Indonesia to ban unprocessed metals from 2014
Indonesia will ban exports of some unprocessed metals from 2014 and could revoke the export licences of firms that violate the ban, the energy ministry said in a regulation that was posted on its website on Friday but later disappeared.
Indonesia will ban exports of 14 raw metals from 2014 and will ask all miners to submit plans to build smelters to add value to the country's mineral sector, mining minister Jero Wacik said on Thursday.
