You are incorrect with your Bougainville assumption. I worked there for BCL, before the trouble and thru the conflict till we were evacuated. The cause and lead up to the unrest is quite complicated and lengthy to explain here, in short the PNG government is largely responsible as they didn't even turn up for the last 2 Bougainville Agreements negotiations which were laid out by an act of parliament they choose to disregard. The company tried on a number of occasions to get the government to attend and they ignored all requests. At the time BCL contributed 25% of the counties total GDP, was the 4th largest copper and 8th largest gold producer in the world.
