In a media conference yesterday, Samar said the attack on the mine developer K92 Mining Inc, which was a new company to PNG and who invested millions of kina to revive the mine, had serious implications.
He said the company spent the last two years carrying out maintenance at the mine site and only began selling in July, of which the true benefits were yet to be seen when the attack occurred.
“It’s really discouraging,” said Samar.
“There will be people (investors) watching and wondering what’s going to happen next.”
