PNG Extractive Industries Emergency Response Challenge

All-female crew takes part in challenge

Newcrest Mining, the operator of the Lihir gold mine in the New Ireland Province, sent its female team for the second time to this event after they first took part in 2015.

The EIERC, formerly known as the National Mining Emergency Response Challenge, will see a total of nine teams being tested on their emergency response capabilities to be held at the PNG Maritime College.
