ABG Legal adviser Kapeatu Puaria said yesterday that the ABG was talking to mining companies as it prepares to draw down mining powers from the National Government. "At the moment we are preparing ground work with the intention to transfer (mining) powers from the National Government," Mr Puaria said. "The (ABG) cabinet will make the decision on who they want. "We are talking to many mining companies such as Bougainville Copper Limited and Rio Tinto." He said he could not say anything further as the mining issue was still sensitive on the island. He said everything would be made public once things were finalised.
