Stressing the project's significance to the nation's economy, Maladina affirmed the commitment of partners, including TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil, Santos, JX Nippon, and Kumul Petroleum, to effectively manage global setbacks.</p><p>Former Prime Minister Peter O’Neill raised concerns about potential spending reductions or halts on the Papua LNG Project, citing information from local and international sources. O’Neill noted that TotalEnergies did not include the project in its list of expected final investment decisions for 2024, as per the annual investor seminar.</p><p>Responding to these concerns, Maladina urged leaders not to undermine the country's partners, emphasizing that the decision to review the gas agreement in 2019 was a due diligence exercise to ensure transparency in the transfer of Papua LNG resources to TotalEnergies.</p><p>In a report by Jubilee Australia, French bank Credit Agricole CIB, the financial adviser for the Papua LNG project, reportedly stated that it would not fund the project. The report called on global financiers to reject funding for Papua LNG, asserting that the project would have adverse effects on climate, biodiversity, and human rights.</p><p>Maladina dismissed these claims, citing TotalEnergies' Vice President for Asia Pacific, Thomas Maurisse, who reassured him that funding is on track and should not be a problem. Despite external concerns, TotalEnergies remains committed to advancing the Papua LNG project in collaboration with its partners.</p><p>Next : <a class="entry-title-link" href="https://mine.onepng.com/2024/02/k92-mining-anticipates-record-breaking.html" rel="bookmark" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline !important; font-family: "Roboto Condensed", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;" title="K92 Mining Anticipates Record-Breaking Year in 2024 with Expansive Plans for Kainantu Mine">K92 Mining Anticipates Record-Breaking Year in 2024 with Expansive Plans for Kainantu Mine</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943531442585604253.post-90262325626507044052024-02-07T02:24:00.000-08:002024-02-07T02:24:02.441-08:00K92 Mining Anticipates Record-Breaking Year in 2024 with Expansive Plans for Kainantu Mine<p>John Lewins, the Chief Executive Officer of K92 Mining Incorporation Limited, declared that 2024 is poised to be a landmark year for the company and its Kainantu mine in Papua New Guinea.

Other key contributors to this milestone are operational efficiency, meticulous cost management, and the seamless shipment of copper to buyers without interruptions.</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcf5IEVBZCpow2H53OPsPpJiAxELDY_bSmj4nG8Cydt36wlWZr9X81c-UNCzZnfKr4IRBFETuIT1qXwoqFmDHYH5PFfCeiBlelgI740ItU5MW7B6zH84yo_0Tsk1UILMWlXIzjq0qdIn9B7bhM_VgRk4hwFBocloK51j5j3WBoNfs2QZWSvI5w3Vs3fGyc/s718/PNG%20OK%20TEDI%20MINE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="718" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcf5IEVBZCpow2H53OPsPpJiAxELDY_bSmj4nG8Cydt36wlWZr9X81c-UNCzZnfKr4IRBFETuIT1qXwoqFmDHYH5PFfCeiBlelgI740ItU5MW7B6zH84yo_0Tsk1UILMWlXIzjq0qdIn9B7bhM_VgRk4hwFBocloK51j5j3WBoNfs2QZWSvI5w3Vs3fGyc/w640-h428/PNG%20OK%20TEDI%20MINE.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Record-Breaking Revenue Achieved by PNG's OK Tedi Mining Limited in December 2023 [Photo by OTML]</td></tr></tbody></table><br />During December, OTML produced a substantial 45,000 dry metric tons (Kdmt) of Copper Concentrate, resulting in sales of USD$107 million (K398 million). Gold contributed USD$75 million (K278 million), and Silver added USD$2.4 million (K8.9 million) to the overall revenue.</p><p>Kedi Ilimbit, OTML's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, expressed satisfaction with the outstanding performance. He highlighted the positive impact of productivity improvements across the entire production chain, from mining to processing plants and port operations. Improved uptime and reliability in crushing and processing plants, coupled with operational efficiencies in the mine, led to the processing of higher-quality ore throughout the month.</p><p>Mr. Ilimbit emphasized the collaborative efforts of support functions, including supply, logistics, and power systems, which synchronized seamlessly with the production team. The Dry Weather Incident Management Team (IMT) played a crucial role in implementing effective cost controls, such as fuel conservation, contractor management, and the rationalization of critical supplies.</p><p>This remarkable financial outcome, according to Mr. Ilimbit, underscores the success of the 'restore, reset, and reinvigorate' strategy implemented in 2023 to overhaul the business. He stated, “We are continuously looking at transformational strategies to improve overall production efficiency whilst being cost-effective."</p><p>OTML continues to fulfill its environmental, legal, and social obligations, maintaining positive relationships with mine-impacted communities that grant the company the social license to operate.</p><p>In a move to reward shareholders, OTML recently declared a final dividend of K350 million, bringing the total dividend for 2023 to K450 million, complementing the initial interim dividend payment of K100 million earlier in the year.</p><p>With the Board's approval for the Mine Life Extension up to 2050, OTML anticipates sustainable growth well into the future. The company is actively pursuing strategic growth projects aligned with the current Strategic Business Plan, expected to generate an impressive K30 billion (US$8 billion) in social benefits over the next 27 years. These benefits include taxes, royalties, and dividend payments, further solidifying OTML's commitment to its shareholders and Papua New Guinea.</p><p>Also read</p><p><a class="entry-title-link" href="https://mine.onepng.com/2024/01/vice-minister-affirms-png-governments.html" rel="bookmark" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; font-family: "Roboto Condensed", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Vice-Minister Affirms PNG Government's Stance on Porgera Gold Mine Agreements">Vice-Minister Affirms PNG Government's Stance on Porgera Gold Mine Agreements</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943531442585604253.post-48719053645777448772024-01-03T18:23:00.000-08:002024-01-03T18:23:44.882-08:00Vice-Minister Affirms PNG Government's Stance on Porgera Gold Mine Agreements<p> Jimmy Maladina, the vice-minister assisting the Prime Minister, reaffirmed the Papua New Guinea Government's commitment to the recently negotiated agreements regarding the reopening of the Porgera gold mine. His remarks came in response to statements made by Kompiam-Ambum MP Sir John Pundari last week, scrutinizing various aspects of the agreements.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6PwKQqxDZDMJTG5Uaz_72Tro3ifmtns5W1ti3YGIXGcPXqArzYgOua0ESto2weLBvBhAMI7FsUqPPRQ2b0HCUWpbn4DYTldC2N3nEXBKMJLKYWfWHIqp_3xAKeLCQrI_7vZ1xxLNbGbh/s640/mining+news.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6PwKQqxDZDMJTG5Uaz_72Tro3ifmtns5W1ti3YGIXGcPXqArzYgOua0ESto2weLBvBhAMI7FsUqPPRQ2b0HCUWpbn4DYTldC2N3nEXBKMJLKYWfWHIqp_3xAKeLCQrI_7vZ1xxLNbGbh/s16000/mining+news.jpg" /></a></div><br />Maladina addressed Pundari's concerns about the cost implications, commercial terms, debt financing, and the realization of dividends and tax revenue arising from the Porgera project. He emphasized the thoroughness of the negotiations, dating back to June 2021, when a consultative meeting in Wabag outlined the benefits contained within the Porgera project framework agreement.<p></p><p>Highlighting the timeline, Maladina noted that it took approximately two-and-a-half years to finalize the mining development contract in December 2023 following the initial discussions in 2021. He clarified that despite the duration, subsequent agreements, including shareholder and operator agreements, have consistently reinforced and affirmed the benefits outlined in the 2021 agreement.</p><p>Explaining the financial aspects, Maladina shed light on Barrick's agreement to lend the PNG shareholders their 51% share of the cost without interest. This agreement allows for repayment from cash generated by the mine's operation. He stressed that this arrangement averted the necessity for Kumul, the Enga government, and landowners to seek loans from financial institutions, avoiding high-interest rates of up to 15%.</p><p>"The loan facilitated by Barrick for the mine's restart prevented additional financial burdens and interest repayments for Kumul, the Enga government, and landowners, ensuring dividends are not consumed by loan repayments," Maladina stated.</p><p>His comments aimed to provide clarity amidst discussions surrounding the Porgera agreements, underlining the careful considerations and financial arrangements designed to safeguard the interests of stakeholders involved in the revitalization of the gold mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next : <a class="entry-title-link" href="https://mine.onepng.com/2024/01/delays-plague-papua-new-guineas-wafi.html" rel="bookmark" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline !important; font-family: "Roboto Condensed", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Delays Plague Papua New Guinea's Wafi Golpu Project Amidst Landowner Disputes and Legal Battles">Delays Plague Papua New Guinea's Wafi Golpu Project Amidst Landowner Disputes and Legal Battles</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943531442585604253.post-6384210140254506552024-01-03T18:17:00.000-08:002024-01-03T18:17:27.875-08:00Delays Plague Papua New Guinea's Wafi Golpu Project Amidst Landowner Disputes and Legal Battles<p> Ongoing landowner disputes and prolonged court battles have cast yet another shadow over Papua New Guinea Morobe's ambitious K18.5 billion Wafi Golpu gold/copper project, pushing its development into another year.</p><p>At the end of last month, the PNG national court granted the State permission to resume negotiations, lifting restraining orders initiated by a landowner party. However, disagreements persist as Morobe Governor Luther Wenge and Bulolo district MPs emphasize the necessity to resolve all landowner issues before project progression, while the State presses for urgent development.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP2wesSIXp28L3n28sBXDkjmpEoqka0KFb1CrBFXpHDB335uE2xTyzmkzNQKbnzVORG_bMm_qceEBSGE8Baz8x_hP_xGjHwNszRt_GMCJ7YQyGtzIAvX-jilNwANeyayouSRLwUeEBEoN7_seXif7jSQJnoBALb_hw6Wu5rJk3287IVNSr9psEOxm7OQ/s800/Wenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP2wesSIXp28L3n28sBXDkjmpEoqka0KFb1CrBFXpHDB335uE2xTyzmkzNQKbnzVORG_bMm_qceEBSGE8Baz8x_hP_xGjHwNszRt_GMCJ7YQyGtzIAvX-jilNwANeyayouSRLwUeEBEoN7_seXif7jSQJnoBALb_hw6Wu5rJk3287IVNSr9psEOxm7OQ/s16000/Wenge.jpg" /></a></div><br />During a September consultation with landowners, the State, led by the Mining Minister and Prime Minister, sought cooperation to expedite negotiations and secure Special Mining Lease 10 by October. Discussions highlighted the considerable costs associated with an underground mine, stressing the need for sophisticated equipment and techniques that could only be provided by a major mining entity like Newcrest.<p></p><p>The project's anticipated economic boost prompted the government's urgency, running development forum consultations parallel to Porgera's in September. Local media reported positive negotiations favoring the country, with a total benefit sharing agreement surpassing 60%, encompassing taxes, royalties, equity, and additional environmental fees.</p><p>Key milestones in the past year included the April signing of the framework agreement, release of the Infrastructure Development Grant to Morobe, forum consultations, and Newmont Corporation's acquisition of Newcrest Limited as Wafi-Golpu's joint-venture partner.</p><p>Despite high hopes riding on Wafi Golpu's benefits, pending announcements of key principles and SML10 have left Morobe in a state of anticipation. The province's fiscal plans hinge on this project, leading to the creation of non-operational business arms and stalled trust accounts amidst calls for development.</p><p>The delay in Wafi Golpu mirrors other stagnant projects like the K412 million Lae Port Extension and the idle K105 million Coastal Fisheries Hub launched in Vocopoint by the National Fisheries Authority in 2022. Additionally, the envisioned new township at Nadzab and the relocation of the administrative capital remain slow-moving endeavors.</p><p>Legacy issues have hindered Morobe's social sectors, with struggling education, a healthcare system teetering on collapse, and a challenged Law and Order and Justice Sector. Despite financial assistance, manpower shortages, rundown facilities, and limited resources persist.</p><p>However, amid setbacks, local companies like International Container Terminal Services Inc, Lae Biscuit, Paradise Biscuit, and Goodman Fielders have shown growth, signaling a promising future for Morobe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next : <a class="entry-title-link" href="https://mine.onepng.com/2024/01/pngs-ok-tedi-mine-surpassed-its-annual.html" rel="bookmark" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255);

But if by some chance it is operating in 2024, four years after closing, and if the reopening costs do not blow out and if gold prices hold high, then revenues will start to be earned by our country in 2034 – 14 years after James Marape suddenly ripped the carpet out from underneath the economy by closing Porgera.</p><p>“We will again see revenues start to be earned.
