In addition to the mining permits described above, there are still two types of mining permits that existed before Law Number 4 of 2009, namely Contract of Work and Coal Mining Concession Work Agreement. Contract of Work, hereinafter abbreviated as KK, is an agreement between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and a company incorporated as an Indonesian legal entity to carry out mineral mining business activities. Meanwhile, the Coal Mining Concession Work Agreement, hereinafter abbreviated as PKP2B, is an agreement between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and a company incorporated as an Indonesian legal entity to conduct coal mining business activities. These two types of mining permits ceased to exist after 2009 once the Minerba Law was enacted.
