Post- Courier News Monday 29th November, 2010 Panguna gets the nod
By GORETHY KENNETH
“A MAJOR step to Bougainville’s economic recovery has unfolded. Panguna landowners now want the mine to open but on their terms. About 100 representatives from the six Panguna mine lease affected areas met in Buka for two days at the Kuri Village Resort to start the official negotiation process to review the Bougainville Copper Agreement. They said for the first time in six years all six mine lease holders had met, thanks to the effort by Minister for Bougainville Affairs Fidelis Semoso who financed and brought all of them together to meet on these issues. The six lease areas are Siokate, Port lease, Port Mine Access Road lease, special mining lease, Upper Tailings and Lower Tailings. Resolutions were passed and presented to Mr Semoso for further action. “Reopening of the Panguna Mine - as a combined group and with difference to the rest of the people of Bougainville, we the six Panguna mine affected landowner associations (PMALA) through our proposed umbrella landowner executive are of the firm position that the following must be resolved to our satisfaction prior to any re-opening and return to mining in Panguna.” * BCL take into account terms and conditions of the PMALA during the BCA review, * PMALA must be included as an equitable partner in all aspects of the BCA review proc0ess, especially as they relate to social and environmental issues, * Appropriate technical advisory support and funding must be provided to the PMALA during the course of the BCA review process, * Sufficient funding must be provided to carry out comprehensive island-wide awareness by teams representing all parties, including the National Government, * BCL must provide analysis and assessment of the magnitude of all affected areas but in particular the ongoing social and environmental impact on the lower tailings and, * A more robust and expansive consultative briefings on the ground by ABG Mining Department as well as relevant National authorities in this sector in terms of PMALA concerns and interests. "Any statement relating to the future of the Panguna Mine must respect the views and concerns of the people within the PMALA areas. “We reiterate that PMALA is a critical party to the BCA review and as a recognition to this position, the associations must be, properly and thoroughly briefed of all preparations leading to the commencement of the review and on all stages of the review after it commences." Initially the Lower Tailings, those badly affected by the mine closure, destruction and environmental, social damage gave their recommendation that they do not want any other companies to come and mine except BCL. Mr Semoso was labelled a hero for uniting all six mining lease areas and for moving the negotiations forward. The mine affected landowners associations were given two months to sort themselves out and an estimated timeframe of December 2011- the mine operation should officially begin if all goes well. |
