Interesting to see your article makes no specific reference to any Mt Kare Landowner clan or person, compared to the article below.
Also, nice to see Indochine's George Niumataiwalu together with the Mt Kare landowners....

A principle landowner of Mt Kare gold and silver project praised the Summit Development limited for the inception of Melanesian approach strategy.
Chief of Yolo clan and principle landowner of Mt Kare in Enga province, Andiki Hayagu said he was very pleased with the Melanesian approach theory which was put in place to counter the white-man’s imaginary boundaries to identify the true landowners.
“It’s awesome to learn that the Melanesian Approach’ theory about using customary landownership methodology was put that rest the landownership issues,” Chief Hayagu said.
He said under the theory, the Landowner Investigation Study (LIS) was successfully underway on-site at Mt Kare, which included the marking out, on the ground and location of the land boundaries amongst the clans identified in the LIS.
“It was being surveyed as required by the Lands Act to be included in the final submission of the Landowner Investigation Report (LIR).
“Therefore, all principle landowners of Mt Kare from both Enga and Hela provinces need to have patients because I don’t see any logic why landowners should make information to obstruct the amazing work done by the licensee,” he said.
Chief Hayagu added that in depth commitment shown by the licensee was unusual and unique which past exploration companies failed to produce results.
“Landowners must be aware and advised and be mindful of the sensitivity and expectations that the issues of mineral ownership were addressed through the Land Identification Report (LIR) development and only the ones validated by the LIR will be recognized by both customary and State law.
“Many have formed organizations recently but are driven by individuals rather than clans identified as landowners of Mt Kare, However, they will still fail one day,” chief Hayagu said.
