Newcrest Mining Limited

New Ireland receive K69.8 million in royalties

Following the release of its fourth quarter report for the year, Newcrest Mining Limited has paid in total K69, 877, 823 million.

The royalty has been divided according to the 1996 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the National Government, to the New Ireland Provincial Government (NIPG), the Nimamar local level government (NLLG) and the Special Mining Lease (SML) landowners who are represented through the Lihir Mining Area Landowner Association (LMALA).

Newcrest staff take ownership of awareness

Staff have taken ownership of the ‘Trupla Man, Trupla Meri’ (TMTM) campaign and are advocating anti-violence behavior under various programs such as ‘Tokaut Tokstret,’ ‘Trupla Pasin’ and ‘Happy Home, Safe Productive workplace.’

The advocacy has begun in their homes and communities and now there is a personal commitment to take it to other Provinces such as East New Britain, Madang, Enga, Southern Highlands, and the National Capital District (NCD).

Enga, for instance has been in the spotlight following a string of violence stemming from tribal conflicts.
