PNG geological surveys

MRA confident of meeting Government’s 2030 challenge

The average mineral revenue between 2013 and 2016 is about     K8.15 billion.

In the National Government’s Medium Development Plan of 2010, the mining industry was challenged to double the country’s mineral receipts by 2030.

In an effort to help achieve that, the Mineral Resources Authority’s Geological Survey Division initiated several geological surveys programs across the country. The objectives of those programs are to update existing mineral occurrence data and obtain new data sets to boost mineral exploration.
