The construction of PT AMNT's smelter in West Sumbawa Regency is progressive, now reaching 70%. In fact, during the visit of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, some time ago to West Sumbawa, the progress only reached 51%. "At the time of the President's visit a few months ago, the progress had only reached 51%. Now it has reached 70%," explained Acting Governor of NTB Drs H Lalu Gita Ariadi, M.Si when he had the opportunity to watch from the air the progress of PT AMNT's smelter construction, Saturday, October 28, 2023.

On that occasion, Pj Governor Miq Gite explained that the construction of the PT AMNT Smelter and the many regional infrastructure development projects involved many local workers. Under normal conditions, the number of workers reaches 6 thousand people, now with many project activities, the number of workers reaches 20 thousand people. There are smelter construction works, project expansion, construction of PLTU, SWRO, Jetty and other developments.

"In normal conditions, the number of people working reached 6 thousand people, now with many project activities, the number of people working reached 20 thousand people," explained Miq Gite.

Miq Gite hopes that in 2024 the smelter work can be completely built and operated in 2025. The Pj Governor also hopes that other ancillary industries will soon follow so that an Industrial Estate is formed in KSB which can bring benefits to the people of NTB.

"Hopefully in 2024 the smelter will be completed and operational in 2025. Hopefully other ancillary industries will soon follow so that an Industrial Estate is formed in KSB," he hoped.
