Tembagapura, Mining district in Mimika Regency, Indonesia.

Tembagapura stretches across 2,586 square kilometers in the Sudirman Range, featuring fourteen distinct communities at an elevation of 1,900 meters above sea level.

The district transformed in the late 1960s when Freeport-McMoran established a company town to support operations at the Grasberg gold and copper mine.

The district began with 500 Amung people and developed into a multicultural hub where mining professionals from different nations interact with local communities.

The International School of Tembagapura serves children aged 3 to 13, offering education programs with modern facilities and international curriculum standards.

The district records approximately 3,220 millimeters of annual rainfall, creating specific conditions for the operation of one of the largest mining complexes globally.
