Ok Tedi reports that its subsidiary Misima Minerals Limited met government representatives, landowners and other stakeholders in Alotau to discuss the proposed mine. Topics included camp and road works, drilling, feasibility, environmental and social assessments, and the mining lease process.

The company’s account includes Narian leader Elijah Gwama’s emphasis on community concerns and participation. This is the operator’s published account of the meeting; it does not establish that every community endorses the project.
