Wow. Just read the Bougainville vice president' Masono's press release in response to RTG announcement re Miriori/Daveona agreement.

The Bougainville government and Masono make it very clear they are most unimpressed by "companies who use the backdoor ... using self-centred individuals who think they have a monopoly over the people's resources or represent their interests.

"The landowners will decide who the preferred developer will be through a transparent process ... This process has not yet been exhausted and any deals supposedly made between landowner leaders, companies and/or the National Government, and in particular RTG, are premature."

Sounds like BCL still has strong backing.
