Officially called the ‘Orica Konekaru Site,’ the facility is located in Papa, Central Province, and is a few hundred metres from the Papa-Lealea Road and opposite the PNG LNG Plant Site.
The opening of the site follows from an agreement signed between landowners and Orica five years ago.
Chairman of Konekaru Holdings Limited, Morea Geita, said he was happy with the outcome of the agreement, as it will put Konekaru on the world map.
The Iaro Gaha clansmen said the investment by Orica will be used to their advantage, for the betterment of his people.
