The Permit known as WE-L3 (923) EP-L3 (923) was previously held by the former operator BNL as WE- L3 (91) and WD- L3 (121).
The transfer of the permit was officiated by the Prime Minister James Marape and the Minister for Environment & Conservation Simo Kilepa, signifying the importance of benefit sharing, compensation covering environmental damages affected communities, and a step closer to the reopening of the mine.
