Here is some backround re the landowners alluvial mining proposal.
There is a brief history timeline that some newcomers can use. Most of the history is not available online.
Hope it can be of use to others

PROJECT PROPOSAL - MT. KARE
MT. KARE STRUCTURAL AND GEOLOGICAL SETTINGS
The Mt. Kare prospect is ideally located in the New Guinea Thrust belt within a window of Siltstone and Sandstone of the Cretaceous Feing Group. These are intruded by Pliocene diorite porphyries, and juxtaposed and uncomfortably overlain by limestone and calcareous siltstone of the Oligocene Nipa Group. The intrusives are intimately associated with the gold mineralization and appear to be localized along a North- South transfer structure which also includes the Giant Porgera Gold Mine, some 20 km to the NE of Mt. Kare.
MT. KARE PROPERTY EXPLORATION LICENC (EL 1093)
1985 PA 591 was issued to Mt. Kare Holdings Pty Ltd (CRA) Exploration Licence over 250 sq. km in the Enga province.
1986 Field work carried out in PA 591 with geochemical data 1987 indicating positive results in the Mt. Kare area.
1988 Further work in the Mt. Kare area identified two additional areas 1989 of interest;
1. Upper Gewa River 2. Lubu Creek
1992 CRA pulled out of Mt. Kare and transferred the Special Mining Lease (SML) to Kare Puga Development Corporation ltd (KDC) under the Mt. Kare Settlement Agreement and let the PA 591 lapsed
1992 Exploration Licence EL 1093 was granted to Matu Mining a subsidiary Company for Carpenters Pacific NL, KDC and Oakland disputed the licence granting in the National Court
1994 Kare Settlement Agreement was signed between Carpenter Pacific, Matu Mining, Ramsgate, Oakland, KDC and Madison Enterprises (PNG) as Manager/ Operator of EL 1093 1996 Mt. Kare Joint Venture Agreement signed after settlement Agreement between disputing parties and Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd took over as operator and manager of EL 1093 project.
1999 Madison reported the reserves on the hard rock and alluvial
1. Hard rock 2. 5 million ounce 2. Alluvial 2.0 million ounces
2000 Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd is the current licence Holder ? (EL1093) and Alluvial Mining Manager (SML).
2005 Madison withdrew the arrangements made with Equatorial Resources of Australia to complete due diligence studies to acquire their interest but lately, Madison made new deal with Longview Investments and Buffalo gold to sell its 90% interest in EL 1093.
2009 Madison ceased exploration since liquidator was appointed on the 5th June 2009 and Mt. Kare camp took over r by KDC
2010 liquidator sold EL 1093 to Summit Development Ltd owned by Indochine Mining
2012?EL 1093 expires 28th August 2012
SPECIAL MINING LEASE (SML) FOR ALLUVIAL PURPOSES
The state granted a Special Mining Lease (SML-1 Mt. Kare) over an area of 5010 hectares within Exploration Licence (EL.1093) to Mt. Kare Alluvial Mining on the 27th of September 1990. Mt. Kare Alluvial Mining (MKAM) is a consortium comprising CRA and the landowner company, Kare Puga Development Corporation Limited (KDC). CRA had controlling shareholding in MKAM, having 51% and KDC 49%.
MT. KARE ALLUVIAL MINING (SML1 MT. KARE)
1n 1990 MKAM commenced mechanized alluvial mining on the SML with permanent camp set, more than 200 employees and produced gold 2.5 m2 per day The landowners through KDC dispute the granting of the SML to Mt. Kare Holdings Ltd (CRA) in the National Court, filing Judiciary Review to reverse the decision that SML was supposed to be given to KDC. In 1992, CRA voluntary withdrew from the project site and transferred the SML and mining equipments wholly to Kare Puga Development Corporation Limited (KDC) and let the PA 591 lapse under the Mt. Kare settlement Agreement.
ALLUVIAL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
In 1992, KDC signed Alluvial Management and Hard Rock Agreement with Oakland Pty Ltd a subsidiary company of Ramsgate Resources NL, the Western Australian Company. Oakland to have 40% of alluvial profits as the Manager and 90% on the hard rock while KDC to have 60% on the alluvial resource and 10% on the hard rock development on EL 1093. Oakland assisted the litigants to fund the Mt. Kare litigation to remove CRA.
MT.KARE JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT (MKJV)
In 1996, the MKJV Agreement was signed between Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd, Matu Mining Ltd, Carpenter Pacific Resources NL, Ramsgate Resources NL, Oakland Ltd and Kare Puga Development Corporation Ltd on El 1093. The Alluvial Management Agreement between Oakland Pty Ltd and KDC was assigned to Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd under the Mt. Kare Joint Venture Agreement (MKJV). Madison was the Manager and operator of the exploration licence EL 1093 and also the Alluvial Mining Manager
MADISON AS MANAGER/ OPERATORS OF ALLUVIAL RESOURCES, FAILED IN THEIR DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS SPECIFICALLY:
Madison breaches both the (MKJV) Mt. Kare Joint Venture Agreement and the Alluvial Management Agreements by not performing the duties required under the agreements:
1. The special Mining Lease (SML) 1 Mt. Kare expired in September 2000 after Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd failed to develop the Alluvial Resources on the (SML) since 1997 to 2000.
2. Madison as the Alluvial Manager/ operator, failed to pay annual rental fees outstanding with the Mining Department, more than K300,000,00
3. Madison failed to submit Alluvial Mining Development Plan to develop the SML as the manager of the alluvial project.
4. Madison failed to lodge SML renewal application before or after expiry of SML to renew the licence.
5. Madison failed to lodge new application for Alluvial Mining Lease (AML) under the Mining Act Section 38.2
6. Madison has registered Charge and Caveat over the SML that stops KDC from entering into new arrangements with any new developer to develop the SML and that cripple KDC from Alluvial development.
7. Madison’s Court Order OS No. 241 of 1999 stops KDC from dealings or removing the registered caveat lodged by Oakland over the SML held by KDC in 1994.
8. Madison failed to defend the Court Order taken by KDC to extend the SML from 27 September 2000 to 27 September 2001 that State filed a motion that invalided the Order on the 14th February 2001.
9. Madison submits 16 AML applications for Tributary licence that was granted to the applicants and that denying interests held by KDC under the previous SML. ?
10. Madison failed to honour the EL 1093 Renewal Condition MOU signed in 1999 between the then Mining Minister and Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd, for Madison to develop the alluvial resources and use its 40% alluvial profits to pay compensation to landowners especially the Mt. Kare litigants.
11. Madison Hired Alluvial Mining Expert, Rose McMaster’s ALLUVIAL ASSESSMENT SML 1 STATUS REPORT downgraded the alluvial reserves to 2 million ounces from CRA reported in 1990 of 7.5 million ounces.
APPOINTMENT OF LIQUIDATOR
In 2008, the PNG creditors filed a petition in the National Court to wind up Madison Enterprises PNG Limited for not paying the creditors’ due to company insolvency.
The National Court appointed a liquidator Mr. James Kruse from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu on the 5th of June 2008 to liquidate Madison Enterprises PNG Limited
Madison insolvency invalided the Mt. Kare Joint Venture Agreement and other agreements, rights that the company may have over EL 1093 or on alluvial resources.
EXPIRY OF ALLUVIAL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
Alluvial Management Agreement between KDC and Madison on 60 /40% profit sharing in favor of KDC was lapsed upon the expiry of SML in September 2000 and now the company Madison is under liquidation and KDC to invite new investors for alluvial
New investors interested on the alluvial resources should sign MOU with KDC and should sought permission from the MINING Department and EL 1093 holder to consent to the ML application as required under the Mining Act for the Exploration Licence holder to issue a letter of consent for application to be approved by Mining Department.
NEW MINING LEASE FOR ALLUVIAL PURPOSES
Alluvial Mining can be reactivated under Section 38.2 of Mining Act 1982 for mechanized Mining in which the both parties to have equal interests and landowners alluvial profits after costs. The current estimated alluvial reserves 2.0 Million ounces (study done by Rose McMaster, Madison hired Alluvial Expert in 2002) and cullvial deposit is more than alluvial deposits.
In 1999, two reports compiled by Madison hired alluvial expert that downgraded alluvial reserves. CRA reported combined resources of 5.750,000 cubic metres at7.5g/m3 was downgraded to approximately 1,000,000 cubic metres at 2.0g/t Au
Alluvial resources are very limited and may possibly have a total combined resource not exceeding 2.0 million ounces reserves unless more studies are down to increase the reserves as presume more reserves can be identified with the SML 1 Mt. Kare.
A brief cash flow projection is presented and assumes that the Mine life will not exceed five (5) years and two to four years alluvial mining using mechanized methods is predicted by studies done by alluvial experts.. Mt. Kare alluvial Mining programme Budget Estimate is attached with the map copy of the Special Mining Lease (SML) and other relevant documents to be provided upon request
SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed feasibility study will be carried out in Mount Kare area which is located along the border of Enga and the Southern Highlands Provinces. The main objective of this study is to find out the grades of alluvial gold and its contents in the Blocks; A, B, C and D in (refer to Attachment 2). The blocks A, B, and D are located within the Enga side (Paiela side) and Block C is located on the Southern Highlands side (Tari side).
The deliverables we propose includes the reports on;
1: The contents and grades of the alluvial gold,
2: The boundary for the New Mining Lease area for Alluvial Purposes,
3; the adequate data to substantiate the Application for new Mining Lease for Alluvial Purposes to be lodged under the Mining Act (Section 38.2) with the Mining Department.
4: The necessary informational data to substantiate the Mining Development Plan to be submitted to the Mining Department for the Mining Advisory Board’s (MAB) consideration and approval on the Application for granting of Mining Lease for Alluvial Mining Purposes.
Furthermore, in January 1999; feasibility study was conducted by an Exploration Geologist and a Mining Expert (Ross McMaster). This study was based on the previous Special Mining Lease 1 (SML 1 Mt Kare), but this Licence Expired in the year 2000.Thus, this feasibility study is proposed to be conducted to facilitate the creation of new Mining Lease for mechanized Alluvial Mining Purposes.
This study will also involve an integrated assessment of the needs of important sectors such as Education, Health, Infrastructure Development and small to medium scale businesses. That is, it will further analyze other avenues such as Cost & Revenue, Social & Economic Impacts
SECTION 2: GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
The purpose of this proposal is to find out the grades of alluvial gold and its contents in each of the Blocks outlined in annex 2. .It is also aimed at acquiring of necessary information for the enhancement of the creation of the New Mining Era.
This will particularly replace the previously expired Special Mining Lease (SML) that indeed never brought any tangible benefits. The nonprovision of the required benefits was mainly caused by the none development of the Alluvial by the Madison Enterprise (PNG Ltd) as the sole responsible Manager of the Alluvial Project.
Hence, the main objective of this proposed study is to facilitate the Alluvial Development Project which will directly repeal the immense tangible benefits to the concerned community. The additional purpose of the study is to identify new Alluvial Deposits so as to facilitate the collection of important data for the Alluvial Mining Development Plan. It will also help to maximize the returns from the fore planned Alluvial Development Project
The further aim is to attract foreign investors using the best report provided from the careful feasibility study conducted. Subsequently, it will also involve an integrated assessment of the needs of important sectors. That is, it will further analyze the avenues such as Cost & Revenue and Social & Economic Impacts. These are fully outlined below;
COST & REVENUE ANALYSIS
It is vitally important to perform a detailed analysis of the financial costs and benefits of Alluvial Mining Project for all parties to the Alluvial Mining System.
A major function of this analysis would be to determine what incentives might exist to attract donor organizations and/ or multi-million kina companies operating in the country to assist in the cost of implementation and an on-going maintenance of such a project under their community obligation responsibility.
The alluvial assessment report must be compiled by a registered geologist to determine the reserves and create new mining lease.
The alluvial assessment study may take 3 months to complete. The registered surveyors to be engage to survey the new alluvial deposit areas to determine the size of the area containing alluvial reserves a part from current 16 AMLS. Finalization of the above studies may cost K250, 000.00. Mining Lease application can be prepared by a registered geologist at the costs of K250.000.00
Development Proposal Plan can be submitted to the Mining Department using above studies for approval and the granting of the Mining Lease. Under Section 38.2 for full scale mechanize alluvial mining
FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALLUVIAL DEVELOPMENT
The financial requirements or conservative estimates for the projects calculated on the basis of the pre-feasibility study are about PNG Kina K12 Million, which includes the pre-feasibility, environmental impact and technical feasibility studies component, alluvial assessment report and community impact projects.
The Loan Proposal of K5 million requested from State through Public Investment Program or foreign financial investors for first stage alluvial development and for other impact community development projects identified under the feasibility studies
PRESENT CONSTRAINTS FACING ALLUVIAL MINING
The Mt Kare alluvial Project is not able to secure a financier or investor for the following reasons:
The previous operator, Madison Enterprises PNG Limited has not been able to fund the alluvial development or secure funding for the project as required under the Mt Kare Joint Venture Agreement and let the SML expired.
Madison Enterprises PNG has also cut its monthly budgetary allocation of K15 000 funding support to the landowner company for last 14 years as a result, the company had financial problems that may lead the company into insolvency unless KDC resumes operation.
There has been no funding from the respective Provincial Governments or National Government to promote the activities of the Mt Kare Project and this is first of it kind requesting financial assistance from State.
KDC was crippling to obtain bank loans, off shore loans or secure other investors to invest due to Madison’s Registered Charge and the caveat over the SML blocking way for KDC performing is tasks until liquidation and KDC is free from encumbrances.
KDC failed to receive support from the respective Donor Agencies, Provincial Governments State or interested financers to fund the alluvial mining operations
KDC had no assets to trade as bank loans impossible due to Madison registered caveat and KDC may see light in the tunnel while insolvent company Madison is taken over by big companies but that did not happen and a company like Madison took over, causing further delays .
PROPOSAL TO RESUME ALLUVIAL MINING
The size of old SML is about 5010 hectares of land and the half size of the land is Potential Alluvial reserve areas. The areas in Map attached, Block A – D be regarded as reduced size of old SML and Alluvial potential areas.]
KDC TO APPLY FOR NEW MECHANIZE ALLUVIAL MINING LEASE
KDC with its new joint venture partner under the joint venture company Mt. Kare Alluvial Mining (MKAM) can apply for Mining Lease for alluvial purposes to do Mechanize Alluvial Mining under PNG Mining Act Section 38.2 by providing the following reports to the Mining Advisory Board (MAB) for deliberations.
