    THE second regional forum on Panguna negotiations will be held towards the end
    of this month in Buka.


    The forum, which will be held from February 26 - 27 at the Hutjena Secondary
    School, will be spearheaded by the Office of the Director for Panguna
    Negotiations.


    According to the Director-Panguna Negotiations, Raymond Masono, the aim of this
    forum was to engage and update the various stakeholders and the wider community
    in each region in Bougainville on the progress of preparing the ABG and the
    landowners to participate in the negotiations.


    Participants for this forum will come from Selau/Suir, Kunua, Tinputz and
    Torokina districts.


    One of the purposes of staging this forum is to gauge the views of people in
    these four districts regarding the possible reopening of the Panguna mine.


    Mr Masono said this forum had continued the consultation process with the wider
    community regarding the Panguna mining issue, adding that consultation with the
    mine affected and impacted landowners and other stakeholders like the former
    combatants has already been completed.


    The forum will be officially opened by the President of the Autonomous Region of
    Bougainville Chief Dr John Momis.


    Other invited ABG leaders include the Mining Minister Michael Oni and Minister
    for Education John Tabinaman.


    The forum will be facilitated by officers from the ABG Mining Department,
    Division of Law and Justice and the Office of Panguna Negotiations.


    The first regional forum was held in November last year and was attended by
    various stakeholders from Buka, Nissan and the Atolls districts in North
    Bougainville.


    Many of those that attended the first forum had expressed support for the
    reopening of the mine because it will generate income for Bougainville.

    So langsam scheinen sich alle zu einigen ;-))))))

    140213 PANGUNA PEACE
    By Aloysius Laukai


    The remaining
    faction that continued to be outside of the Bougainville Peace process
    yesterday joined the other two parties to continue with reconciliation
    and peace building in PANGUNA where the Panguna conflict started in
    November 1988 when the first Power Pylon was dynamited by the first
    disgruntled landowners of PANGUNA.
    The Mekamui original group led by
    another hardcore CHRIS UMA yesterday joined the process under the
    PANGUNA PEACE BUILDING PROCESS to be funded by AusAID through the
    STRONGIM PIPOL STRONGIM NATION (SPSN)
    Aus AID will pay a total of ONE
    POINT TWO MILLION KINA whilst the Autonomous Bougainville Government
    would counter-fund with another ONE MILLION KINA.
    This projects take
    the PANGUNA PEACE PROCESS to another level since the ABG and the Mekamui
    unity Government signed the PANGUNA COMMUNIQUE four years ago which led
    to the establishment of the PANGUNA DISTRICT as separate from the KIETA
    District.
    The Australian High Commissioner IAN KEMISH told
    yesterday’s gathering that Australia has a long history with
    Bougainville and the occasion opened another chapter in the relationship
    between Australia and Bougainville.


    The High Commissioner said
    that Australia will continue to assist where ever it can to see
    Bougainville come out off its current problems.


    He said Bougainvilleans need to unite to see Bougainville move forward.


    On
    the future of the Panguna Gold and Copper Mine he said that Australia
    had no say in it and it was up to the people to decide how they would
    like to address it.
    He also questioned the people if they were ready to open the mine.


    Meanwhile
    the President of the Mekamui Unity Government, PHILIP MIRIORI called on
    the people of Panguna to forget their differences and work together to
    change Panguna for the better.
    He said the time was right for the people to unite and work as one people of Panguna.


    The
    chairman of the Panguna Landowners Association, CHRIS DAMANA called on
    the people of Panguna to realize that the only way for BOUGAINVILLE to
    attain REFERENDUM and Independence was through ECONOMIC SELF RELIANCE
    therefore PANGUNA MINE must be opened quickly.


    He said that the people of BOUGAINVILLE needed Panguna to raise the much needed funds for the people and their government.
    MR.
    DAMANA said that if Panguna is not opened Bougainville will not be able
    to raise the funds needed to fulfill one of the three pillars of the
    Peace Process.


    MR DAMANA said that Panguna must be opened in his lifetime.
    The instruments for funding of the PANGUNA PEACE BUILDING Strategy was also signed yesterday.

    As Bougainville puts past problems behind it and


    makes progress towards a peaceful, safe and prosperous future, there


    remains a need to reunite and heal divided communities.


    This is the


    role of the Panguna Peace Building Strategy, a forward-looking


    reconciliation and mediation initiative for Panguna and its surrounds.


    It was set up by the Autonomous Bougainville Government in 2011, the


    Panguna Peace Building Strategy was initiated to help communities turn a


    new page; rise above the factionalism, divisions and suspicions that


    have done so much harm, and learn to trust each other again.


    The


    Autonomous Bougainville Government’s Panguna Peace Building Strategy has


    the backing of the Governments of Papua New Guinea and Australia, with


    AusAID providing K1.28 million to complement the Autonomous Bougainville


    Government’s funding commitment of K1 million.


    A ceremony will be


    held on 12 February 2013 where the Australian High Commissioner to PNG,


    Ian Kemish together with leaders from the Autonomous Region of


    Bougainville and other dignitaries will officially launch the Panguna


    Peace Building Strategy significantly in Panguna where the seven year


    Bougainville Conflict began back in 1987. This groundbreaking event


    heralds a new beginning for the people of Panguna and surrounding areas


    who are keen to reconcile their factional differences and move forward


    to a bright and peaceful future.


    The Ceremony would be held at the Panguna Sports Oval between TEN AM and TWELVE MIDDAY.

    Rio Tinto considers restarting Papua New Guinea copper mine


    Feb 7
    (Reuters) - Rio Tinto is looking into restarting its Panguna mine in
    Papua New Guinea, one of the world's largest sources of copper and gold
    until the company abandoned it a quarter century ago after local
    villagers chased off workers in a secessionist uprising.


    A new
    study by Rio Tinto's majority-owned subsidiary Bougainville Copper Ltd
    says the mine on Bougainville island still contains at least 5 million
    tonnes of copper and 19 million ounces of gold, worth $41 billion and
    $32 billion, respectively, at today's prices.


    Renewed interest in
    the Panguna mine comes as Rio Tinto, which is expected to report a 20
    percent drop in annual profit to around $10 billion on Feb. 14, has
    earmarked a greater focus on its copper and iron ore businesses in the
    coming years.



    Rio Tinto has long-shunned returning to the
    island despite an end to hostilities in 2001 and discussions from time
    to time with the government. In 2005, it sold its stake in another mine
    in Papua New Guinea's Lihir island.


    There has been no exploration
    or mining at Panguna because the site remains off-limit despite the
    formation of an autonomous island government.

    Bougainville President Chief John Momis wants the closed Panguna Copper Mine to reopen.


    Chief Momis said the mine’s reopening will support the Autonomous Bougainville Government with much needed funds, for the delivery of services.


    Momis said the Panguna was a single impact project that can bail out Bougainville from its financial problems.


    This will only happen after a completely new agreement is negotiated with Bougainville Copper Limited and other stakeholders including landowners and National Government.

    191012MOMIS
    SATISFIED
    By Aloysius Laukai


    ABG President Chief JOHN MOMIS is happy at the
    outcome of the JSB meeting held in Rabaul this week.
    Chief Momis
    described the meeting as the
    best JSB meeting the region has had since 2005.
    He was speaking to
    reporters in Buka this morning.
    President MOMIS
    raised many issues discussed at the JSB which among others starts with the
    setting up of the Bougainville Public Service which will go with the Public
    Finance Management Act to manage Bougainville’s funds.
    He said that the
    ABG was also working on
    mining Policy that they hope to pass through the parliament in December or at
    the March session.
    The President also announced a special committee on reopening
    of the Panguna mine which will be headed by RAYMOND MASONO the former Deputy
    Administrator Policy
    .
    On the ONE HUNDRED
    MILLION KINA allocated by the National Government, Chief Momis said that this
    year’s funds have been appropriated by the ABG however next year’s funds will
    specifically for High Impact Projects.
    On the issue of
    Businesses by foreigners, the President said that once laws have been enacted
    no outsider would be allowed to operate canteens and stores that are only for
    Bougainvilleans.

    [size=6] [/size]



    THE Panguna Re-Opening
    Process and Negotiation is considered as a highest priority issue by the
    Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG).



    This was revealed by the
    President of the ABG Dr John Momis in his opening address to the Joint
    Supervisory Body in Kokopo recently.[size=7] [/size]



    [size=7]Dr Momis informed the forum that a full brief by the ABG was to
    have been provided to the JSB to detail administrative actions taken by
    Bougainville authorities and appropriate national government agencies to deal with the Panguna
    Re-Opening Process.
    [/size]



    [size=7]He said that this would be treated as a separate issue from the Fifteen Step Mining, Oil
    and Gas agenda.
    [/size]



    [size=7]Dr Momis further requested that the Panguna Re-Opening Process be
    treated “as a special
    agenda item on all future JSB meetings until the matter is concluded”.
    [/size]



    [size=7]He also informed the JSB forum that the Bougainville government was working on
    legislations specific to the Mining, Oil and Gas industry within the
    region. He said draft instructions have been “approved for a Bill for a transitional ABG
    Mining Act”.
    [/size]



    [size=7]This would ensure that all mining and extractive activities in the
    region relating to mining, oil and gas are governed by a strict set of
    legislations, with stakeholder activities being carefully scrutinized to ensure
    compliance with Bougainville laws.
    [/size]



    [size=7]Dr Momis said that the ABG was wary of operators, particularly
    foreign owned companies who have been operating outside of, and without
    consultation with lawful ABG and PNG authorities.
    [/size]



    [size=7]“This ABG legislation will, hopefully, put a stop to this practice
    in an emphatic way”, Dr Momis said.
    [/size]



    [size=7]Dr Momis expressed satisfaction at renewed interactions of late
    between the ABG and the national government at the senior bureaucratic level,
    particularly with the Department of Works, Mining and the MRA which should ensure “a new level of
    commitment on the part of the National Government towards a greater level of
    cooperation with Bougainville” in all areas.
    [/size]



    [size=7]Dr Momis is Co-Chair of the JSB along with Prime Minister Peter
    O’Neill.
    [/size]

    Die Chancen dass das JSB Meeting am 17 ein voller Erfolg wird stehen bedeutend besser als im März.


    Im
    März war PNG mitten im Wahlkampf,zudem war auch die Staatskrise O`Neill
    / Somare auf ihrem Höhepunkt u. der Veranstaltungsort Arawa ohne
    genügend Unterbringungsmöglichkeiten war extrem schlecht gewählt so dass
    ein canceln des Meetings schon fast vorprogrammiert war.


    In den vergangenen 6 Monaten hat sich die Situation jedoch dramatisch verbessert.


    -Mittlerweile
    sitzt O`Neil fest im Sattel, ist erklärtermassen miningfriendly, hat
    Boug. seiner vollen Unterstützung versichert u. die chronische
    Geldknappheit des ABG durch eine 100 Mill. Kina Ueberweisung
    beendet.Auch der O`Neill/Somare Zwist wurde beigelegt


    -Ein
    permanenter ABG Staff mit Office in POM ist für die zukünftigen JSB
    Meetings bis zur Independance zuständig, beide Delegationen haben zudem
    in Buka das JSB während einer Woche vorbereitet.


    -Nach 23 Jahren
    kam es zwischen BCL u. LO`s zum ersten Arbeitsmeeting in Buka,
    einheimische Mitarbeiter sind mit dem Bau einer BOC Repräsentanz in
    Arawa u. mir Sondierungen in Panguna beschäftigt.


    -Die BCL Leases wurden von O`Neill verlängert.


    -Peter Taylor erklärt beim AGM dass BCL "Ready to Go" ist.


    -Reconciliation zwischen Momis u. LO`s (u. diverse andere Reconciliations)


    -Treffen von Peter O`Neill mit GG Ian Kemish nach dessen "Visit to Panguna..."


    -Die Meekamuis bieten sich an für die Sicherheit in süd Boug. (Buin) zu sorgen


    -Die 4 Boug. MPs erklären zum Wohle der Insel ab jetzt zusammenarbeiten zu wollen.


    -Rio Tinto delegiert Jean-Sebastien JACQUES ihren ausgewiesenen Spezialisten im aufstarten von Coppermines zu BCL.


    -Die Weltbank erklärt die B`viller MRA operationell.


    Wegen
    der JPM& Co Tricksereien wurden alle diese positiven Entwicklungen
    in keinster Weise im Kurs eingepreist, ganz im Gegenteil, seit dem
    kleinen Hype in Erwartung des März JSB verlor BOC ca. 30%.


    Fazit:
    Die Chancen standen in den letzten 25 Jahren noch nie so gut dass beim
    JSB Meeting am 17 Oct DER DURCHBRUCH erreicht wird. ;-))))))))))))

    Mine update, Momis

    By WINTERFORD TOREAS


    THE NATIONAL
    government annual K500 million reconciliation payment to Autonomous
    Bougainville Government (ABG) with the first K100 million given by Prime
    Minister Peter O’Neill paved forward negotiations on the re-opening of
    the Panguna mine which still in progress with many positive achievements
    and changes already taking place.
    ABG President John Momis said
    during the recent ABG Parliamentary sitting this month, much work has
    already been done in preparing the ABG and landowners to negotiate the
    future of the Panguna mine.
    President Momis said 98 percent work on
    the preparation of the initial six landowner associations has already
    been completed, with the Rorovana Association still awaiting its
    certificate of incorporation.
    An interim landowner organisation known
    as the United Panguna Resource Owners Association (UPROA) has also been
    established with the appointment of interim executives comprised of
    executives of the initial six landowner associations, as well as the
    additional three landowner associations that were approved by the
    Bougainville Executive Council (BEC) early this year.
    Mr Momis said
    that a joint delegation comprising of officers from both the ABG and the
    PNG National Government also completed their two weeks scoping mission
    in and around the Panguna mining areas.
    The purpose of this two weeks survey was to determine what was actually in Panguna and
    Apart
    from this studies on the conditions of the people affected and impacted
    by the Panguna mine operations and other kinds of detailed studies
    required were also conducted.


    A
    joint coordination committee will receive the report of the scoping
    mission and then develop and approve terms of references for the
    detailed baseline studies that would be required to be undertaken on
    behalf of the parties to the negotiations.
    He also revealed that
    three regional forums have already been planned for the latter part of
    this year in the three regions of North, Central and South Bougainville.
    The
    aim of this forum is to inform the people of Bougainville on what the
    government is doing regarding negotiations on the possible reopening of
    the Panguna mine.
    It is understood that there are plans to have the
    mine re-opened as soon as possible to support the ABG government’s
    economic development strategy and fiscal self-reliance.

    [Blockierte Grafik: http://www.ariva.de/forum/i/ft.gif]Ein
    überschaubarer Zeitrahmen von 4-6 Wochen,der genaue Termin muss
    lediglich noch mit PM Peter O`Neill abgestimmt werden, aber warum
    eigentlich??? Könnte das ein Hinweis darauf sein dass er persönlich an
    dem JSB Meeting teilnehmen will,ansonsten könnten die "unteren Chargen"
    das Datum doch selbständig festlegen,so wie sie es bis jetzt immer getan
    haben? Oder ist seine Präsenz zwingend erforderlich um die Uebertragung
    der BCL Shares ans ABG zu offizialisier
    "The proposed dates
    were set following a preliminary discussion on the Referendum and
    Autonomous arrangements review of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville
    held in Buka last Thursday.


    Nachdem schon vorbereitende Gespräche
    zwischen den Parteien letzte Woche in Buka stattgefunden haben u. mit
    O`Neill & Co eine stabile Mehrheitsregierung (94:26) in PNG im
    Sattel sitzt sollte man diesmal davon ausgehen können dass das JSB
    Meeting wie geplant stattfinden wird und die langersehnte "Miningpower"
    endlich an das ABG übertragen wird. Zumindest "Mr Zurenuoc also said
    Prime Minister Peter O’Neill has also thrown his support on these
    discussions." lässt O`Neills Zustimmung erwarten.


    Ab
    Morgen starten die nächsten Parlamentssitzungen des ABG in Buka,ein
    historischer Moment für Bougainville da zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte
    auch alle 4 Mps vereint daran teilnehmen sollen.Im Anschluss daran
    sollte dann "Happy Man Momis" seine langerwartete Pressekonferenz
    abhalten.Gut möglich dass auch er noch eine positive Ueberraschung
    bereithält.Dies könnte eine Einladung an BOC zur BCA Review sein, liess
    doch PC verlauten dass dafür nur die Zustimmung von PNG (O`Neill)
    erforderlich ist,u. die könnte Momis sich vorletzte Woche in POM
    abgeholt haben.


    Jetzt könnte alles auch mal ganz "Unexpected"
    schnell gehen und die Zauderer durch positive Nachrichten überrascht
    werden.;-)))))))))))))))))))))

    THE long-awaited Joint Supervisory Body (JSB) meeting between the Government of
    PNG and the Autonomous Bougainville Government is set to take place next month.



    This is according to the PNG Government chief secretary Manasupe Zurenuoc.


    Mr Zurenuoc proposed that this meeting should take place between October 10-23.


    He said he would now hold discussions with Prime Minister Peter O’Neill to set
    the exact date for the proposed timeframe for the JSB meeting to convene.


    The proposed dates were set following a preliminary discussion on the Referendum
    and Autonomous arrangements review of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville held
    in Buka last Thursday.


    This one-day discussion was held between the PNG Government officers led by Mr
    Zurenuoc and their counterparts from the ABG.


    Mr Zurenuoc also clarified that the JSB meetings were not held towards the end
    of last year due to the political instability faced by PNG.


    This was following the unceremonious dumping of Sir Michael Somare and the
    election of Peter O’Neill as the new Prime Minister.


    The last JSB meeting was held in February last year.


    The JSB is made up of leaders from both the PNG Government and the


    ABG. It is through this meeting that important issues like the drawdown of
    powers and functions from PNG to the ABG are discussed.


    Meanwhile, the announcement by Mr Zurenuoc for the JSB meeting to convene is a
    welcome sign for many positive changes to take place in Bougainville.


    Many Bougainvilleans have been criticising the ABG leaders, saying there was
    lack of progress towards full autonomy taking place. They said this was because
    there had been no JSB meeting held since early last year.

    Die Edelmetallinverstoren hier verstehen aber alle garantiert etwas von Dividenden ;-))))))))))))


    Ein Invest in Bougainville Copper ist eine Investition in 61% Kupfer,36% Gold, 2,3% Silber und etwas Molybdän.


    Die konsevativen Zahlen der Landeigner bez. Produktion u. Gewinn ergeben zu aktuellen Rohstoffpreisen 2.87$ per Share,was einer Rendite zum heutigen Kurs von +350% entspricht.

    Block Cave Mining The Future of Large-Scale Underground Copper
    Mining




    http://member.afraccess.com/me…20120827/RIO_01326683.pdf




    What is the Value Proposition?


    • Greater depth of ore bodies (exhaustion of near-surface ores)


    • Declining ore grades


    • Improving mining technology


    Block Caving is:


    • Lowest cost underground mining method


    • A mass-mining method – matching the scale of the largest
    opencut


    mines


    • Can be intensely automated (a safer mining method)






    UBS 29-Aug-12 An analyst site visit to Rio's Northparkes copper
    mine, the broker notes progress being made with Block Caving
    methods may well help the company maintain an advantage in
    underground mining in the years ahead. Buy call, target and
    forecasts are maintained.




    The broker saw some new underground mining technological
    developments that it believes will provide the company some long
    term competitive advantages, while recent discoveries could well
    support a major expansion.
