A protest was held in Porgera on Friday claiming that BNL’s current recruitment process was improperly overlooking unemployed locals within the Special Mining Lease area.
BNL completely rejects these inaccurate claims.
BNL in a media statement said since the mine was placed into Care and Maintenance in April 2020, BNL has invested more than K1 billion kina in good faith in the hope and expectation that the various contractual and regulatory conditions for the reopening of the Porgera mine can be satisfied to allow for the restart to occur.
