Furthermore, The Mayor mentioned that the locations observed on Tidore Island are Tidore Utara and Tidore Timur. Meanwhile, the recommended location by the City Government is Daratan Oba, considering its geographical proximity to several mining companies.
In principle, the Local Government of Tidore Islands is open, but it must comply with the applicable regulations. On the other hand, the director of PT.
