Kalau memang benar perusahaan tersebut masih dalam tahap eksplorasi . . seingat saya kok belum perlu mengajukan 'Amdal' . . . apalagi harus punya . . silakan dikoreksi kalau ada peraturan baru yang mengharuskan itu.
Penggunaan kata "operating" dalam dunia pertambangan (mining) lebih merujuk pada kegiatan yang telah pada tahap melakukan penambangan . . jadi menurut saya lebih tepat jika salah satu isi berita/pernyataannya menjadi: ". . . although it has already been exploring there for a long time" . . . instead of . . . " although it has already been operating there for a long time" Soal merusak 'Batanghari Gadis National Park' . . karena masih merupakan 'tuduhan' maka itu perlu dibuktikan . . atau atas inisiatif perusahaan tersebut sendiri: (menggunakan 'cara' hukum yang sedang gencar diteriakkan) melakukan 'pembuktian terbalik' : PT Sorik membuktikan bahwa mereka tak sedang merusak taman nasional tersebut . .

North Sumatra Energy and Mining Office head Untungta Kaban said PT Sorikmas Mining, which operates in Mandailing Natal regency, had not applied for an Amdal permit, although it has already been operating there for a long time. The majority of PT Sorikmas Mining’s shares are owned by an Australian company. “What I know is that the company does not have an Amdal permit. It is currently carrying out explorations,” Untungta said on Tuesday. Local residents have held repeated rallies over this issue, and have accused the company of damaging Batang Gadis National Park. In the latest rally on Monday, protesters urged the government to review the company’s contract to work in Mandailing Natal. — JP sumber: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/11/25/mining-company-operates-sans-permit.html tabik bosman batubara weblog: http://usirsorikmasmining.wordpress.com/
