Discussions between mine-affected landowners, Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL) and the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) are being held not to re-open the Panguna mine but to right the wrongs of the past.
The major players need to complete many tasks before progress towards a mine can even be considered.
These include the implementation of a mining bill for Bougainville, the push for BCL-Bougainville Bel Kol, social mapping, baseline studies and increased community engagement.
All stakeholders require the certainty of a widely supported Bougainvillean mining bill and this is now one of the major tasks that the ABG is working on.
The ABG is working to create a mining act in consultation with the landowners and the various interest groups and legal experts.
The transitional mining bill is being worked on but it is not complete, still subject to Bougainville-wide awareness and consultation to gauge the opinion of the key stakeholders and the broader community.
Bel Kol, social mapping and the baseline studies are the responsibility of the Joint Panguna Negotiation Coordination Committee (JPNCC) made up of mine-affected landowners, the ABG, PNG Government and BCL.
Bel Kol, a unique Bougainvillean cultural custom of remorse, is expected to take place in 2014.
After Bel Kol there can be social mapping and environmental baseline studies that will pave way for full transparency amongst the landowners of Panguna mine-affected areas and inform their future interactions with BCL.
Amongst other activities this will involve community engagement where landowners’ opinions on the past, the present and the future on mining will be collected.
There will also be environmental baseline studies where data will be collected on the current state of mine-affected areas so it can be compared to past information.
Independent specialist firms will engaged by the JPNCC to study the impact of mining on the people and their environment.
These all activities will guide a realistic and responsible path forward for landowners, the ABG and BCL.
