Newcrest Mine

The delivery included items such as thermometers, stethoscopes, and wheelchairs.

The support follows Newcrest’s recognition of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on Provincial Health Authorities and their ability to respond to the pandemic, whilst maintaining routine health service delivery.

Acting Chief Executive Officer of the New Ireland Provincial Health Authority, Dr Joachim Taulo, thanked Newcrest Mining for continuing to support to the province.

This is the motto acknowledged by workers and most importantly, safety officers, at the Newcrest mine at Lihir, New Ireland Province. 

Health and safety superintendent, Leo Kola, said this during his presentation of a review into the safety of employees of the mine.

During the recent mining and petroleum conference, he said safety is the utmost objective that is observed by workers at the mine site.

The mine is located in the Morobe Province.
