The Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Indonesia is the agency that is responsible for managing mining tenement. The main purpose in the management is to serve the mining companies in doing general investigation and exploration so that they will not overlap each other with the other mining company tenements. There are various parameters that should be considered in analyzing and managing the mining tenements. The other purpose is to publish the mining activities to the audience needing the information. This GIS application was built using MapObjects with the Visual Basic 6.0 development environment.
