Papua New Guinea’s Central Highlands has the highest and most attractive grades of gold, copper and nickel compared to the rest of the world according to Dr John Aspden, the chief geologist of MRA (Mineral Resources Authority).
Dr Aspden revealed this in a power point presentation at the MRA headquarters last Friday evening.
Dr Aspden heads the geological survey sponsored by the European Union (EU)’s Mining Sector Support Program GEOMAP.
He said data collected in the past three years in the Central Highlands had shown incredibly rich and highly elevated deposits of gold, copper and nickel.
Eight of the world’s leading mining companies including the British mining giant CRA’s Rio Tinto who still own the mining prospecting licences for the Bougainville copper mine and Barrick Gold , have purchased the data from MRA, Dr Aspden said.
The data costs K5000.
“It has been an extremely successful exercise,” Dr Aspden said.
The exercise involved an aerial geophysical and geological mapping surveys and collection of samples from 5000 sites.
“Their values are remarkably high. It’s quite incredible, almost all of Central Highlands samples collected show that the region is sitting on elevated deposits of gold and copper,” Dr Aspden said.
MRA’s managing director Kepas Wali added that the minerals industry would continue to make a huge contribution to PNG’s economy. He said the data produced by EU’s Geomap project will attract investors and also provide the type of information they require for further mineral exploration and mining operations.
According to the third quarter of the 2009 Bank of PNG Economic Bulletin, total mineral exports in that quarter amounted to K2,344.7 million which is 61.2 per cent of the total merchandise exports.
Mr Wali said the mineral industry would continue to generate revenue for PNG from its mineral exports and more new mines would open up.
The Geomap project comes from a grant from EU worth about K50 million.
THE recent apprehension by PNG Customs of an oil tanker carrying fuel it had loaded from Bougainville copper mine storage tanks is only one of many illegal operations which both the national and the autonomous Bougainville governments have been called on to look into.
A Panguna Landowner Association (PLA) executive said the tanker was only one of many illegal deals being conducted in Bougainville involving Bougainville Copper Ltd (BCL) property and machinery.
Lawrence Daveona said far too many of these businesses had ignored or bypassed established rules and procedures for conduct of business.
Consequently, he said, mine lease area people, who have suffered from the crisis, were missing out on benefits.
Apart from the oil tanker business, another lucrative business was the sale of scrap metal from the now abandoned mine and other parts of Bougainville.
Daveona said the association had an on-going understanding with BCL that all scrap metal, left behind as a result of the crisis, belonged to the landowners and they were allowed to enter into any business arrangement with interested foreign or national partners so long as they have the endorsement of the Autonomous Bougainville Government and relevant national agencies.
The approved process was to get a written approval from the PLA and the ABG to conduct such business before permission is sought from BCL.
Once this is sorted out, the final approval must come from national agencies such as Customs, Internal Revenue Commission and Labour where foreign workers were concerned.
Daveona said this process was necessary to ensure any business opportunity concluded would benefit the mine lease area people.
Tired of watching illegal operations going on, PLA had incorporated its own landowners company called Komeri Holdings Ltd. It had also established Panguna Metals Ltd through a joint partnership with UK-based Capital Equipment Supply Co.
Komeri Holdings shareholding included the two factions of Mekamui holding 5% each, 30% which is held by ex-combatants (BRA 20 % and Bougainville Resistance Fighters 10%) and Panguna Landowners Association (60%).
Daveona is confident that the company was ready to proceed to full operational status.
It has BCL approval to carry out its scrap metal operations in the secondary crusher, concentrator and mine pit areas covering the pit, pit workshop and the primary crusher.
Am Ende wird sich vielleicht sogar noch herausstellen, dass dieses illegale Schürfen der eigentliche Grund ist, warum sich die Landeigentümer nicht einigen wollen. Auf jeden Fall macht es deutlich, dass diese Insel in weiten Teilen immer noch ein rechtsfreier Raum ist. Und die dortige Politik unfähig oder unwillig ist, Ordnung und Autorität herzustellen. Das Leben läuft ja scheinbar auch so irgendwie ganz gut weiter, zumindest für die Kriegsgewinnler. Nur die Krankenhäuser, Schulen, Brücken und all die anderen lebenswichtigen Einrichtungen können so natürlich nicht finanziert und nicht gebaut werden. Und aktuelle Malaria- oder Diphterie-Epidemien kümmern die wohlgenährten und gesunden Kriegsgewinnler anscheinend wohl auch nur wenig. Also wen interessiert´s? Und die Autonomie, die wird dann auch immer mehr zu einer verlogenen Farce. PNG wird es freuen.
You asking me about Ok Tedi LOs….on the ground, some changes but nothing really big, although they have electricity, water and sewerage system (Bultem, Finalbin, Wangbin, Migalsim and majority of Kaworabip & Atemkit villages who have moved down to build houses at Finalbin and Bultem. This 6 villages are the SML villages. The other 6 villages including Ok Ma are LMP villages and don’t have power & water supply from OTML.
They are investing in POM and overseas now after coming to there senses to realise that the mine will close one day. Hopefully these investment can sustain them after mine closure.
They were still roaming the bush when the exploration started and just settled into permanent villages because of the mining activity. Therefore gardening is not their trade, they are hunters and gatherers. OTML is spending a lot of money through the Ok Tedi Fly River Development Foundation to teach and encourage them and all other impacted communities to go into gardening, fish farming, rice farming, rubber, and other cash crop to sustain life after Ok Tedi.
Some are buying land in Kiunga in preparation for the mine closure, many more don’t really care as they are enjoying what they are getting – cash.
Some are realising the importance of the programs and trying their best while many more are enjoying the money from the mine, buying new 5 door land cruisers for drink driving around town and Tabubil Kiunga highway.
Rain fall here is very high, the highest in PNG??, they say.
People still flock the small town especially at lunch time to buy cooked food. Employees have to stand in long lines just to get something from the shop because of this. Some still come and have breakfast in town and then buy a roast chicken for dinner.
One can try and try to change peoples’ attitudes but you will always take the blame for whatever because you brought mine the copper and gold in the area.
May be the people were not ready for change and it took them by surprise – was this the same with BCL or not??
aber sei es drum : Präsident John Momis könnte hier die richtige Antwort sein. Der Kurs zeigt allerdings, dass die Börse es noch nicht glaubt.

Auch mit den von den Japanern finanzierten 15 Brückenbauten zwischen Buka u. Arawa, welche die unabdingbare Voraussetzung für die Rücktransferierung der Hauptstadt nach Arawa sind geht es voran.

The world’s biggest copper producers are warning of looming supply limits at the same time that growing concerns about the global economy leave investors with the largest losses in nine years.
While London Metal Exchange futures anticipate prices no higher than $6,519.50 a metric ton through the end of 2011, or little changed than for delivery now, 13 of 14 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expect a shortage next year. Traders are being too bearish because lower prices may curb spending on mines and exacerbate future shortages, said Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which forecasts a price of $8,050 in 12 months............

Two controversial Australian mining giants who abandoned operations at Bougainville copper mine and the Ok Tedi mine in the Western Province due to the Bougainville crisis and environmental damages are still keen on mineral exploration and mining operations in the country.
BHP Billiton (Australia) and Rio Tinto (Australia) have purchased geochemistry and geophysics datasets of PNG’s Central highlands mineral contents that show that PNG has some of the highest rated gold, copper and nickel deposits compared to the rest of the world.
Their purchase of the data indicates that they are still interested in further exploration and mining activities in the Papua New Guinea Highlands.
The two companies are among nine other leading mining companies from Europe, America and Asia who have purchased the datasets release by the European Union funded Geomap survey.
The other companies that have acquired the database are; Harmony Gold (South Africa), Newmont (Canada), Anglo American (South Africa Great Britain), Marengo Mining (Australia), Barrick (Canada), Khor Eng Hock& Sons (China), Pacific Group Australia.
Minerals Resources Authority (MRA) managing director Kepas Wali said the production of the European Union’s Geomap project database would encourage mining companies to invest in PNG.
MRA chief geologist John Aspden with the EU’s Geomap project showed a power point presentation last Friday of the data collected at the survey which indicates that PNG’s central highlands has grades of high gold, copper and nickel. The Geomap project is funded by the European Union from a grant of K50 million.

Autonomous Bougainville Government President, HON JOHN MOMIS has returned from Port Moresby satisfied with his discussions with government and business officials on the kind of assistance they can offer to Bougainville.
President Momis told a news conference that he has successful talks with various groups both at government and private level on the kind of assistance and support they can give to the region.
He said he would brief his cabinet during a Bougainville Executive Council Meeting tomorrow.
He said some of the things discussed are the proposed Oil palm development scheme at Torokina, Communications like radio station, an airline to improve transportation and other economic and social developmental needs.
President Momis said Bougainville needs these developments to bring money into the region to improve the living standard of the people.
He said an independent radio station would be vital for the dissemination of government information to the people.
Travelling between Buka, Arawa and Buin would be greatly reduced with the introduction of an airline into the region to be operated like the former Bougainville Air Services(BOUGAIR) and improve road system throughout the region.
A Japanese company Kitano Constructions is currently constructing a number of bridges on mainland Bougainville.
Work on these fifteen bridges are expected to take two and half years.
ja, neue Brücken, neue eigene Radiostation, die Kokosnussöl-Wirtschaft und neue Flug- und Straßenverbindungen sind alles wichtige Themen zur Entwicklung dieser Insel. Leider vermisst der Leser ein Wort zum Thema Mining. Und das wird nicht ohne Grund so sein. Es zieht sich eben alles hin.
Longwilli
Und wie schon gesagt, durch Steuern auf Agrarprodukte läßt sich das Geld nicht hereinholen. Mehr Entwicklungshilfe ist auch unwahrscheinlich. Es bleibt dabei : Am Bergbau geht kein Weg vorbei.
"Other areas discussed by the JSB also include capacity building for the Mining division and the initial draw down of mining power to the Autonomous Bougainville Government."
Mittlerweile ist die B' viller MRA (Mineral Resources Authority) operationell (Mit einem Ex-BCL Mitarbeiter als Direktor)
Der Transfert der Miningpower, welcher den Bougainvillern das Recht zugesteht selbst über die Vergabe von Mining Lizenzen zu entscheiden sollte beim nächsten JSB Meeting also nur noch eine Formsache sein.Ein starkes Signal in Richtung Wiedereröffnung der Pangunamine,welches auch von der Gesamtbevölkerung sehr positiv aufgenommen würde wäre der Transfert der BCL Shares (oder zumindest eines Teils davon) von PNG ans ABG.
Warten wir's ab,das 2 te Halbjahr wird noch sehr spannend werden ;-)))))
Und ich gewinne zunehmend den Eindruck, dass manch ein Landeigner lieber illegal und sehr lukrativ Gold schürft in der ach so geschlossenen Mine, als sich zu einigen. Und je länger dieser Einigungsboykott aufrecht erhalten werden kann, desto länger sprudelt diese illegale Einnahmen-Quelle.
Wir hier in Europa haben die weit entfernten Inselbewohner in den letzten Jahren tendenziell immer sehr glorifiziert, uns sie oft als Gutmenschen vorgestellt. Mein heutiger Eindruck ist aber, gar nicht wenige dieser Menschen verkaufen seit geraumer Zeit die vielen Bürgerkriegstoten meistbietend auf dem Goldmarkt.
Nein, es ist wie es ist. Es gibt Kräfte auf der Insel, die die pro-mining-Entwicklung gekonnt untergraben. Und aktuell ist leider nicht erkennbar, ob und wann sich das ändern wird. Und der Artikel aus #3886 macht zwischen den Zeilen genau das deutlich.
Ehrlich gesagt; ich glaube nicht - und da schließe ich mich ein - dass wir Aussenstehenden tatsächlich einen Überblick darüber haben, warum die Landowner noch nicht zu Potte gekommen. Geht´s nur ums Geld oder gehts auch um mächtige Egos oder andere Dinge, wovon wir nichts wissen? Festzuhalten bleibt, dass in den letzten Jahren insbesondere durch Tanis große Fortschritte erzielt wurden. Aber der letzte entscheidende Schritt ist halt noch nicht getan. In meinen Augen braucht man wieder jemand wir Tanis, der die Geschichte moderiert und vorwärts treibt. Ich hoffe, dass Momis sich dafür nicht zu fein ist bzw. jemanden entsendet, der diese Rolle überzeugend einnehmen kann!!!
Jetzt ist Momis jedenfalls wieder in Bougainville, hat in der Zwischenzeit bereits ein zweites Mal mit BOC gesprochen und wird hoffentlich in den nächsten Tagen die richtigen Dinge in die Wege leiten. Würde mich nicht wundern, davon etwas in der Presse zu lesen.
In den letzten Monaten konnte man eher zukaufen, da sich die Situation pro Bergbau klärt und keine weiteren kritischen Ereignisse aus dem Bereich neue Techniken vorliegt. Kritisch ist alerdings die Weltwirtschaft.
nekro hat schon Recht : die nächsten Monate werden weitere wichtige Klärungen bringen - so oder so...
Bei Kupfer braucht man Geduld
von Thomas Godt
Donnerstag 08.07.2010, 11:01 Uhr
London(BoerseGo.de) - Der Kupferpreis steigt zwar am Donnerstag im Gleichschritt mit den asiatischen Märkten, doch richtige Freude kommt nicht so recht auf. Denn die Nachfrage nach Kupfer wächst zwar, aber es wird noch einige Zeit ins Land gehen müssen, um das Niveau vor dem globalen Wirtschaftsabsturz wieder zu erreichen. Der International Wrought Copper Council (IWCC) erwartet, dass dieses Nachfrage-Niveau frühestens in 2011 oder gar erst 2012 wieder erreicht wird. Derzeit sehe man lediglich eine spekulativ anziehende Nachfrage im kleineren Prozentbereich.
After their brief meeting on inauguration day they post phoned to a later date that would be set by the speaker.
And today the speaker ANDREW MIRIKI issued a notice setting the date for the sitting of the house.
According to the notice, members of the House of Representatives will deliver their maiden speeches during this session of parliament.
Meanwhile the Speaker ANDREW MIRIKI this week had briefings with Administration officers to discuss ways of improving parliament services.
He told New Dawn FM that this was the first time for the speaker to meet officers and then meet with staff since he became the Speaker of the house fourteen months ago.
The Speaker was returned to serve his full term this second house.
He became the speaker after the former Speaker Nick Peniai resigned to contest the 2008 Presidential By-elections.

Ich denke dieses Argument dürfen wir getrost ad acta legen. Das ``wilde mining`` wird durch die Aufnahme des geordneten Bergbaues wohl kaum beeinflußt werden. Dafür gibt es genügend Beispiele in dem Rest der Welt.Es ist dabei übrigens auch unerheblich welche Staatsform (Militärdiktatur,Demokratie,Stammesfürsten ect.)darüber wachen soll.Über all da wo Gold gefördert wird geschieht es auf die verschiedenste Art und Weise.In unserem Fall ist das ``wilde mining```ja auch nicht nur auf das eigentliche Minengelände beschränkt.Also diese von dir angenommenen Einkünfte werden kaum wegbrechen.
Meine Vermutung geht nach wie vor eher in die Richtung,das hier bis zu letzt über die Höhe der künftiigen Einnahmen gepokert wird und dies der entscheidende Punkt ist.Die Zeit spielt dabei, für manche Beteiligte nicht primär die Rolle.Gerade wir in Deutschland haben doch mittlerweilen eine Jahrzehntelange Erfahrung darin,wie lange es dauern kann bis sich bestimmte Projekte gegen gegen alle möglichen Widerstände durchsetzen und realisiert werden können.
Vergessen wir nicht, in PNG gehört das mining praktisch zum Alltag.Sie werden sich letzendlich schon dafür entscheiden.Dessen bin ich mir ,quasi nach Faktenlage, ganz sicher. ;D)

Momis to get help from Aust and NZ
THE Australia and New Zealand governments stand ready to help Bougainville in the law and order sector by funding programs for development in the region.
Autonomous Bougainville Government President John Momis yesterday said he had met with Australia and New Zealand high commissioners and Japan Ambassador Nishiyama.
He said both governments pledged their support in the way forward for Bougainville and they stand ready to help in areas of law and order, health, education and good governance. He said Australian High Commissioner Ian Kemish agreed that Australia spent much money on funding the Bougainville Peace Agreement and had not fully assisted after that agreement was signed and they had agreed that they will concentrate to move Bougainville forward.
“The response and reactions I got was overwhelming. Australia has realised that Bougainville made a big contribution and held PNG for many years before the crisis and they agreed to help Bougainville.
“Australia and New Zealand are serious to work with Bougainville to improve all sectors, one of them is to move the capital of Bougainville back to Arawa.”
He also spoke of Planning Minister Paul Tiensten who also alluded to the contribution of Bougainville.
