Mining activities to begin on B’ville

By PETERSON TSERAHA

THE Autonomous Bougainville Government has made history by moving a motion on the most sensitive issue on Bougainville Mining Exploration.
The motion is a positive step since its installment in 2005 for a young government.
On Thursday, before a packed House of Representatives at in Buka, Melchior Dare, Member for Eivo Torau Constituency and chairman of Central Bougainville Parliamentary Committee, presented a motion from the floor to introduce Bougainville Mining Policy to start exploration on Bougainville. A right that every Bougainvillean has been waiting for and have fought the Bougainville crisis for.
The motion calls on the Autonomous Bougainville Government to: nCreate a Bougainville Mining Oil & Gas policy that should protect the interests of the Autonomous Bougainville Government, Landowner Rights and Investors; nGrant the local resource owners’ company the licence to do mineral, oil & gas exploration on its own land, and; nThat the Bougainville Administration consider the draft mining oil and gas policy during 2012.
In a rousing 45-minute presentation to the House, Mr Dare explained that under section 4(b) of the Bougainville Peace Agreement “Autonomy” is intended to enable Bougainville to determine its own solutions to its own problems and needs and now was the time to act to resume mining exploration on the island.
He told the House that while the move to resume exploration on Bougainville was a grassroots movement tdriven by the resource owners themselves, the Government had a duty to fulfil its function as the regulator of mining on Bougainville.
He stated that the ownership of mineral resources is usually claimed by the State or the Crown, and in the case of Bougainville the customary traditional landowners own the minerals which is protected by section 23 of the Bougainville constitution and recognised by Article 26 of the United Nations Convention.

http://bougainville.typepad.co…eed-to-work-together.html

By Aloysius Laukai

The
three stakeholders in the Panguna Mine issue last week agreed to work
together towards consensus on re-opening the mine closed since 1989.

This was revealed by ABG President Chief JOHN MOMIS in Buka today.

He
said that last week’s meeting agreed that if the mine does re-open it
must be primarily for the benefit of all Bougainvilleans.

Also it
must be entirely under a new mining agreement that must ensure that the
world’s best practices are followed by whoever is selected as the new
operator.

President Chief JOHN MOMIS said that BCL and the Papua
New Guinea Government have already agreed that any Panguna negotiations
must involve the ABG and the landowners.

He said that last week’s
meeting also agreed that negotiations must be based on principles of
fairness, integrity and transparency.

Chief JOHN MOMIS also said
that the landowners also agreed that because of the suffering during the
Bougainville conflict all Bougainvilleans interest must be taken into
account in all negotiations.

LANDOWNERS ASSURE BOUGAINVILLEANS
By Aloysius Laukai

Panguna
landowners have assured Bougainvilleans that this time they would make
sure that all Bougainvilleans benefit from the PANGUNA MINE if
re-opened.
This was revealed by the ABG President Chief JOHN MOMIS in a news conference yesterday.
Chief
MOMIS said that the Chairman of the Panguna Landowners Association
CHRIS DAMANA made the assurance at the meeting last week between the
landowners the ABG and a representative of BCL PAUL COLEMAN.
MR. MOMIS said that he was happy the landowners have made this assurance to the people.
He said despite this assurance the ABG represents all Bougainvilleans in any of its dealings.
Ends

http://bougainville.typepad.co…ns-that-this-time-th.html

What we want is downside protection on the price. This impatience
on the part of ABG president and Panguna Landowners provides that.
Peter
O'Neill's party is the leading party with 14 MPs at this time. The next
highest party is Michael Somare's National Alliance with about 7
leading then THE with about 6. So Peter is very likely to be the new PM.
He will support BCL.
I expect the PNG Govt to
be formed on about Tues Jul 31 or a week later. The JSB meeting will
probably be held within 3 weeks of the new Govt formation.
A
good outcome will act as a fuel for the price which will progressively
move up as BCL moves in on Panguna and a New BCA is signed.
Best wishes,

Der Prozess gewinnt an Dynamik. Die Wiedereröffnung der Pangunamine
könnte sich viel schneller konkretisieren als von allen erwartet.
Jetzt könnte die letzte Möglichkeit sein noch "cheap Shares" zu ergattern bevor die grossen Börsenpublikationen aufspringen.

Bougainville Landowners speak out on latest moves with Rio Tinto mine

Updated 19 July 2012, 18:15 AEST

http://www.radioaustralia.net.…al/...o-tinto-mine/983258

Landowners are meeting on Papua New Guinea's island of Bougainville to pave the way for the return of mining giant Rio-Tinto.

Bougainville Landowners speak out on latest moves with Rio Tinto mine (Credit: ABC)

Rio's Panguna copper mine was the spark that ignited a decade-long
civil war which left thousands dead and the economy of the island on its
knees.

Two decades on, there is a growing consensus among landowners about re-opening the mine.

Presenter: Jemima Garrett

Speakers: John Momis, President of the Autonomous Government of Bougainville

Chris Damana, interim chairman of the Panguna Landowners Association

Bernadine Kiraa, Chairwoman of the Panguna Lower Tailings Landowers Association

GARRETT: Reconciliation is now the name of the game between
landowners and Bougainville Copper - the Rio Tinto subsidiary that owns
the Panguna copper mine.

It has been a long hard road.

Landowners have been holding talks among themselves and with the Autonmous Bougainville government for more than 2 years.

Earlier this month, there was something of a breakthrough - a
three-way meeting between landowners, the Autonomous Bougainville
government and Bougainville Copper.

Bernadine Kirra, is Chairwoman of the 3000 strong landowner group
that suffered most during mining - the lower tailings landowners.

KIRAA: The meeting with BCL was a step forward. it was a very good
meeting because we agreed at once some decisions that BCL has to meet
before it decides to come to Bougainville.

GARRETT: And what is thew feeling amongst the women and the other
landowners. do they want to see the mine re-opened, eventually?

KIRAA: Uh, yeah! Most people in mine-affected areas and all of Bougainville, we would very much want BCL to come back.

GARRETT: Why?

KIRAA: To help us with our economical recovery on Bougainville.

GARRETT: Bougainville's President John Momis says the meeting with BCL was very significant.

MOMIS: It was the first time that all the landowners were represented
in the group that talked with us. In the past we had other big meetings
but not all landowner groups were represented. But this time it was
good.

GARRETT: And did the landowner groups include mekamui and some of the
landowner groups that have been hostile to Bougainville copper?

MOMIS: The landowner groups represented all the groups that have been
listed as the legitimate landowners, which includes Mekamui, of course,
yes.

GARRETT: Were you surprised at the broad representation of landowners that turned up for the meeting?

MOMIS: I was not completely surprised. I was very happy because we
had been doing a lot of work, the administration has been doing a lot of
work liaising and talking with the landower groups and insisting that
landowners must come to an agreement to work together.

GARRETT: Bougainville President John Momis.

Landowners took charge of the agenda at the meeting with Bougainville copper.

Chris Damana, Interim Chairman of the key umbrella group, the Panguna
Landowners Association, says the BCL representative aquitted himself
well.

DAMANA: Mr Paul Coleman, during our 13 agendas that we presented,
gave us a positive ..all of them positively answered us. BCL will come
and re-open the mine but need to tidy up a lot of things before they
come and re-open the mine. We all agree that BCL will come back because
they have learned their mistake. We have learned our mistake and, maybe,
we can start on a new slate.

GARRETT: So the landowners want to see the mine re-opened?

DAMANA: Of course we need Panguna mine to re-open, definitely!

GARRETT: Landowners told Bougainville copper that before any more
moves could be made towards formal negotiations for the re-opening of
the mine the company must take part in a reconciliation ceremony and pay
what is known as belcol money.

Respecting tradition is crucial to the success of future talks.

This week, landowners have been holding a series of meetings to draw up some instructions so that BCL gets it right.

DAMANA: We are discussing it now, this morning, in a meeting. we want
to put it in black and white to BCL because as you know BCL will see it
from the Western cultural perspective. we see it from the Melanesian
cultural perspective so we need to explain properly to BCL what this
belcol money is and what will meet our purpose, that BCL will do before
we go into serious talkings with BCL.

GARRETT: Chris Damana, interim Chairman of the umbrella organisation, the Panguna landowners Association.

Landowners are still discussing exactly what the belcol should entail.

Bernadine Kiraa, from the lower tailings landowners association does
not want to pre-empt the outcome, but she is clear on what her people
want.

KIRAA: We really want something that will benefit the whole of
Bougainville but, especially myself, I am really looking for BCL to
build maybe some good schools for a better standard and maybe better
hospitals for Bougainville for a start because we really have a problem
with good standard of education and the health facilities here on
Bougainville at the moment is very low.

GARRETT: If the mining does go ahead, would all of Bougainville benefit or would it only be the landowners from around the mine?

KIRAA: No, No, this time we are looking from a different perspective.
All people of Bougainville should benefit because they have all
suffered due to the landowners conflict so we are looking forward to a
new complete agreement that will benefit all of Bougainville.

Kleine Frage: wer genau ist in der Pflicht, zu zahlen ("Belcol money")
und haben die Geld? Oder besser gesagt, anerkennt Rio Tinto die
Verpflichtung?

"Belcol money" wird laut B`viller Brauch bei den sog. Reconciliations überreicht.
Dafür sind bei BOC Provisionen in der Bilanz vorgesehen.

Zu Miningzeiten hatte Boug. das beste Schul u. Gesundheitssystem im gesamten Umkreis.

Zitat

In July, BCL Management visited Bougainville, and held fruitful talks with landowner
representatives from all the key communities with a direct stake in the Panguna mine.
The exchange of views was positive and constructive, supporting the view of the Autonomous
Bougainville Government President John Momis that the great majority of Bougainvillean’s are in favour of a reâ€start of operations at Panguna. Talks are onâ€going.
The smooth passage of the PNG National election and the formation of a new government headed by Prime Minister Peter O’Neil including many experienced and proâ€development leaders is also seen as positive for the reâ€negotiation of the Bougainville Copper Agreement.
The Bougainville Copper Foundation is facilitating an extension of broadcast radio services to all
points in the region, enabling a new and effective form of communication for the people of
Bougainville.

The Autonomous Bougainville Government is focussed on returning its seat of operations to
Arawa, where services including banking, communications, airport, roads and public health have
been recently upâ€graded.
Within the company, President of Rio Tinto’s international copper operation, Mr Jeanâ€Sebastien
Jacques, has joined the board of Bougainville Copper Limited. The Chairman Mr Peter Taylor
believes that Mr Jacques, who is a senior executive within the Rio Tinto group, will bring
significant expertise and experience to the Board .
Rio Tinto expertise, together with that of outside experts, continues to be applied to the upgraded Order of Magnitude Study defining the parameters of a reâ€started Panguna operation.

Bei der 1 Parlamentssitzung nach den Wahlen am 21 August sollte O`Neill sein Regierungsprogramm vorstellen.

Australian High Commissioner to PNG His Excellency Ian Kemish and Head of AusAID PNG, Ms Stephanie

members of the Me'ekamui at Morgan Junc1on.

Nach
Ian Kemishs Besuch in Panguna und anschliessenden Gesprächen mit Peter
O`Neill in POM letztes Jahr kam es auch Anfang August zu einem Meeting
zwischen den Beiden im Government House in PNG. (Noch vor der
offiziellen Bestätigung O`Neills als PM u. VOR der Vorstellung seines
Kabinetts)

http://www.pngblogs.com/2012/0…-doing-at-government.html

Man kann davon ausgehen dass bei diesem Meeting die Wünsche Australiens
bez. Kabinettsbildung u. der politischen Roadmap der nächsten 5 Jahre
abgeklärt wurden.Das Interesse Australiens an Bougainville und der
Pangunamine wurde mit Ian Kemishs Besuch
eindeutig dokumentiert,da sollte es schon verwundern wenn diese "Issue" nicht auf der Agenda gestanden hätte.

Isolierte
Interviews von ein paar angepissten Meekamuis, welche sich von Momis
Statement zu Morumbi auf den Schlips getreten fühlen sollten daher nicht
überbewertet werden.Letztlich geht es allen nur um $$$$, u. davon gibt
es genug wenn Panguna wiedereröffnet. ;-))))))))

Events of significance to the company have occurred recently.
