I don't suppose that RTG will issue a release with this extract from the February 2018 Bougainville Strategic Plan -
"Under the Bougainville Mining Act 2015 Bougainville
Copper Limited’s (BCL) previous licences were cancelled.
The company was given an exploration licence for the
former mining licence.
Securing certainty about the ownership and governance
structure of BCL is a high priority.
The government will work with the landowners and BCL
to restart mining in the Panguna area. Rehabilitation of
previous environmental damage is a critical factor in any
decision to reopening mining near Panguna".
Just by the way, what exactly were/are RTG proposing to do in relation to "rehabilitation of previous environmental damage" ? I would have thought that this might have been front of mind for RTG partner P. Miriori, given his involvement in the conflict following the mine closure and his numerous comments regarding the perceived environmental crimes of BCL. Maybe I missed the stock exchange release on this ...
