Interview With Christian Ariano Rachmat, VP Director

With Adaro’s strong capital structure, is there a possibility for acquisitions?

Our primary goal is to create value from Indonesian coal. Our main strategic focus to accomplish this is through annual organic growth from our existing large reserves. However, we will always consider acquisitions of world class coal deposits in Indonesia if they will add
value.

What do you think is Adaro’s main challenge to stay on track to be bigger and better?

The challenges for mining companies are plentiful. There are many things we cannot control. We just have to remember to not overcomplicate things, to remember our core competencies and to leverage those strengths to create maximum value. For a miner this means focussing on long term, keeping costs low and ensuring large reserves of high quality coal.

What was your greatest achievement in 2009?

My greatest achievement as well as challenge in 2009 was building and improving the organization within Adaro. During the year we were able to become more integrated as a company. We focused on developing a spirit of openness so that our people, coming from all sorts of backgrounds, can exceed their own expectations and get excited about building Adaro Energy into something even bigger and better. I am happy to see the culture of Adaro Energy developing into that of a happy productive home.

What do you hope to achieve in 2010?

I am hoping we can continue to build on what we achieved in 2009. It is about finding the right people. All across the organization we want to put the most capable people in the most appropriate positions.
