Mimika, Administrative regency in Central Papua, Indonesia

Mimika Regency extends over 21,693 square kilometers of land, incorporating eighteen districts and numerous rural settlements across Central Papua's southern coast.

The region transformed from an administrative district to a definitive regency in March 2000, following directives from the Papua Provincial Governor.

The districts of Mimika preserve indigenous Papuan traditions while managing the integration of modern administrative systems and mining operations.

Transportation within the regency centers around Timika, which maintains air connections to other Indonesian cities through its regional airport.

The region contains substantial gold and copper deposits, supporting large-scale mining operations while maintaining traditional agricultural practices.
