• Feasibility Studies to commence in the third quarter of 2013 and delivered in 2014 and production expected in 2019.
• The PFS proposes that the Golpu deposit be mined via a large, long life, deep underground mine using the block caving method, first in PNG for such operation.
• Community Participation Agreement (CPA)program rolled out involving the 16 communities of Wafi Golpu. About 80% complete.
• Government allocation of K1.5million as Business Development Grant to be utilized for CPA
