Preparations are underway for a review of the Kainantu Gold Mine Memorandum of Agreement.
Mineral Resources Authority Managing Director, Phillip Samar, said a series of consultations will take place before the actual review process begins.
Currently, MRA is brokering resolutions to an eight point petition which the Bilimoia Interim Landowner Association, who represents landowners from the mine, want addressed.
The MOA review is one of the issues contained in the petition.
MRA stepped in to address the petition following the arson attack on mining equipment by locals last week, forcing mine operator K92 Mining Inc to temporarily shut down production.
