BMTH live in Jakarta 2024

This time around Ravel gets it right and BMTH (Bring Me The Horizon) are headlining the Nexfest festival in Jakarta which also features Babymetal. In this format there is no seating - which makes for a much more intimate experience - although you do have to arrive really early if you want to pick a spot right up close to the stage.  We arrived about six hours before BMTH were scheduled to start their performance and bought plenty of drinks to stay hydrated in the tropical afternoon heat (mind you, some of those were Iceland vodka mix!)

Stripping ratio (mining term) definition




Not as risqué as it might sound, the stripping ratio does NOT refer to the propensity of Jakarta’s nightclub dancers to throw off their clothes but instead to the relative amount of overburden (waste) required to be moved to access coal seams.

The definition is:

Total overburden (waste) removed / coal mined

Hence if a coalminer has a stripping ratio of 8x, this means that eight times more overburden (waste) is removed in relation to the amount of coal mined.

When coal prices are low, coalminers will typically seek to achieve a low stripping ratio – as removing waste is a costly business. If the stripping ratio is very high, above say 12x, it may mean that the coal is uneconomic to mine.
