Bougainville Copper Limited is pleased to have accepted an invitation to join Bougainville’s Bel Kol Events Committee.
The Committee is responsible for the organisation of the Bel Kol ceremony. This event will be an adaptation of the traditional practice in which parties hold a ceremony to begin a process of negotiations to restore relationships.
BCL had requested to be included as part of the Committee and was subsequently invited to participate in preparations for the ceremony.
The Committee had recently closed out a phase of internal negotiations between stakeholders in central Bougainville.
With local alignment strengthened, the Committee moved focus to concentrate on preparations for the event itself and this was another factor in the timing of the invitation for BCL’s participation.
In December 2014, BCL joined a broad representation of Kieta and Panguna stakeholders and the Autonomous Bougainville Government as members of the committee.
Despite uncertainty surrounding legal tenure over its mining leases on Bougainville, BCL remains committed to the process of Bel Kol and to the deliberations of the Joint Panguna Negotiation Coordination Committee.
With more regular visits to central Bougainville, BCL will now progress fact finding with urgency to ensure the company has fulfilled its requirements for participation in the Bel Kol ceremony by mid-2015.
BCL wants to ensure there are broadly shared expectations and support for the Bel Kol ceremony. This will be achieved through discussions and interviews with a range of local stakeholders, as guided by the Events Committee.
Background by John Momis From the Presentation given at the Australia Papua New Guinea Business Forum in Cairns on May 20, 2014
Let me begin by answering a key question: why would the ABG consider re- opening the very mine that was at the heart of the worst conflict ever to occur amongst Pacific islanders?
There are many factors involved. But the central issues concern the unique political pressures facing the ABG because of the combination of the timetable for the referendum and our lack of a sustainable revenue base. We have strictly limited time in which to get real autonomy working, and before people are faced with a choice about independence. It is that limited time that requires us to focus on exploring the possibility of re-opening Panguna, for all being well, that could occur in the early 2020s, and the ABG would be in receipt of substantial taxation revenues during the projected three year construction period.
I also must make another fundamental point. It relates to the point I have already made about the vital importance of participation by Bougainvilleans in making decisions about the economy.
The ABG’s approach to the reopening of Panguna has been driven, and will continue to be driven, by the wishes of Panguna-affected landowners and the people of Bougainville. I have stated publicly on many occasions that the mine will only re-open if the Panguna lease landowners agree.
So let me outline some of the main things we have been doing to consult landowners and other Bougainvilleans, and to prepare for possible negotiations about the future of the mine. These things have been done slowly, deliberately, and carefully. We have no intention of rushing into making decisions about re- opening the mine. Rather, we are first ensuring that mine lease area landowners are organised in such a way as to be fully involved in every step of the process.
The ABG started to consult with customary landowners about their views on reopening the mine in 2009. Large meetings were held in each lease area in March and July 2010. These meetings established that most landowners were open to the possibility of the Panguna mine re-opening, if certain conditions are met.
Landowners said that problems caused by past mining must be resolved; that new and fair conditions must be applied to any future mining; that landowners must participate fully at all stages of development; and that landowners for different lease areas wanted to have their own representative associations to make sure their specific concerns are adequately addressed.
So from mid-2010, the ABG worked closely with the landowners from the mine lease areas to establish associations to represent their views. There are now nine separate associations. This has been very slow work, but absolutely essential if the landowners’ voices are to be truly heard.
In 2012 and 2013 the ABG organised Regional Forums throughout Bougainville to provide information and solicit the views of stakeholder groups and the Bougainville general public on mining related issues.
The Forums indicated support for reopening Panguna, as long as this could be done in a way that is fair and just and contributes to the welfare, security and wellbeing of the Bougainvilleans.
The ABG also undertook two forums and numerous smaller meetings to engage with ex-combatants, and in late March 2014 held a Bougainville Women’s Mining Forum in Buka attended by over 200 women representatives from all over Bougainville.
Women reiterated the view expressed in other forums that the ABG should consider reopening of Panguna, but only if this can be done in a way that addresses issues from earlier mining and the conflict it created, and if the benefits of any new project are allocated in a way that is fair to Bougainvilleans.
Some critics have said these Forums were staged events, attended only by selected people who the ABG knew supported mining. Nothing could be further from the truth. Invitations went to the widest possible range of organisations. They were asked to select their own representatives. The Forums were open to any who wished to attend. The ABG did not control the agenda or the discussion. So the Forums have provided a very good indication of the views of the community leaders and other opinion leaders of Bougainville.
Against this background of extensive consultations and general support in Bougainville for the reopening of Panguna if stringent conditions can be met, the ABG has undertaken a great deal of work to ensure that customary landowners and the ABG itself are well prepared for negotiations regarding the future of the mine.
Let’s be clear: the ABG is not assuming that the mine will reopen or that, if it is, Bougainville Copper Ltd (BCL)/Rio Tinto will be the operator. Panguna will only reopen if the proposed project and its operator are able to deliver sustainable social and economic benefits for customary landowners and all of Bougainville, and can do so in a way that avoids creating further conflict.
Some critics have attacked the ABG for being willing to even negotiate with BCL. I have been accused of being too close to BCL, of ‘selling out’. In fact, as many of you know, from the late 1960s I was a consistent critic of BCL, and have certainly not become beholden to BCL since becoming Bougainville’s President in 2010. Indeed, I was initially seeking other possible developers for Panguna. But we have two main reasons for now engaging with BCL.
First, the leaders of the landowners from the mine lease areas have consistently indicated that they prefer to deal with BCL rather than a new potential operator. They talk of preferring the ‘devil they know, and not a new devil’. In large part they mean that they acknowledge that BCL both accepts that it played a role in what went wrong at Panguna and is prepared to contribute to finding workable solutions. They fear that a new developer may not have the same attitude. They also acknowledge, quite openly, that BCL did some things very well, especially training of Bougainvilleans. If we are committed to fully involving the landowners, we must listen to them on this issue. Second, the ABG accepts that BCL has existing legal rights that cannot simply be ignored.
So, if the negotiations we are preparing for do get underway later this year, as we hope, they will begin with BCL. But if we are unable to reach an acceptable agreement, the ABG and the landowners will seek other potential developers with a proven track record of developing and managing similar large scale but low grade copper and gold deposits.
Authorising the establishment of the nine associations to represent landowners, and the holding of the Forums have been important steps in preparing for negotiations on the future of Panguna. But in addition the ABG has done much else.
We have established:
a Ministerial Committee chaired by the President to provide political direction in the preparation for and conduct of the negotiations;
a Steering Group of senior ABG officials to direct the preparations for negotiations; and
an Office of Panguna Negotiations to undertake the work involved;
We have approved a Negotiation Structure which will ensure input into negotiations by all Bougainvilleans, and specific opportunities for input by key interest groups including landowners, women and ex-combatants;
For well over a year, we have been engaging with BCL and landowners regarding the conduct of a reconciliation ceremony or “Bel Kol”, as the first step towards BCL establishing a presence on Bougainville;
Through the ABG budget we have allocated substantial funding (some K7 million) to these preparations from our own resources, a large amount given the small size of the ABG budget;
We have negotiated with BCL, the Government of Papua New Guineas (GPNG) and development agencies to provide funding for ABG and landowners to participate fully and effectively in negotiations over coming years;
We have taken the lead in establishing a multi-donor trust fund as part of mechanisms intended to ensure that funding for preparations for negotiations, and participation by landowners and the ABG, are provided with no strings attached and managed transparently;
The ABG also took the lead in establishing a ‘Panguna Negotiations Joint Coordination Committee’ (JPNCC) comprised of representatives of the ABG, GPNG, BCL and Landowner Associations. The JPNCC has met regularly since March 2013 and has made significant progress in preparations for possible negotiations on the future of the Panguna mine. Its key role is to coordinate preparation for negotiations, including the conduct of environmental and social baseline studies.
These baseline studies must be conducted regardless of whether Panguna reopens or not, because they will generate critical information needed to address urgent environmental and social issues created by earlier mining and related activities.
The studies will also help ensure that Landowners and the ABG have critically important available to them. That will be needed to negotiate strong and fair agreements with the National Government and BCL or other investors. The information will also ensure that the ABG, BCL and the National Government understand what are the most urgent and important issues for landowners and other people affected by Panguna.
All the baseline studies and the consultants undertaking them will be approved and overseen by the JPNCC, rather than only by the developer, which is normally the case in Papua New Guinea. This too ensures that Bougainvilleans (ABG and landowners representatives) are actively participating in decision- making at all stages.
It also means that the ABG and landowners can together ensure that the baseline studies are carried out to a high technical standard. This increases the likelihood that baseline study results can be accepted by all stakeholders. In pursuit of those goals, the ABG is also organising for independent experts like the United Nations Environment Program to monitor the scope and quality of the studies.
Landowners will also be directly involved in the conduct of the baseline studies, for the consultants will be required to employ and train as many as practicable. In this way significant economic opportunities will be created. It also allows landowners to assure themselves of the quality of the studies.
In terms of future preparations for negotiations regarding Panguna, the ABG hopes that the Bel Kol ceremony can happen in July 2014. BCL will then be able to establish an office in Arawa. Work can then begin to identify and address immediate environmental issues.
The immediate focus will be those arising from contaminants that were not properly disposed of because of BCL’s forced departure from Bougainville. Work will also commence on identifying and addressing the most urgent social needs faced by landowners in the Panguna area. BCL will also be able to commence technical investigations necessary for undertaking its next levels of feasibility studies.
One further point concerning preparations is that for the past 12 months or so, the ABG and the landowner representatives have been identifying, and discussing, the agenda of issues that Bougainvilleans will want addressed when negotiations begin. In addition to key issues such as protection of the environment and a fair economic return to Bougainville, our focus is already on those same issues I mentioned above. In other words, if mining goes ahead, it must provide economic opportunities for as many Bougainvilleans as possible, ensure an equitable spread of economic opportunities, and ensure active participation by Bougainvilleans in decision-making at all stages, including once the mine is operating.
An additional key issue already being considered by the ABG is how best to ensure that a significant part of the funds generated by any future mining is used not just for past compensation and immediate needs, but is instead used to build a diversified and sustainable Bougainville economy.
Through the various steps I have outlined, we have moved gradually to the point where I believe we can soon begin negotiations with BCL. Of course, unlike other mining negotiations elsewhere in PNG, they will not relate solely to future mining operations. They will also deal with how best to respond to environmental damage caused by past mining, and also with other significant ‘legacy’ issues.
The negotiations will take time, particularly because of time expected to be needed to conduct baseline and other technical studies. While we hope for a successful outcome, we will be ready to negotiate with other highly reputable miners if an agreement cannot be reached with BCL.
Ultimately, while we hope for success, we cannot even assume that Panguna will prove a viable project for re-opening. It is for that reason that I have made it clear that the ABG will be identifying other prospective areas, where landowners are open to exploration and mining. Exploration may then be permitted in a limited number of such areas. Of course, ‘green-field’ exploration projects are a different proposition from re-opening the already proven resource at Panguna. It’s likely that if minerals are found, it would be at least 15 years from exploration to beginning of production.

Special Bougainville Correspondent | ACT NOW!
On the 28th of November 2014 president John Momis and his delegation made a rare visit to Panguna for the launching community projects in the area. A piggery project, bridge constructed by Onove youths under the leadership of Mr Wency Toreau of the Bakerang clan, and a brick making project for Ioro people.
Firstly, a small ‘Tunsi Dare’ reconciliation ceremony was held at the local Ioro 2 C.O.E office before the President proceeded on with opening of the different projects at the site.
The ceremony turned sour at the end when the Mining minister was threatened by ex-combatants. Mr Toreau, man who headed the bridge construction team has decided to remove the bridge after hearing that funds allocated by the regional member for the bridge construction; was however diverted by a middleman to hire vehicles for the very important people from Buka to Panguna.
The North Nasioi constituency member to ABG confessed he ended up at the event after partying the whole night at Buka’s Kenny’s Hall. On the other hand President Momis came out very clear trying to make Bougainville Copper Limited look good in the eyes of the people. These are the people whom in the research “Bougainville Voices” said they oppose the mining. Even before the ceremony people from areas where the research did not cover reminded the leaders in the traditional singsing or Toro-toro that they do not want to hear their government talk about mining. All wrapping up the people’s stance against reopening was the executive Manager Mr Otto Noruka who said and quoted
“Panguna people together with the administration will thoroughly screen all the funded projects and programs from ABG and the National government before it is implemented. The common aim for the stance is to avoid confusion the can divide people in the district.”
It is now clear that the call for mining in Bougainville is ABG’s agenda and not the people. This is something the government and Momis have tried to cover up for the last 4 years. There is no way Momis will deny it now. The question now is what is the basis for all the criticisms and denial against his people’s voices?

THE Acting Electoral Commissioner for Bougainville, George Manu, has announced the appointment of Joseph Kaipu as the ABG Political Parties Registrar.
Mr Manu said the appointment was done by the Bougainville Executive Council yesterday, Thursday, January 15, 2015.
Mr Kaipu’s role will be to coordinate the registration of political parties that will be endorsing candidates during this year’s ABG General Election.
The Acting Electoral Commissioner said Mr Kaipu will officially assume his new position on Monday next week.
Meanwhile, Mr Manu has clarified reports on the late appointment of the political parties’ registrar, saying there were processes to be followed before an appointment is made.
Last week New Dawn FM reported the outgoing CEO for Peace Division, NICK PENIAI said that there will be no Political Parties this election because the ABG had failed to set up the office for the Registrar of Political parties.

Global union alerts Bougainville about Rio Tinto
by ramunickel
rio tinto
Radio New Zealand
A global union representing mineworkers is taking its campaign against the mining company Rio Tinto to Bougainville by trying to alert people there to what it calls the bad behaviour of the international firm.
Rio Tinto has not ruled out returning to mine on Bougainville through its controlling stake in Bougainville Copper.
Adam Lee of IndustriALL Global Union, which represents 50 million workers around the world, says Rio Tinto has an atrocious record on safety and the environment which the union highlighted in its report "The Ugly Truth about Rio Tinto" last year.
Mr Lee spoke to Sally Round.
ADAM LEE: The information first and foremost, that we received, is from our members in the mines and the smelters working for Rio Tinto. And what we hear again and again from our affiliates around the world, is that this company is incredibly aggressive, it's anti-union, it's anti-worker. It doesn't respect workers, it doesn't respect their collective agreements or their unions. We hear that this is a company that doesn't have any respect for worker safety. There's an atrocious record of death at work sites around the world that continues.
SALLY ROUND: A recent survey of Bougainville communities, showed there was opposition to the reopening of the mine. So perhaps they don't need your help.
AL: We are actually coming at this as sort of an outside observer, let's say or an outside provider of information. As we've stated publicly, we're not advocating that the people of Bougainville or PNG support reopening or don't support reopening. Our concern is just that the discussions we have seen in the media, have mostly not focused on how Rio Tinto continues to behave around the world. And that's the kind of information, that we are trying to make sure that the people of PNG and the people of Bougainville are aware of. Because we feel like for them to make an informed decision, it's critical that they don't only hear the propaganda. We feel like they need to hear about what these companies are actually doing around the world to this day. If they do want to welcome this company back in, that's there decision. But they should do that from a point of having good information.
SR: The situation has changed in Bougainville recently, with new mining laws, giving ownership of resources to landowners for the first time. What has Rio Tinto's record been like, in terms of dealing with indigenous communities?
AL: This has come up a number of times in recent attempts by Rio Tinto, to develop new mines. One example that's really current is in Arizona USA. A development called resolution copper. Where Native American groups across the country are pretty united in opposing the development of a huge copper mine, in an area that a number of Native American tribes consider sacred and have long considered sacred, and the US government has recognised as protected areas for many years. That Rio Tinto has pursued changes in the legislative process to enable it to get the permits required to mine in the area. Without have to go through some of the environmental reviews and without allowing the community, including indigenous communities, to really have a strong voice in the process. So that's a rather shocking case from 2015. You know, it's really running rough shod over indigenous people in the USA, to short circuit the regulatory process and develop a mine in a location that's considered sacred.

The Bougainville Mining Act expected to be passed in March this year by the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) is already generating interests for mining activities in other parts of Bougainville.
One such group is the Taonita/Tinputz landowners who met with the Acting President of Bougainville Patrick Nisira recently to express their interest to do mining in the area.
Representatives of the Motaha, Nakaripa, Amara, Nakas and Mopiopio clans informed the ABG that because of their interest to boost the economy of Bougainville and fast track development in the region, they were willing to work with the Autonomous government to allow for mining in the area.
A resolution signed yesterday by the Clans and the ABG resolved that:
The Expression of Interests (EOIs) expressed by the five major clan of Motaha, Nakaripa, Amara, Nakas and Mopiopio in support of ABG through mining be endorsed by the ABG.
After the passing of the Bougainville Mining Act, the ABG to provide necessary required support to clans within the Tinputs and Wakunai interest areas for the purpose of creating a conducive environment for progressing the EOIs and
The represented five major clans request that the ABG lift the current moratorium within the Tinputz, Wakunai, Kunua and Suir areas.
Bougainville Acting President Patrick Nisira said he is very pleased with the interest shown by the Tinputz/ Taonita landowners. He said their expression of interest gives the ABG options to look at alternative mines to gather revenue for developing the region while continuing negotiations on resolving the issues of Panguna Mine.
“We are spending so much money in dealing with the issues of Panguna Mine, it is time we start considering other options,” he said.
