I think its a noble thing you did by helping our brothers south of the border to see how the PNG communities and the developers are working together(?)within the resources industry.
I suggest that it would be worthwhile to arrange a similar trip for our LO’s at Panguna so that they become aware of the progress that has been made in post BCL mining agreements and the improved benefits that those LO’s are now enjoying.
Mind you,none of the current Mining companys have built local infrastructure that compares with what BCL put in place in Arawa and Panguna.The benefits on the royalty/compensation front though, are better these days than what the Panguna LO’s were receiving-thanks to the Bougainville crisis.
Being aware and more informed will help the LO’s make better decissions if and when renegotiation of the BCL agreement or an agreement with a new developer takes place.
My thougths.
