C. RUMOURS OF EVICTION AND THE
OPM’S INVOLVEMENT
Into this potent brew came an Australian mining company
that made clear it would play by the rules and undertake
exploration that complied with all existing laws. It walked
directly into the minefield laid by the illegal operators and​

protected by the police and became mixed up in a family
feud as well. One of the entrepreneurs running an illegal

mining operation in Degeuwo was Haji Muhammad Ari,
a Bugis who had started work in 2004. He brought in his
younger brother, Dasril, who eventually set up a legal company
called PT Madinah Qurrata’ain.88 In 2009, the Paniai
government gave the company a permit to mine for gold
over a 40-hectare area that included Location 81. Haji Ari
initially had no problem with his brother’s company. But
when in 2009, it joined with the London-based Mercator
Gold in a share offer which was taken up by a Melbourne based
company, West Wits Australia, it spurred fears that​

illegal miners would be forced out.
