Bougainville landowners

Panguna landowners throw support behind ABG

The shares were transferred to the impacted landowners of the abandoned Panguna Mine.

Prime Minister Peter O’Neill last month announced the shares transfer to mine landowners, bypassing ABG. This did not go down well with the PNG’s semi-autonomous province.        

In a combined statement, Panguna Mine Affected Landowners Association and the Me’ekamui Government of Unity stated that the equity must be transferred to ABG to look after on behalf of all the people of Bougainville, including the impacted landowners.
