The company said the concession contained estimated reserves of 6 million tonnes of high-quality thermal coal.
Borneo chairman and chief executive officer Nils Ollquist said the acquisition was a major boost for the company.
“Our ongoing efforts in the region continue to give us the opportunity to secure very attractive properties with high quality coal, thus enabling us to continue to expand the company's portfolio and increase shareholder value,” he said.
