  Mold Owners

  PT. Newmont  ordered one Bay Ball and one Pallet Ball 06/02/1999 through the  Reef Ball Foundation Reefs Around the World Grant Program.  The molds were licensed for unlimited use on a single site for non-commercial uses.  The molds were re-built by PT Newmont and are now green and not the color normally associated with Reef Ball molds...this is because they built over 3,200 Reef Balls with just 2 molds!  Note: Molds can be repaired or rebuilt as long as the number of site licenses does not increase and the molds are used only for the original license purpose.  

  PT. Newmont Nusa Tenggara, Jl. Sriwijaya no. 258, Mataram 83126, Lombok bought one Bay Ball and one Pallet Ball mold on 3/18/2003 (delivered in July 2003)  licensed for unlimited use by Nusa Tenggarra for non-commercial uses.
