Title
Metals Refining Operations - PNG
Description
Since the discovery of gold in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 1888 at Sudest Island in the Milne Bay Province the mining industry of PNG has grown to see Papua New Guinea become one of the top ten gold producing countries of the world.
As a small island nation of some 4.5 million people, a great number of whom lead a subsistence lifestyle, the introduction to the wealth and cultural changes that come with such a rich resource is profound.
As an independent public company jointly owned by the Australian Gold Refineries (AGR) Joint Venture and Metals Refining Holdings Ltd., which consists of Papua New Guinean institutions including the Public Officers Superannuation Fund and the Investment Corporation of PNG, Metals Refining Operations is in the unique position of being Papua New Guinea's only refiner of precious metals.
