The Bush family takes an interest in Indonesian gold.

'The world's biggest gold mine' was in Indonesia, on the Busang River, in Kalimantan.

Canadian company Bre-X owned the site.

There was a suggestion that Bre-X should link up with a much larger firm called Barrick, which was tied in with George Bush Senior.

Bush sent a letter to Suharto, supporting Barrick.

Indonesian officials tried to force a marriage between Barrick and Bre-X. Barrick to get 67.5% of the mine, Bre-X 22.5% and the government 10%

There was growing tension. Bre-X was linked up with Suharto's son Sigit. Barrick was linked up with Suharto's daughter Siti Rukmana.

Suharto got Bob Hasan to arrange a deal. Freeport would run the mine. Bre-X would keep 45 percent of the ownership. The main shareholder in Freeport was Henry Kissinger.

The deal was announced on February 17, 1997. 

Weeks later, Bre-X's geologist at Busang, Michael de Guzman, apparently fell out of his helicopter. On March 26 Freeport reported that Busang had only "insignificant amounts of gold."

However, some people had made a lot of money from Bre-X shares, before the fraud was discovered.


Joko Widodo, with the US ambassador.

Hopefully, Joko Widodo will steer a neutral course between the USA and China.

Hopefully he will not be a US puppet.
