Trading Bougainville Copper (ADRs) 867948

26.02.2009 | 15:14 Uhr | Rainer Hahn (EMFIS)
RTE London - (www.emfis.com) - Der Kupferpreis kann heute den vierten Tag in Folge zulegen. Die durch die Weltwirtschaftskrise vom Preisverfall belasteten Industriemetall erhalten von einer erhofften Nachfragewelle aus China neue Hoffnung.

Der Kupferpreis legte im Londoner Handel heute um 2,1 Prozent auf 3.480 US Dollar je Tonne zu. Allein im Februar stieg der Kupferpreis um 9,5 Prozent. Aber auch Aluminium und Zink konnten aus der Gattung der Industriemetalle profitieren.

Ausschlaggebend für die Hoffnung einer steigenden Kupfernachfrage sind die Konjunkturprogramme der größten Nachfragenationen China und USA.

Chris Uma,der "General" der Panguna-Roadblocks unterstützt Tanis und wird mit dem ABG zusammenarbeiten um das Referendum zur Unabhängigkeit zu erreichen.Auch wenn noch nichts von der Aufhebung der Roadblocks verlautet,am wackeln sind sie allemal ;-))))))))))))))))))

By AUGUSTINE KINNA
THE commander of the Me’ekamui force, Chris Uma, is prepared to work alongside the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) to meet the objectives of referendum to independence.
Mr Uma said this while meeting with ABG President James Tanis and two ministers, Robert Hamal Sawa and Glen Tovirika, in Arawa on Tuesday.
“We are happy that the president and his delegation have taken time to visit us because, at the moment, we need a leader who can direct us to the right path, and I am confident that Mr Tanis is going the right way,” he said.
“We want peace throughout Bougainville and we are also prepared to support the ABG in the process of reconciliation and weapons disposal.”
As a Bougainvillean, he saw the road to independence as the main objective and, therefore, it was time to work as a team, he said.
Mr Uma said he understood that Mr Tanis had bridged the gaps with the Government, the administration, warlords, churches and the people of Bougainville to restore confidence and trust for reconciliation to take place.
Mr Uma said his people were ready to reconcile and move on with their lives.
Mr Tanis said that all Bougainvilleans must unite to restore peace in the region.
He said he would shortly be moving to Arawa in order to work closely with the Me’ekamui force and other factions in South Bougainville.
He would be “going right down to the people” in order to understand the situation and to approach it in a peaceful manner, he added.

Our President is on the right pathway.

The Minister for Health , and the AROB Health Planner and the Officials were very well received by the so called Mekamui factions especially Mr. Damien Koike. They were well prepared and recieved them in a Bbin Telei traditional way and with honouner and respect and full military way.
They reserved their speech for the President when he return in two weeks time. The community made a special request to the president's return.

Autonomy still the best way forward........

........und die erreicht man nur über finanzielle Autonomie = Eröffnung der Pangunamine ;-)))))))))))))

I FEEL I need to share my thoughts with regards to the letter by Mamando Pain “Autonomy not the way forward” (Feb 24).
I think the writer’s analysis of the reasons why many provinces of New Guinea Islands and other parts of PNG were opting for greater autonomy was shallow and ill-conceived.
I believe the underlying reasons for autonomy is for better service delivery and the well-being of the grassroots who have been neglected by the centralised government system over the years.
The issue of loyalty to the State is not be affected as the main functions of Government such as police, defence, foreign affairs and finance will still be controlled by Waigani.
Autonomy will allow an autonomous government to raise its own revenue through tax which can then be budgeted and use internally to improve service delivery to the people.
The current centralised financial system that we have is not effective except for recent changes as in the DSIP initiative that the rural people may now see some change in service delivery in the districts.
However, the complete success of DSIP is yet to be seen and it will depend on how it is being managed.
The NGI provinces are 10 times more mature politically than the rest of PNG, and they have a clear vision of their political and economic future while still being part of a greater PNG.
If the writer and the rest of PNG want to sit around and wait for the “big man” from a centralised system based in Waigani to deliver services to their people, then God help them.
A centralised government system has been the recipe for tyranny, dictatorship and gross corruption.
The autonomous seekers are only trying to help deliver services and improve the lives of their people in the best possible way – through an autonomous government.

Minister may be next week to disscuss about the ABG Executive Decision. (voraussichtlich am nächsten Samstag)


It is good to see that the New President, The AROB Regional Member in the PNG National Parliament, The New South Bougainville Member of PNG National Parliament with the ABG members are now committed to work together as one unique team to bring about togetherness amongst us the People of AROB and all the major and small factions.
The president has now engaged his First Secretary and the Minister for LLG with others to arrange another trip in two weeks time. His visit this time is not only to main centres but to other remote areas where no ABG members have visited before after the crisis.
This week the house of representatives had a very tough and constructive factual debate on appointing our new long awaited  Chief Administrator. The president will be meeting the Deputy Prime Minister may be next week to disscuss about the ABG Executive Decission.
I would like to congradulate my New South Bougainville member for taking an initiative to organise the South Bougainville ABG Members and other South Bougainville educated , chiefs and other stake holders for the future planned meeting at Torokina for the proposal of four major impact project for South Bougainville especially the Rural Electrification proposal.
The Mekamui as Kinna said are now commited to peace. I would like the Police, The Freedom Fighters and Home guards that have been formed recently to make the same committment. These guys have the latest Military weapons in hand.
That's why the Mekamui faction is requesting a Third Party to dis-armed and collect all weapons.

This web site has been established to tell you about the work of New Dawn FM, a pioneering radio station in the Autonomous Province of Bougainville.

Most of the people who read this site will not be able to tune in to New Dawn FM. But we will keep you informed of developments and, who knows, one day we may even be able to offer you a live feed of our programs.

Like New dawn FM itself, this site will gradually develop over the coming weeks and months. Bear with us during this initial phase and return occasionally to check on how we're doing.

We'd also like to receive your comments.

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !
The European Shareholders of Bougainville Copper (ESBC) like to congratulate you to the founding of your new radio station. We are convinced that it will help to improve the image of Bougainville in general. A radio station is the best way to bring news in a short time even to remote areas of the island. On Bougainville such a media can even help to save lives by announcing high tides, earthquakes or other natural phenomena. But the main vocation of radio stations is the distribution of information to the people. In so far a radio station is also an important media in development of democratic awareness. It gives room for discussion and can transport different points of view to the people. Especially in Bougainville that is struggling for independence since a long time, a radio station is the best forum to exchange ideas.
I am sure that the members of the ESBC would like to receive regularly genuine information from the ground in Bougainville. Therefore we would appreciate very much if the program would be distributed by internet as well. Good luck for your interesting and fascinating work!
Axel G. Sturm
President of ESBC

Up-Date des Landowners Proposal mit den aktuellen Rohstoffpreisen + Zeitrahmen zur Umsetzung ;-)))))))))))

Obwohl BCL auch mit den aktuellen Kupfer + Goldpreisen (Silber u. Molybdän sind als "vernachlässigbare Grösse" nicht mal eingerechnet,obwohl sie das Gesamtergebnis um einige Mios nach oben schrauben werden) äusserst profitabel produzieren kann ( beim Auszahlen  einer Dividende von 0,99 AUD/Jahr pro Share wäre ein (angenommener) Kredit von 1,5 Mia AUD in 6 Jahren getilgt.

Nicht zu vergessen dass in diese Berechnung ein um 1 Ct steigender Kupferpreis den Gewinn pro Share zusätzlich um über 1/2 ct erhöhen wird ;-)))))))))))

LANDOWNERS of the lucrative Panguna Mine in central Bougainville have put their hands up to start the process of reconciliation in a bid to reopen the mine, which was once the world biggest.And they want the Autonomous Bougainville Government to honor their commitment by making available much needed funding to Kick start the reconciliation process amongst land owners first.
Land owners and chiefs in the area made this known to a government delegation who visited them in Panguna last week Thursday.ABG vice president Ezekiel Massat led the delegation accompanied by acting chief administrator Patrick Koles, ABG Finance minister Mathias Salas, Chief Planner Leslie Tseraha, reconciliation
steering Committee chairman George Manu and other officials and parliamentarians from the Kieta district.
The delegation went to Panguna to discuss and get the views of the Panguna people especially land owners on high impact projects and reconciliation packages.which the national government has promised to fund this year.
Mr Massat told the gathering that the national government has put Panguna as its first priority and since the ABG has earmarked 2009 as the year of implementation, this is the first step both governments are taking to first get the people of Panguna especially land owners to reconcile and then to establish some form of high impact projects.
Mr Massat said the National Government has announced its commitment in last month’s Joint Supervisory body (JSB) meeting in Moresby.
This as after President James Tanis presented the Panguna resolution at the JSB which the national government has taken up to deal with Panguna as one of its priority issues to deal and address with.
Mr Massat called on the people of Panguna especially the land owners to come together and settle out issues through reconciliation before they can see the real developments in their area.The land owners have come up with a list of reconciliations and high impact projects which is now with the administration of Bougainville that will be finalized and will go before the national executive council in Wabag this week.

THE fighting zone of Mongai village in Buin district, South Bougainville was a breakthrough for the Autonomous Bougainville Government President James Tanis and his delegation who visited the area.
Mr Tanis and his delegation took the risk and went into the area to make their presence known.
The people of Mongai were overwhelmed by the president’s visit and revealed that it was the first time leaders had come to their village.
Mr Tanis, in his speech, told the people of Mongai that he was saddened at the state of their lives and sufferings they had gone through.
He said that his government was committed to restoring peace in the area but the process would take time.
“Peace building is a process which needs special attention and more time before healing can take place,” Mr Tanis said.
He said he would be working together with the National MPs to promote peace and reconciliation in the region.
Mr Tanis told the people to remain calm and not to create anything that would disturb the processes he had established in the area.
“I’m very sorry but I must tell you that you are not alone. As the president, I will do my best to assist with the little I have,” Mr Tanis said.
Member for South Bougainville Steven Pirika Kama told the people that he would stand by the president committing himself wholly to bringing peace into the area.
He urged the chiefs and youths in the area to work together with the authorities on the ground.
Mr Kama said as new Member for South Bougainville at the national level, he was prepared to help in restoring peace in Mongai.

Firearms ‘bad’ for development

THE Australian Government yesterday told Bougainvilleans that for any meaningful development to take shape, the region must be free of all forms of firearms.
Australian Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Affairs, Duncan Kerr, said this when reassuring the Autonomous Bougainville Government President James Tanis that Australia always stood ready to assist Bougainville, especially with the peace process. Mr Kerr also said that political uncertainty on Bougainville caused by the death of president Joseph Kabui was now over with the election of James Tanis as the new President. President Tanis played host to Mr Kerr when the latter made a courtesy call on the president’s office during his one-day
trip to Bougainville yesterday. In congratulating Mr Tanis, Mr Kerr said the international community, the Australian Government and its people stood ready to assist the new Tanis administration where possible.
Mr Kerr said he was pleased and touched by the contents of President Tanis’ inauguration speech on peace settlement, reconciliation and weapons destruction. These are the key issues contained in the Bougainville Peace Agreement – a joint creation of the ABG and the National Government of Papua New Guinea.
“The international community now has a clear picture of where the president (Tanis) is heading and where he intends to lead his people to.”

Aussie govt gives K1m to B’ville centre  
By AUGUSTINE KINNA
THE Australian government and its people continue to maintain a strong partnership with, and provide funds for, Bougainville towards its restorative development.
Australia’s support to Bougainville received a boost on Wednesday with the official visit of Australian parliamentary secretary for Pacific Island affairs Duncan Kerr.
Mr Kerr, visiting the Chabai rehabilitation centre, announced additional funding to service the centre through the work of local identity Sr Lorraine Garasu.
The rehabilitation centre was established in 2001 with the initiative to shelter homeless families and victims of the Bougainville crisis.
The centre provides trauma counselling, awareness campaigns of the effects of drugs and alcohol abuse, and life skills training among other services.
Mr Kerr said the Australian government would provide K1 million to enable the centre to replace buildings made from bush materials with permanent houses, classrooms, a training centre and an administration building.
“This is truly remarkable work being done by a truly remarkable woman,” Mr Kerr said of Sr Garasu.
He said the centre had played a major role in supporting women and children in the wake of Bougainville’s trouble.
Mr Kerr added that the work provided by the centre was a microcosm of the millennium development goals, focusing on key areas such as health and education and gender
“I am very pleased that we can assist Sister Lorraine and her centre,” he said.
Sr Garasu said: “The funding is timely, and I just want to thank the Australian government and its people for their generosity.”
She told the Kerr delegation the centre had been struggling for eight years to provide services.
Sr Garasu said the centre could now deliver services more efficiently.
She said there was nothing the people of Bougainville could do but to say thanks.
She assured Mr Kerr that, with the funding, the centre would go a long way in helping mothers, children, youths and other victims of the Bougainville crisis.
