can cause problems. Limited
infrastructure means escalation of project costs as well as difficulty in logistics distribution.

Escalation of material prices have pushed project costs to soar beyond initial expectations. For
example, in 2003, a bankable feasibility study for the Tayan project had the project cost at US$220
million. Following hikes in material prices inline with increased commodity and oil prices, the project
cost has increased by around 100%. However, we expect that higher alumina prices will maintain a
healthy return on investment.

As well, significant industrial growth in the Middle East, China and India has pushed demand for
contractors to spike and many are short of resources. Hence, there is difficulty in finding credible
and experienced contractors.

In Indonesia, project delays are sometimes attributable to the issue of regulatory uncertainty and
specifically getting the necessary licenses. Although all of our projects do not have any issues
with current required licenses, some of them might be affected by the bureaucracy and politics of
gaining other licenses or license renewal. This could mean expensive delays to projects.

Despite all of these challenges we remain confident about our future. We are committed in
expediting the pace of work on various projects, as well as addressing the outstanding issues and
ensure on time completion of the projects.

With this section we hope to introduce and allow you to hear from some of the
people responsible for our development projects.

Dolok Silaban
President Director, PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina, Antam’s joint venture in the
Tayan project
“Difficulty in securing contractors. This is a major cause for the delay. The spike in energy prices
made the oil and gas industry very attractive and lured many investors to the industry. Contractors
were stretched and other industries became somewhat of a second priority for them.”

Arifianto Sobana Tiammar


Chief of Project Manager - Smelter Grade Alumina and Iron
“The lack of infrastructure and difficulty in logistics put upward pressure on the projects cost.
In addition, production and marketing these new products for us also pose challenges. Project
delay is also caused by the uncertainties on issues related to mining licenses.”

Tato Miraza
Project Group Leader - Nickel and Energy Development Project
“The increase of energy costs impacts largely on the capital expenditures. The requirement of
using high technology in nickel processing also adds some time in selecting the right partner.
The larger size of the production capacity will deliver economies of scale. However, we need
more energy, time and the appropriate partner to realize the plans. Remote location also creates
difficulties in bringing in facilities and human resources.”

PT Nusa Halmahera Minerals (Antam: 17.5%)


PT Nusa Halmahera Minerals (“NHM”) is a joint venture company owned 82.5% by ASX-listed
Newcrest Mining Limited and 17.5% by Antam located in the Gosowong area of Halmahera, North
Maluku. We do not have an option to increase our share ownership at NHM. NHM commenced
production at Kencana underground mine, located 1 km south from the Gosowong open pit mine,
in March 2006. In 2007, NHM produced 373,673 ounces of gold as a result of increased production
at Kencana although in the fourth quarter, a reduction in processed ore resulted in lower gold
production. Cash costs for the six months to 31 December 2007 reached US$220 per ounce with a
total production cost of US$320 per ounce.

For development and exploration activities, NHM conducted the Gosowong Extension Project,
including underground access, plant modifications and construction of additional site infrastructure,
which potentially will add significant value and increase its production life by around five years.
Feasibility work will be conducted on the US$80 million project during 2008 with implementation

PT Galuh Cempaka (Antam: 20%)
PT Galuh Cempaka (“Galuh Cempaka”) operates the Cempaka alluvial diamond mine located in
South Kalimantan. Our ownership of 20% free carried shares includes an option to increase by 10%.
On June 2007, BDI Mining Corp, the former majority shareholder, with 80% interest, was acquired at
a net cost of US$80 million by Gem Diamonds Limited, a diamond producer listed on the main board
of the London Stock Exchange.

The alluvial deposits at the Cempaka Mine consist of the Danau Seran and Cempaka paleochannels.
The former has been mined since the commencement of operations in 2004 and is almost depleted.
It is significantly smaller but of a higher grade than the Cempaka channel. Minor gold and platinum
is present in the diamondiferous gravels in both channels.

During the year of 2007, Galuh Cempaka produced approximately 23,034 carats of diamonds and
16.8 kg of gold and platinum concentrates. Galuh Cempaka sold approximately 10,410 carats of
diamonds valued at US$2.27 million or US$218 per carat in the first half 2007, prior to the BDI
Mining acquisition by Gem Diamonds. In January 2008, 15,000 carats were sold through a tender
with an average price of US$331.00 per carat. We did not plan to exercise the option and continue
to observe PT Galuh Cempaka’s production and development.

PT Cibaliung Sumberdaya (Antam: 10.25%)


The Cibaliung project located at Banten is operated by PT Cibaliung Sumberdaya (“CSD”), a joint
venture company between Antam (10.25% interest with no option to increase) and Austindo Resources
Corporation NL, a public company listed on the ASX (89.75% interest). In 2007, CSD resumed decline
development with total development now in excess of 550 meters. CSD also conducted full mobilization
of the refurbishment work and moving the gold processing plant to the site. The first gold pour is now
expected within the second quarter of 2008. CSD indicated costs may increase up to US$21.6 million
excluding the impact of higher fuel prices. CSD now is reviewing funding alternatives to complete the
development of the Cibaliung Gold Project. CSD also conducted limited exploration activities.

Currently we are evaluating ownership at CSD and are studying the best alternatives on the additional
funding needs required by CSD during 2006-2008.

PT Dairi Prima Mineral (Antam: 20%)


The Dairi Project is held by PT Dairi Prima Mineral (“DPM”) under a 7th generation Contract of Work
between DPM and the Government of Indonesia. DPM is a joint venture operating company owned
80% by Herald (through Gain & Win Pte. Ltd.) and 20% by Antam.

In developing the Dairi Project, Herald has, in conjunction with Antam, made significant progress by
completing a positive definitive feasibility study, securing social and environmental and construction
approvals and was at the end of 2007 awaiting a forestry use permit before proceeding with the full
development of the Anjing Hitam deposit.

Herald has stated it has secured the major approvals required to develop and exploit the Anjing Hitam
deposit apart from the forestry use permit. DPM is currently awaiting approval from the Ministry of
Forestry regarding this permit. Herald has stated the Minister of Forestry already has the authority
to grant the permit, but notwithstanding this, has been instructed that a Presidential Regulation is
required to be obtained before the approval will be granted.

Herald has indicated that upon receipt of the forestry permit, should it be granted and subject to
any further conditions that may be required to be met, it will complete final land acquisitions and
progress the construction of mining and other facilities. This is expected to take approximately 18 to
21 months from receipt of the permit.

As a partner in DPM since its inception, we identified a compelling opportunity to take a majority

Due primarily to Zhongjin’s considerable operational expertise in lead/zinc mining and our
considerable experience operating in Indonesia as a major mining company, Antam is well placed
to draw on significant synergies with Zhongjin by jointly developing the Dairi Project. Antam and
Zhongjin established a joint venture called Tango Mining Pte Ltd for the specific purpose of carrying
out the cash offer transaction. This transaction will give Antam a combined majority stake in the Dairi
Project (through our investment in Tango combined with our current 20% direct interest).

PT Weda Bay Nickel (Antam: 10%)


PT Weda Bay Nickel is a nickel joint venture company between Antam (10% free carried interest) and
Weda Bay Minerals Inc. (90% interest), a onetime Toronto Stock Exchange listed company and since
2006, a subsidiary of Eramet S.A. The project is located in Central Halmahera of North Maluku. We
have a right to increase our interest up to 15% from additional stocks issued by PT Weda Bay Nickel
after completion of a bankable feasibility study at a price of development costs incurred with respect
to the operations up to date on which the production decision is made. Antam also has an option to
increase ownership between 5-15% after the 14th year of production.

In 2007, the joint venture completed several important development stages. The technical parameters
were validated by pilot tests carried out on the hydrometallurgical process developed by Eramet at
its research centre in Trappes on ore from Weda Bay. The resource level was confirmed through
exploration at more than 4 million tonnes with a higher degree of knowledge. A real-scale mining test
was carried out.The final decision to proceed with the project for 60,000 tones of nickel capacity will
be made in 2009. We had not yet considered exercising our option as feasibility studies still continue,
although we were encouraged and we expect positive results in 2008.

Antam continued to focus on nickel, gold and bauxite exploration in 2007. Exploration expenditure
reported by Geomin, excluding joint ventures increased 32% to Rp125 billion. Antam spent
Rp91 billion on nickel exploration, Rp26 billion on gold and Rp8 billion on bauxite. Geological
and drilling activities significantly contributed to the expenditure. Antam has increased the 2008
exploration budget 7% to Rp134 billion, inline with higher revenues in 2007 and attempts to
acquire new prospect areas permits and licenses. Antam also considered other interesting
mineral prospects to support current operations and projects.

The estimations shown in the tables on page 96 describe the amount of resources and reserves
fully owned by Antam. The tables do not include mineral resources and reserves jointly held
with partners.

Nickel
Generally, all of Antam’s lateritic nickel resource estimates, both saprolite nickel (Ni ≥ 1.8% and Fe
< 25%) and limonite nickel (Ni ≥ 1.2% and Fe ≥ 25%) increased in 2007, mostly due to accelerated
and detailed exploration activities at several prospects, particularly at Buli and Obi, to support
nickel development projects. However, our nickel reserves estimates decreased mostly due to
strong production in 2007. Antam maintained the same cut off grade as used in 2006 to estimate
the ore reserves and mineral resources.

Nickel exploration activities were focused in Southeast Sulawesi and Halmahera, including Buli
(and surrounding areas) and Obi island which focused on supporting current nickel operations and
for nickel development projects.
97
Antam also continued to conduct nickel exploration at Morowali Regency of Central Sulawesi,
particularly at Tangofa, Buleleng, Witaponda I, Witaponda II, Witaponda III, Bungku Tengah and
Bungku Barat. In 2007, Antam did not upgrade nor estimate mineral prospects in these areas as
more detailed exploration activities were required.

As at December 31, 2007, Antam’s total proved and probable reserves estimation for saprolite
ore decreased 14% to 55.10 million wmt. For limonite reserves, the estimation slightly decreased
3% to 50.15 million wmt. Antam’s total measured and indicated resources for nickel saprolite ore
increased 8% to 125.80 million wmt while limonite nickel resources increased 23% to 164.05
million wmt.

Details of some of the changes to Antam’s nickel reserves and resources estimations based on
location are at page 98.

Southeast Sulawesi
In 2007, Antam conducted exploration activities at Southeast Sulawesi, particularly at the Pomalaa
nickel mine, Bahubulu Islands, Tapunopaka and Mandiodo. Antam also focused on exploration of
new discoveries in several prospects such as Pandua, Baunaga and Lalindu.

We continued to work on mine design at Tapunopaka as mining activities will be carried out soon.
We mobilized heavy equipment and infrastructure preparation including road and stockyard. As
well, Antam was in the process of obtaining subsequent permits and making other arrangements
following the approval of the exploitation license.

Notes to Reserves and


Resources Estimations
Pursuant to the JORC Code, a ’mineral resource’ is a concentration or occurrence of material of intrinsic economic
interest in or on the earth’s crust in such form and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral resource
are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge. The term mineral resource
covers mineralization which has been identified and estimated through exploration and sampling and within which
ore reserves may be defined by the consideration and application of technical, economic, legal, environmental,
social and governmental favors.

An ’indicated mineral resource’ is that part of a mineral resource for which tonnages, densities, shape, physical
characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a reasonable level of confidence. The estimate
is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations
such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are too widely or inappropriately spaced to confirm geological
and/or grade continuity but are spaced closely enough for continuity to be assumed. An indicated mineral resource indicates a lower level of
confidence than that applying to a measured mineral resource.

A ’measured mineral resource’ is that part of a mineral resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and
mineral content can be estimated with a high level of confidence. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and
testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenchers, pits, workings and drill holes. The
locations are spaced closely enough to confirm geological and/or grade continuity.

An ’ore reserve’ is the economically mineable part of measured or indicated mineral resource. Ore reserves are those portions of mineral
resources which, after the application of all mining factors, result in an estimated tonnage and grade which, in the opinion of the persons
making the estimates, can be the basis of a viable project after taking account of all relevant metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal,
environmental, social and governmental factors. The estimate includes diluting materials and allowances for losses which may occur when
the material is mined. Appropriate assessments, which may include feasibility studies, have been carried out, and include consideration of and
modification by realistically assumed mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.
102
These assessments demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction could reasonably be justified. Ore reserves are subdivided in order of
increasing confidence into probable ore reserves and proved ore reserves.

A ‘proved ore reserve’ is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource. The estimate includes diluting materials and
allowances for losses which may occur when the material is mined. Approximate assessment, which may include feasibility studies, have
been carried out, and include consideration of and modification by realistically assumed mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing,
legal, environmental, social and governmental factors. These assessments demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction could
reasonably be justified.

A ’probable ore reserve’ is the economically mineable part of an indicated, and in some circumstances measured mineral resource. The estimate
includes diluting materials and allowances for losses which may occur when the material is mined. Appropriate assessments, which may include
feasibility studies, have been carried out, and include consideration of and modification by realistically assumed mining, metallurgical, economic,
marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors. These assessments demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction could
reasonably be justified. A probable ore reserve indicates a lower level of confidence than a proved ore reserve.

The data on the reserves and resources included in this Annual Report is based on and accurately reflects information that has been compiled
by Mr. Trenggono Sutioso. Mr. Sutioso is a permanent employee of the Company a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy and has the appropriate experience to be considered a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code. However, the reserves
and resources information contained in this Annual Report has not been independently verified and any independent verification may produce
variation, which may be material. Unless otherwise indicated, these reserves and resources data do not include that of the Company’s joint
venture. This information is a summary of the Company’s reserves and resources as at December 31, 2007, for simplification measured and
indicated resources have been combined.

How We Make Our Money


We make our money by profitably exploring, discovering, excavating, processing and refining
mineral deposits and then selling them around the world and have been doing so for four decades
If you could tell Antam’s
management one thing,
since our inception in 1968.
what would that be?
As collected from Antam’s 2008
Investor Perception Survey
Our success could be attributed to our vast reserves and resources, our proven ability to locate
and develop those deposits, our ability to construct and operate sustainable processing facilities,
our ability to develop long-term relationships with world class customers, our commitment to
Good Corporate Governance (GCG) and our prudent financial management. Antam’s

on this core business, we may consider entering other mining businesses if we are presented with and all the revenue
very attractive opportunities in such segments. projections of
Antam.
We create and maintain sustainable growth and operations through various means. To safeguard
and replenish our reserves we invest risk capital annually of about 3-5% of our previous year
export revenues. As exploration is a risky undertaking, we also form strategic alliances with leading
global mining companies to mitigate this risk. By so doing we will also obtain new technology and
increase our sources of financing alternatives.

We continue to move further downstream into processing activities to add value. We will also
104 expand our processing capacity in order to maximize output, increase cash generation and lower
unit cost through economies of scale. In order to further control our cost, we will continue to find
new sources of energy that are cheaper than our current diesel-based energy. Meanwhile, we will
maintain a diversified customer base to avoid any dependence on a single market.

In view of our strong balance sheet and cash rich position we will undertake acquisitions to speed
up our growth. We appointed Macquarie in 2007 to help us conduct due diligence work on several
gold acquisition opportunities in Indonesia.

We are committed to conducting the above undertakings in environmentally and socially responsible
manners. By adhering to international standards of environmental management and by treating our
work force and the surrounding communities respectfully, we will minimize business interruptions
and ensure safe and sustainable operations.

Maintaining a robust financial foundation through a strong balance sheet and healthy liquidity has
always been a top priority. By generating as much cash as possible we ensure sufficient funds to
finance growth, pay dividends and repay debts. Strong cash, sound capital structure and easy
access to capital will maintain our financial flexibility and provide us with protection in the event of
falling commodities prices and other external pressures.

by our Precious Metals Refinery SBU to produce pure gold and silver bars and coins. Silver is
produced as a by product and as such, its production cost is included in the production cost of
gold. The gold and silver bars and coins are then sold to domestic and foreign buyers, mostly
jewelry makers. The purity of our gold and silver is internationally accredited by the London
Bullion Market Assocation (LBMA).

Gold ore is mined at Pongkor, West Java, an underground gold mine that was discovered by
Antam’s Geomin geology division and opened in 1993. Pongkor has a nameplate capacity of 5
tonnes, or 5,000 kg (161,000t.oz), of gold per year. In the last a couple of years, however, we have
targeted about 3,000 kg (96,600t.oz) of gold and 22,000kg of silver per year, from ore production
of about 400,000 wmt ore per year due to softer than expected mine tunnel walls and lower than
expected grades. Antam has about 6 - 7 years of gold and silver production left from Pongkor’s
estimated 3.03 million wmt of ore reserves with 743,000 contained ounces of gold and 8.2 million
contained ounces of silver.

Logam Mulia, Indonesia’s only precious metal refinery, has a capacity of 75 tons of gold per year
and 275 tons of silver per year. Only about 30% of the capacity is utilized due to the declining
supply from third party miners in view of dwindling gold investment in Indonesia. Historically more
than half of Logam Mulia’s income was derived from refining service for third parties. Our planned 107
gold mine acquisition, if realized, is expected to boost its capacity utilization.

SBU Other Minerals


Antam’s other minerals SBU produces bauxite and iron sands.

We are Indonesia’s longest running producer of bauxite, the raw material for production of alumina.
Our bauxite ore is mined from open pits at Kijang, Riau, and is exported to alumina producers in
Japan and China. We export about 1 - 1.5 million tonnes of bauxite per year.

Kijang mine had reached the end of its reserve life. However, exports continued from Kijang, as
Antam’s customers in China were willing to take delivery of the lower quality bauxite which was
previously considered not fit for sale.

Our largest bauxite reserves are located at Tayan, West Kalimantan. In line with our strategy to move
downstream, we will not export the ore but will develop CGA and SGA plants with international
partners. We have around 82 million tons of bauxite reserves and resources, (excluding reserves
and resources owned by PT Borneo Edo Indonesia and PT Mega Citra Utama). At current extraction
rate, these reserves and resources will last for several decades.

The iron sands business has not been an important money earner for us and in 2005 it was turned
over to our subsidiary, PT Antam Resourcindo.

Since 2004, we began to establish relationships with customers from Eastern Europe as many
nickel smelters in Eastern Europe that were previously shutdown were being revived due to the
high nickel prices. Antam further diversified its customer base by entering business relationships
with companies in India and China

Our new Chinese customers purchase our lower grade saprolites to produce nickel contained
in pig iron (NCPI) which is then sold to Chinese producers of low grade stainless steel. Although
China has been a major source of demand growth for nickel in the past a couple of years, we
will not over expose ourselves to China and will maintain our diversified customer base around
the world.

Most of our sales agreements are based on volumes for one to three years and prices are
determined by the international spot price. We also have two long term offtake agreements of
11 and 10 years from commercial operations of FeNi III, amounting to a combined annual total of
14,000 tonnes of nickel in ferronickel, with TKN of Germany and Posco of Korea.

Our Country and Government


The regulatory environment for the mining business has becoming more complex as the country
is undergoing a decentralization drive that commenced in the post-Soeharto era. There has been
much confusion and excessive red tape due to overlapping authorities between the central and
regional governments.

The draft mining law, which is currently being debated in parliament, is expected to provide some
clarity on this issue once it is finally passed. Among the most salient features of this law would be
the likely ban of ore exports to be implemented in stages within a transition period following the
passing of the revised law. This will not impact us as we have been planning to stop exporting raw
materials and moving toward downstream processing activities even if there were no such bans.
We believe we will be the beneficiary of the law as the domestic companies who currently only sell
ores will cease to become competitors and would instead become our suppliers of ores. However,
it remains to be seen how effective the law enforcement will be.

Our Industry
The nickel price reached around US$24.00 per pound in mid-2007 in view of strong demand from
China, the stainless steel industry in general, production shortages and dwindling inventories.
Nickel prices then dropped sharply in the second half of 2007 as stainless steel producers
conducted de-stocking programs and stopped producing additional stainless steel partly to avoid
having to buy nickel at very high prices. This nickel price correction was beneficial to nickel’s long
term fundamentals as it prevented significant substitution from nickel, a shift that would be hard to
reverse. The average international spot nickel price settled at US$16.90 per pound in 2007, still a
historical high. As de-stocking programs were likely to begin coming to an end by the end of fourth
quarter 2007 or beginning of 2008, which would push down international inventories tracked by
the London Metals Exchange, while nickel supply shortages were expected to continue in the near
future, mining analysts expect the nickel price to slightly recover in the early to middle part of 2008
110
although the average nickel price in 2008 would be lower at around US$12.50 – 15.00 per pound.
Analysts expect long term nickel prices of around US$7.00 per pound, still much higher than the
US$3.00 per pound forecasted only a couple of years ago.

After hovering around US$650-US$700 per troy ounce for the first eight months of 2007, gold
prices began a sustained increase in September 2007. By the end of 2007, gold prices had reached
around US$840 per troy ounce. The average gold price for 2007 was US$697 per troy ounce. The
meteoric rise of gold prices could be attributed to among other things recessionary fears, inflation
concerns, US Federal Reserve rate easing, dollar weakness and geopolitical concerns. As these
factors are likely to remain in place in 2008, some mining analysts predict gold prices could break
US$1,000 per troy ounce in 2008.

substitution.” Despite a slight increase in stock level in 2007, aluminum prices increased 3% to US$2,639 per
tonne in 2007 from US$2,566 per tonne in 2006 partly due to inflow from hedge funds on the back
of turbulent equity market, high oil prices, and weak US dollar. Power disruptions in South Africa
and China caused aluminium prices to jump sharply to US$3,200 per tonne in early 2008. By the
end of first quarter 2008 the power disruptions issue has settled down and mounting surpluses
should keep prices under downward pressure. Aluminium prices however are still supported by
rising energy prices and inflow from financial investors. Mining analysts expect aluminium price to
hover around US$2,800 per tonne by mid 2008.

How We Manage Risk


Mining is a slow-yielding, capital intensive and risky business. It takes years and a large amount of capital to explore, discover and
develop new mining sites and build smelting plants. The expenditures for exploration programs, known as “risk capital” might not be
recoverable since there is no guarantee that such programs will result in discovery of mineable deposits. Meanwhile, it will take two
to three years to develop smelting plants and they can further be delayed by disruptions or cost overruns, which are not uncommon
in this industry.

Fully aware of the various risks we have to face, we proactively strive to improve our risk management capabilities. In 2003, we
formed a commissioner-level Risk Management Committee with the task of creating a risk philosophy and approving risk policies
formulated by the business units. In 2006, we further integrated and aligned the management of risk to our strategy by establishing
an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) unit that reports directly to our Board of Directors. The ERM unit’s tasks include among
other things: 1) identifying, mapping, measuring and assessing risks based on the approved risk policies and related regulations; 2)
ensuring proper coordination between various risk management functions within the company; and 3) ensuring that effective action
plans are in place. Among the most critical risks faced by our company that we have to be aware of and if possible control are:

Country Risks:
Substantially all of our assets and operations are located in Indonesia. We may be adversely affected by changes in the Government,
Government policies, social instability or other political, economic, legal, regulatory or international developments in or affecting
Indonesia such as terrorist activities, separatist movements, religious and ethnic clashes and tensions, demands of local governments
and labour activism and unrests. The causes of the above risks are beyond our control. However, we are of the view that we know how to
do business in this country very well, that we have a competitive advantage over others in operating a mining business in Indonesia, that
the country is moving in the right direction, and that Indonesian country risks will eventually decrease rather than increase in the future.

Regulatory Risks:
The decentralization drive in the post-Soeharto era has created regulatory uncertainties with regards to licensing, royalties and
other permits and regulations. We manage risks related to mining licenses by maintaining very solid relationships with all levels of
government from the central government to local leaders as well as with local communities. A possible solution to the regulatory risk
is the draft mining law which will bring certainty (although not enforcement) to the issues miners face. One provision in the proposed
law may curb the surge in low value-added ore exports out of Indonesia and while doing so cause us to forego a portion of our
revenues. However, this clause is not likely be enforced immediately but applied in 3 to 5 years from the passing of the new law, in
order to give companies like ours time to implement previously made plans to move downstream.

Operational Risks:
Operational risks are risks that negatively impact our day to day business operations, the health and safety of workers, the environment
and the surrounding community. These risks include among other things strike actions, non compliance towards standard operational
procedures, illegal mining and failures in environmental management. To minimize these risks, we continuously train and educate
our workforce, appoint world class contractors, implement a zero-accident policy, maintain good relations with workers and
local communities, and maintain globally accepted environmental standards. To help ensure we meet international standards of
management and environmental management, we are ISO-certified at our nickel and gold facilities and precious metal refinery.

Strategic Risks:
Strategic risks are risks associated with strategic direction of the company. They are driven by uncertainties concerning company
114 policy, budget, or a change in stakeholder requirements. Strategic risks include project delays or unrealised projects, potential loss of
opportunity in acquiring new business acumen and initiative development such as change management, and efficiency improvement
initiatives and the potential of wrongfully selecting a strategic partner.

Commodity Price Risks


Commodity prices are volatile and rise and fall in line with changes in supply and demand. Currently there is a strong risk that average
annual nickel prices will fall from the peak of 2007. While our customer base is diversified and we are not dependent upon any single
market, our revenue would still be negatively impacted by falling prices. To mitigate this risk we may conduct hedging activities,
with the main goal of protecting our revenue budget. However, certain hedging positions may also cause us to forgo the upside
potential in an increasing price environment. As well, we also maintain a “natural hedge” by having a diversity of revenue streams
and products.

We feel commodity price risk is better managed by lowering our production costs. We are committed to replacing diesel fuel as our
main source of energy with other less expensive fuel, such as natural gas, hydropower or coal. We recently signed a deal to acquire
15 megawatts from a run-of-river hydropower plant. We have also made efforts to lower costs by renovating and replacing older
equipment, boosting production volumes and reducing the size of our workforce.

Currency Risks
Our revenue and cash are substantially all in US dollars while the majority of our operating costs are in Rupiah. Although our debt
is all in US dollars, we are generally adversely affected when the US dollar weakens against the Rupiah. To mitigate this risk we
occasionally enter into hedging arrangements. Under our foreign currency hedging policy, we may only hedge to an amount not
exceeding 30% of our monthly working capital requirements.

Board of Commissioners and Directors


PT Antam Tbk.

We have assessed management’s assertions that the Gorporate Governance Statement of PT Antam Tbk. (Antam) for the
year ended December 31, 2007 is presented in accordance with the 2nd edition of Australian Securities Exchange Corporate
Governance Principles and Recommendations (2007 ASX CG Principles and Recommendations) issued by the ASX Corporate
Governance Council. Antam’s management is responsible for the assertions.

The assessment was conducted through document reviews and interviews at Antam’s head office. We did not validate the
information provided by management in the course of this assessment. It is the responsibility of Antam’s management to
ensure that the information provided to us was in fact true, accurate, and up to date. We believe that our assessment provides
a reasonable basis for our conclusion. Our conclusion does not provide legal determination on Antam’s compliance with
specified requirements.

Our assessment concludes that management’s assertions referred to above is fairly presented in accordance with the 2007
ASX CG Principles and Recommendations, and is summarised below.

LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR OVERSIGHT AND MANAGEMENT


Antam has established and adequately disclosed the respective roles and responsibilities of the Board Commissioners and the
Board of Directors, that is clear, and includes a balance of authority to avoid excessive power of any single individual and enables
a proper framework to assist in understanding the respective accountabilities and contributions of the Board of Commissioners
and the Board of Directors, and of each executive director. Improvement opportunities include utilising a letter of appointment
for newly appointed board members and the disclosure of the performance review of senior executives.

STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE


Antam has a board that collectively is able to discharge its responsibility as imposed by the prevailing laws and regulations, and
add value to the company. Improvement opportunities exist in disclosure of the Board of Commissioners and its committees’
performance evaluation, and also in further elaborating the procedures for induction of new board members.

Ethical and Responsible Decision-Making


Antam has conducted a sufficient effort in promoting ethical and responsible decisions, to comply with legal obligations, and
118 to consider reasonable expectations of their stakeholders. We noted that Antam has also established frameworks to support
the ethical building within the organization, through refinement of its code of conduct, requirement of an annual statement to
comply with the code of conduct, and a whistleblower mechanism. The code of conduct is posted at Antam’s intranet portal
for internal socialisation, and at its website for external socialisation. Nevertheless, there are still areas for improvements to
optimise the current practices and mechanism. Therefore, Antam needs to develop and conduct a formal program to regularly
socialize the code of conduct and monitor its implementation. In addition, opportunity for improvements also exists to further
refine the accountability of the whistleblower mechanism.

Safeguard Integrity in Financial Reporting


Antam has put in place a structure of review and authorisation designed to ensure the truthful and factual presentation of
the company’s financial statements, through establishment of an audit committee that has considerable involvement in
assessing finance related aspects within Antam and by establishing a process to ensure the independence and competence
of external auditors.

Make Timely and Balanced Disclosure


Antam has disclosed its financial and operational performance in a timely and balanced way; however it has not been done
at the same level regarding its governance information. The policy regarding disclosure of information or its summary needs
to be disclosed when finalised.

Respect the Rights of Shareholders


Antam has provided frameworks, to empower shareholders in communicating with Antam and in participating in the
General Meeting of Shareholders, and also access to information regarding the company’s operations, including
financial information.

Recognise and Manage Risk


Antam has developed a sound policy regarding the risk management and internal control system, and in identifying and
managing its material business risks. However, Antam might lack a supporting structure to assist its policy, predominantly in
the financial reporting risks.

Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly


Antam has provided a framework to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and
linked to performance, to the extent that it does not go beyond the prevailing laws and regulations that govern Antam as a
State Owned Enterprise in Indonesia.

Antam’s current level of adoption within each principle of the 2007 ASX CG Principles and Recommendations are as
marked below.

Statement on the Status of


Corporate Governance Practices
Corporate Governance is a dynamic force that keeps evolving. PT Antam Tbk. (Antam) believes
that Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is a system that needs to be executed consistently and
continuously to achieve sustainable growth through a management practices system based on the
principles of transparency, accountability, responsibility, independency and fairness.

Becoming a listed company in Indonesia in 1997 and in Australia in 1999 has also moved
Antam forwards in continuously improving its corporate governance practices to optimise
the value of the company for its shareholders by also taking into consideration the interest of
other stakeholders. Nation-wide, as one of the largest state-owned enterprises (SOE), GCG
implementation at Antam is sometimes used as example for other SOE; in due course this
could also be beneficial to enhance market confidence which may promote investment flow and
sustainable economic growth for the nation.

Some significant instances of GCG practices that took place in the fiscal year 2007 include the
finalisation of corporate policy manual, performance review of individual executive directors and
of board-level committees, continuing enterprise risk management implementation, corporate
sustainability report, and development of policies to support improvement of its governance
practices. Overall, Antam is continuously improving its governance practices compared to previous
years, and the individuals within are enthusiastic to take necessary actions to improve it.

Even more, Antam is accelerating the adoption of the new 2007 ASX Corporate Governance
Principles and Recommendations (2nd edition, year 2007) as suggested by the ASX Corporate
Governance Council, and reports its corporate governance practices as assessed using the
revised principles and recommendations.

Description of Antam’s governance structure and practice are provided below, including the
adoption on ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations and Indonesia Code
of GCG issued by the National Committee on Governance, during the fiscal year 2007.

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
Based on the Indonesia Corporation Law No.40 of year 2007 (Indonesia Corporation Law),
the organs of a company consist of the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS), the Board of
Commissioners (BOC), and the Board of Directors (BOD).

The management of a limited liability company in Indonesia uses a two board system, namely the
BOC and the BOD, each of which has a clear authority and responsibility based on their respective
120
functions as mandated by the Articles of Association and laws and regulations. Based on the legal
framework, the function of independent directors in a single-board system is represented by the
function of the BOC in a two-board system.

and does not contradict the company’s interest. GMS does not have the authority to decide on
certain matters, unless all shareholders are present and or represented in the GMS, and concurs
with the agenda of meeting. Shareholders, individually or represented by a proxy are entitled to
attend the GMS and use its voting rights in accordance with its shareholding. For the 2007 GMS,
notices to inform and invite shareholders were sent in accordance with prevailing requirements,
and published in three newspapers, in Bahasa Indonesia and English. The invitation notice and
proxy form were also posted at Antam’s website. The agenda of the GMS was included in the
notice. Shareholders that will attend the GMS can request the agenda and necessary supporting
information from Antam; the articles of association also provide explanation as to the availability of
procedures for shareholders to do so.

The Boards
Members of the BOC and the BOD were appointed in the GMS. The BOC and the BOD, each of
which has a clear authority and responsibility based on their respective functions, as mandated
by the articles of association and laws and regulations, and further elaborated into charters of
each respective board. Both have the responsibility to maintain the company sustainability in
the long term. Accordingly, the BOC and the BOD must have the same perception regarding the
company’s vision, mission and values. In providing the framework that support this, Antam has
developed a company policy manual and a code of conduct that was signed by all members of
the BOC and the BOD. The document clearly defined the vision, mission, and values of Antam; 121
the framework supporting Antam’s operation, which includes among others policies on strategy-
making, organisation structure, corporate secretarial function, oversight and control system,
risk management, ethical standards, communication mechanism, legal, operational, human

Collectively, the BOC and BOD has the expertise to discharge its mandate effectively, it is
supported with members that have proper understanding of, and competence to deal with,
the current and emerging issues of the business; exercise independent judgement; encourage
enhanced performance of the company; and can effectively review and challenge the performance
of management. Members of the BOC have various backgrounds in finance, engineering, mining
and management; whilst four members of the BOD have more than twenty experience within the
company, and one director previously held a position in the Ministry of Finance.

As at June 2007, one of the independent commissioners resigned from his position as a member
of BOC, and two commissioners retired from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
Therefore the composition of independent board members has increased from 30% to 44% as at
December 2007.

The performance evaluation of the BOC is to be conducted by the NRHRD Committee, using a
self-assessment or peer evaluation system as decided in the BOC meeting, and the results is to
be communicated to the GMS. The evaluation is to be conducted by using criteria stipulated in
the company’s policy manual, such as attendance in board meetings and committee meetings.
In addition, both individually and collectively, evaluation is to be conducted on the integrity.
Knowledge and understanding of values, mission, vision and the company’s plans.

The actual performance evaluation of the BOC in 2007 was conducted by utilising the self-
assessment system on the collective performance of each BOC committee by measuring the
achievement of its annual plan. There is no specific performance evaluation conducted on the
BOC, as each Commissioner, as part of its oversight role, is also a member of a committee.
Performance evaluation for the BOC was not linked directly with BOD remuneration, as the
remuneration was determined by the GMS, and calculated on a set proportion of the President
Directors remuneration in accordance with a letter from Secretary of the Ministry of SOE No. S-
326/S.MBU/2002 dated 3 May 2003.

The Indonesian Law No.40 of year 2007 regarding Limited Liability Company states that the

was determined by the GMS, although the basis of proposing the remuneration to the GMS is by
using a formula developed by the NRHRD Committee, in consideration of the market rate, the
company’s earnings, return on assets, return on equity, achievement of KPIs, and in accordance
135
with the letter from Secretary of the Ministry of SOE No. S-326/S.MBU/2002 dated 3 May
2003. The Indonesian Law No.40 of year 2007 regarding Limited Liability Company states the
remuneration for the BOD is determined based on the GMS decision, which can be delegated to
the BOC and decided during a BOC meeting. The remuneration for the BOD is also stipulated in
the BOD charter, which states the remuneration for members of the BOD is decided at the GMS by
considering inputs from the BOC, and that the remuneration must be linked to performance, based
on the evaluation performed by the BOC and by considering inputs from the NRHRD Committee.

ensure that internal controls, risk management, and the implementation of GCG practices on
processes within Antam has been conducted according to the prevailing regulations. The Internal
Audit also provides consulting services and acts as a catalyst to assist management and the
auditee in achieving their targets and objectives. As well, the unit acts as a competent partner
to the Audit Committee in carrying its oversight function. The internal audit reports directly to the
President Director, and is independent of the external auditors, this is aligned with the Standards
of Internal Auditors issued by the Institute of Internal Auditors. During year 2007 the unit submitted
fourteen audit reports to management. The Chief Audit Executive is appointed by the President
Director in consideration of suggestions from the BOC, through its Audit Committee.

The scope of this unit covers a review of the company’s performance, GCG implementation, post-
mining, remuneration, whistleblower reporting, and reporting of risks and implementation of risk
management. The objective is to help ensure the effectiveness of internal control systems established
by management, to the extent that risks have been identified and appropriately managed; to ensure
the governance system with stakeholders has been appropriately managed; to ensure the operational,
managerial, and financial information are timely and reliable; to ensure employees actions have
been in accordance with the policies, standards, procedures, and prevailing laws and regulation;
to ensure resources have been obtained and used economically and appropriately safeguarded; to
ensure programs, plans, and objectives are met; to ensure quality assurance has been conducted
and followed with continuous improvements; to ensure legal issues that have significant influence
have been identified and appropriately managed. The unit developed an annual risk based audit
plan consisting of issues and audit focuses. Currently, the audit focuses on key risks identified and
mapped into Antam’s risk profiles by the Risk Management Unit.

Risk Management
Antam has established policies for the oversight and management of material business risks as
described in its company policy manual which will be further refined in 2008. The policy on risk
management is used as a base to develop policies and in decision-making on aspects related
to risk management. The policy describes risk management practices at Antam, which includes
definition on the risk management philosophy, the objective of managing risk, general policy
on managing risk, and the process of managing risk starting from establishing the context, risk
138
identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation, risk management, monitoring and review, and the
communication and consulting activities in risk management. An enterprise risk management
(ERM) policy has also been developed, which is an elaboration from the company policy manual
that provides more detailed explanation on the process of managing risks. The coverage of risk
management processes described in the ERM policy is adopting the risk management framework
in the Australian/New Zealand Standard for Risk Management – ANZ 4360.

and Reserves Description of Antam Risk Management Governance of Antam Sustainability Report Auditing Antam Contact Us

In addition, Antam has established a Risk Management (RM) Unit to help create a culture of risk
awareness throughout the organisation by emphasising that risk is the business for everyone. The
unit is responsible to identify, assess and manage significant risks at Antam’s strategic business
units (SBUs), business units (BUs), Head Office unit, as well as subsidiaries, on approved risk
policies and related regulations, to ensure proper coordination between various risk management
functions within the organisation, and to ensure that effective actions are in place. The internal
audit function has the responsibility to monitor compliance of the ERM policy as well as ensuring
that the standard operating procedures are aligned with the ERM policy.

The RM Unit reports directly to the President Director, and functions to coordinate all risk
management process within Antam by communicating strategic risks identified to the BOD and
monitoring the progress of action plans on those risks, developing the company’s risk profile (risk
register) and submitting it to the BOD and Risk Management Committee. The unit helps ensure
that risks are on a tolerable level by continuously developing and monitoring the implementation
of ERM policy and processes, ensuring the risk management practices are attainable and applied
consistently throughout the organisation so that it can be assured that risks are on a tolerable level.
Throughout 2007, the RM unit communicated regularly with the Risk Management Committee and
submitted eleven reports regarding the status of risk management practices at Antam.

Performance Based Human Resources Management


Antam applied a human resources management policy for employees below the BOD level,
that includes a mechanism to set up long and short term work targets, work evaluation,
and conflict resolution, which eventually will to be linked to remuneration. Work targets are
designed to encompass the concept of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic
and supported with Time frame for performance review). Antam has developed a performance
evaluation system, “Sistem Manajemen Unjuk Kerja” (SMUK) for this purpose. The results of the
performance evaluation is collectively agreed by the employee and his or her supervisor, and
used as basis for an objective employees’ development program.

The company policy manual states that Antam values its employees, including senior executives,
based on his or her competency and performances and this should be reflected in the compensation
and benefits which are equal to similar companies, and in consideration of the financial ability of
the company. The compensation provided by Antam is rewarded to employees based on position
and responsibility, and on positive contribution of their performance. Rewards come in the form of
salary, benefits, and other benefits required by the prevailing law or otherwise determined. Benefits
in the form of facilities and or other non-cash benefits are also made to increase employees’ 139
wealth. In further ensuring a remuneration policy design that can motivate senior executives and
other employees to pursue long-term growth and success, Antam is refining its remuneration policy
in the company policy manual to be finalised in 2008. Rewards provided to employees should be
designed to enable Antam to motivate human resources in achieving corporate objectives, and
ultimately ensuring Antam’s employees are a competitive advantage.

This report is an abridged version of Antam’s Corporate Sustainability Report which contains our
efforts in sustainable development in the fields of economics, environment and social.

We have prepared this report to portray our learning process from challenges and issues that
we faced in 2007. The complete Corporate Sustainability Report is written based on the Global
Reporting Initiative – GRI G3 and contains more than 80 pages.

For Antam, the word sustainable means that Antam has to fullfill its vision as a mining company
with an international standard and competitive advantage in the global market as well as being
able to benefit the community and environment where we operate.

To put further emphasis on our concerns to the environment and surrounding community, we have
formed a Commissioner level committee to handle related matters to the environment, community
development and post mining. In 2007, we had two fatal accidents at Buli and Pongkor. Incidents
like these are why we are committed to improve the work and health safety management.

Corporate Governance and Management Systems


As a dual listed company in Indonesia and Australia, compliance to the stock exchange regulations
is a must. We are committed to adhere to the corporate governance implementation in all aspects
of company’s operations and activities.

Most of our business units have implemented international standard management systems such
as in quality management (ISO 9000) and environmental management (ISO 14001).

Stakeholders’ Involvement
We fully understand the importance of the communication between us and our stakeholders. This
is important to support our business activities from the strategic planning, implementation until
the evaluation of corporate projects and initiatives. The ongoing mechanism to ensure an effective
communication with our stakeholders include community development and community relations
activities, shareholders’ meetings, Bipartit Forum with the union, Tripartit Forum, Development
Planning Coordination meetings, annual report and press releases, consultative meetings with the
government environmental agency, community welfare acceleration programs, partnership and
community development programs, and many others.

Environmental Performance
Antam’s commitment to proper enviromental management was reflected in the increased
expenditure of environmental rehabilitation. In 2007, Antam’s environmental expenditure increased
146
6% to Rp43 billion compared to 2006.

Antam to Purchase Green Energy


In order to maintain and create sustainable business growth and operations, which is one of our strategies to grow and meet our
objective to create shareholder value, we strive to conduct our operations as environmentally and socially sustainable as possible. The
signing of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with PT Tamboli Energi (Tamboli) is an example of such efforts.

In September 2007, we entered into a PPA with Tamboli covering a supply of 15MW peak load capacity of electricity to our Pomalaa’s
ferronickel facilities from Tamboli’s 4x5MW hydro power plant. The power plant, which is located at Kolaka area about 63 km from
Pomalaa, will be in form of a Run of River (ROR) hydropower plant.

This type of hydropower plant is built on a river with a consistent and steady flow of water. Electricity is generated by diverting a
portion of the water from the river to spin the power station’s turbines utilizing the natural flow and elevation drop of the river. The
water will leave the power generating station and return to the river without altering the river’s existing flow or water level. As no or
very minimal flooding at the upper part of the river is required, natural habitats are mostly preserved and there is no need to relocate
people living around the river.

In contrast, man-made reservoirs of hydropower plants using man-made dams usually involve complex displacements of large
number of populations living nearby. It may also produce substantial amounts of methane and carbon dioxide, the main components
of greenhouse gas, as the results of decaying plants in the anaerobic environments in the flooded areas. Moreover, they also change
the downstream river environments drastically. Dams slow the river and this change may cause damages to the ecological patterns.
Another problem caused by dams is changes in the rivers temperatures. Reservoirs are warmer at the top and colder at the bottom.
As water from the reservoirs, usually the colder water from the lower parts, is released to the downstream rivers, organisms depending
on regular cycle of temperatures may perish and may endanger the aquatic populations of the river.

ROR hydropower is a source of renewable energy that does not emit greenhouse gases and is much friendlier to the environment
compared to hydroelectric generators with man-made dams and reservoirs, let alone compared to thermal fuel power stations. We
will therefore support any effort by Tamboli to obtain Certified Emission Reductions (CER) through Clean Development Mechanism
(CDM) for its ROR hydropower plant.

The Tamboli PPA is not only environmentally sustainable, it is socially beneficial as well. By working together with Tamboli, a domestic
company based in the island of Sulawesi, we are supporting the development of the businesses and economy in the regional area
where we operate.

Last but not least, the signing of PPA with Tamboli makes good business sense. Although it only covers a small portion of our overall
energy needs, it is an important step in our efforts to decrease our dependence on the more expensive diesel fuel as our main source
of energy. Upon the commencement of the hydropower purchase at US$ 0.0565 / KWh in 2009, we expect to lower our ferronickel
power cost by up to 8- 10%, which will result in a reduction of our ferronickel cash cost by up to 3 - 4%.
