INTERNATIONAL MINING The mining industry one of the main pillars of economic growth Papua New Guinea (PNG), which home many new and exciting project developments. Miners with PNG operations are the path to potentially see great success. Newcrest The Australian miner wholly owns Lihir gold operations located Niolam Island, 900km from the PNG capital Port Moresby. Lihir one the world’s largest producing gold mines, with ore reserves 22 million ounces (Moz) of gold and measured and indicated mineral resources 42Moz. The project’s pre-feasibility study for Phase 14A was approved the Newcrest board late 2021, which the company described as “key milestone towards realising the full potential (the) operational asset”. Lihir’s Phase 14A aimed to bring forward higher grades improve gold production and operational flexibility establishing additional independent Newcrest continued to progress the Phase 14A feasibility study during the 2022 financial year (FY22) with ground support, drainage works and shotcrete works completed, and the procurement mobile fleet equipment, specialised civil engineering equipment “Phase 14A another step forward realising the full potential of Lihir with the cutback expected deliver (approximately) 400koz (thousand ounces) incremental high-grade gold production over the next four years from supported geotechnical drilling,” quarterly report. “Ground support works continued Bench during the quarter and mining well underway Bench First high-grade ore from Phase 14A expected delivered from FY24.” NEW HORIZONS PAPUA NEW GUINEA HAS ALWAYS HAD STRONG MINING PRESENCE. AUSTRALIAN MINING EXAMINES SOME OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS. INTERNATIONAL MINING Lihir has continued see great success 2023, was evident Newcrest’s June quarterly report that included highlights such record safety performance with no recordable injuries for second consecutive quarter. “Newcrest’s all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of $1196 per ounce for the quarter was 20 per cent higher than the prior period, driven higher capital expenditure mainly Lihir,” Newcrest said report. Gold production the site equalled to 182koz, which was eight per cent higher than the previous period due to higher gold head grade and higher mill throughput. Lihir’s overall performance was below expectations, however, with mining and milling operations affected by extreme rainfall following prolonged period of drought. indicate that rainfall levels in the September 2023 quarter will more aligned with the long-term average,” Newcrest said in its June quarterly report. “As result, mining volumes are expected to increase in FY24, supported by the ongoing benefits from the mine improvement program and further productivity improvements with two new large shovels expected site the September 2023 quarter. “Lihir’s AISC of $1555 per ounce was 16 per cent higher than the prior period mainly due higher sustaining capital expenditure, including mobile fleet procurement. This was partly offset by lower site operating costs for the quarter, with higher spend the prior period relating the bi-annual plant shutdown March 2023.” The PNG Independent Consumer and Competition Commission (ICCC) also recently granted clearance for US gold giant Newmont proceed with its acquisition Newcrest. “We appreciate the ICCC Papua New Guinea carefully reviewing and clearing our proposed acquisition Newcrest,” Newmont chief executive “We remain committed to building strong, mutually beneficial and longlasting relationships with PNG’s government and local communities.” St Barbara Following the recent sale its Australian-based Leonora assets to Genesis Minerals, St Barbara appears be focusing elsewhere for gold. Its Simberi operation, located the PNG province of New Ireland, has delivered strong results for the gold miner and projected improve “Simberi produced 25,189 ounces of gold in the quarter, per cent higher than the March quarter and the best production quarter since Q4 June FY20,” St Barbara said in June quarterly report, while adding that the Simberi operations delivered 78,320 ounces gold for FY23. The June quarter’s ounces were produced an elevated average milled grade of 1.81 grams per tonne (g/t). “Grades were higher compared the previous quarter due better grade ore zones that outperformed against model expectations,” Barbara said. This result was achieved within the FY23 guidance 70,000–80,000 ounces and AISC $2208 per ounce. Barbara’s June 2023 quarter report also noted that results from the Simberi operations were the highest had recorded FY23, with being highest production quarter since the June 2020 quarter. also generated million operating cash flow, third consecutive quarter of positive cash flow. “St Barbara now well capitalised focus advancement of the strategy realise value from the development potential each of Simberi and Atlantic, and look forward this next important phase,” St Barbara managing Hastings Deering The Caterpillar (Cat) supplier’s journey PNG began 1949, and Hastings Deering delivers Cat products and services the region’s mining industry. The company operates across six PNG sites: Kimbe, capital of the West New Britain province; Kokopo, capital the East New Britain Province; Lae, capital Morobe Province; Lihir Island, largest island the Lihir group islands; Tabubil, in the Star Mountains area of the North Fly District the Western Province; and the national capital Port Moresby.

According to Ok Tedi Mining, which operates the site, 240,000 tonnes overburden (waste rock) mined each day from pit covering about 2.6km2, and about 60,000 tonnes ore mined each day and delivered the mill for processing. Oki Tedi’s copper production was per cent higher in 2022 than the previous year due increase per cent ore milled, with 2021 affected residual fire damage late 2020. The site’s gold production was per cent higher 2022 than the previous year, which was attributable higher head grade and increased processing throughput, and its mine production (total material movement) increased 10 per cent 104.7 megatons (Mt), with COVID-related labour shortages experienced 2021 largely addressed. “Production levels are now back line with pre-pandemic 2019 levels,” Oki Tedi said its 2022 annual report.

A total of 484 responses were collected from readers over an eight-day period. “ INTERNATIONAL MINING A one of the main economic pillars the country, mining has found successful home in Papua New Guinea (PNG). One company that understands this situation well Hastings Deering, one the top suppliers Caterpillar (CAT) products and services the Pacific nation’s mining sector. Hastings Deering’s journey PNG began 1949, and has been delivering CAT products and services the country’s mining industry since that time. Hastings Deering’s PNG division has 300 employees supporting five business centres located Port Moresby, Lae, Tabubil and Kimbe, with operations centre Lihir Island supporting Australian gold miner Newcrest. “We have many aspects our business, with our key objective being support Caterpillar equipment owners with parts and service support mining, general construction, power generation and marine industries,” Hastings Deering PNG area manager –Dare told Australian Mining “With approximately 30,000 Caterpillar line-item parts and access to the Caterpillar global dealer network, we are well positioned for parts distribution to our customer needs.” Hastings Deering has an in-house training centre PNG that produces certified CAT technicians through apprenticeships mechanical and autoelectrician trades. “The training team based out Port Moresby and Lae has grown the number of opportunities and offerings recent years expanding our capability work experience and digital delivery training modules,” Dare said. “Training has focused on literature and numeracy testing and parts-warehouse training, being accredited NC1 and NC2 (National Certificate) for DHEF (Diesel Heavy Equipment Fitting) and and registered with the PNG Department Higher Education Research Science and Technology.” The in-house education capability specialists and training staff are taught global level under Caterpillar’s standards. that end, Hastings Deering recently invested more than $250,00 in state-of-the-art Caterpillar simulator that enables virtual training on excavators and track-type tractors. Dare proud of the work the Hastings Deering PNG team has done, especially the changes implemented over recent years to increase the safety its employees and customer service, an approach that sits the centre the company’s continual improvement strategy. “Our team Papua New Guinea doing incredible job engaging with the local communities and we are very proud the amazing partnerships they have built,” Dare said. One these partnerships with the Hunters, professional rugby league club in PNG. Dare said the team aligns with the values of Hastings Deering, embracing diversity, equality and inclusiveness. “Rugby league an institution in PNG and the Hunters have the largest footprint for this sport in PNG, so this partnership allows to connect with our employees, customers and the broader PNG community,” Dare said. REACHING ACROSS THE PACIFIC HASTINGS DEERING IS BRINGING MORE THAN JUST CATERPILLAR MACHINERY TO PAPUA NEW GUINEA’S MINING SECTOR. HASTINGS DEERING HAS ROBUST IN-HOUSE TRAINING CENTRE PNG THAT PRODUCES CERTIFIED CAT HASTINGS DEERING HAS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HUNTERS, INTERNATIONAL MINING Hastings Deering’s PNG division also sponsors the Port Moresby Kart Club, go-karting organisation that televises the races across PNG. “In addition donating CAT merchandise for prizes, the Hastings Deering PNG team also put free barbecue recent race, which provided a great opportunity support and network with the community,” Dare said. Hastings Deering’s PNG team recently worked with not-for-profit group Buk bilong Pikinini (which roughly translates ‘books for children’) create reader for the book series, When grow up The latest the series, grow up want heavy equipment operator includes images children visiting Hastings Deering’s Port Moresby branch. “Buk bilong Pikinini has published picture books part the When grow recognise themselves and their culture the books they publish,” Dare said. Other PNG causes Hastings Deering is committed to includes the Wild Cats, Port Moresby netball team that wholly made up of Hastings Deering PNG employees and their children, and the Port Moresby annual corporate blood drive since 2015 through sponsorship and business wide blood donation campaign,” Dare said. “The Port Moresby General Hospital is the largest hospital in PNG and the impact this cause has been far-reaching.” Indeed, with its support so many causes in PNG, Hastings Deering’s impact the Pacific nation can also be DEERING’S MONTHLY BARBECUE IN PORT MORESBY. HASTINGS DEERING AND THE HUNTERS RUGBY LEAGUE TEAM EMBRACE DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSIVENESS. INTERNATIONAL MINING Papua New Guinea (PNG) has storied gold and copper mining history harking back the early 1900s, and the likes of Ok Tedi, Lihir and Simberi are some of the active mines still producing today. The country’s mining past has not been without its troubles, but companies are driving today’s sector forward, generating new opportunities emerging professionals. The IEA College of TAFE, based the country’s capital Port Moresby, playing key role fostering PNG’s next generation of miners. While IEA doesn’t provide education in practical trades, does offer courses in business, accounting, IT, sales and marketing, each which are important disciplines in the mining sector. PNG continues develop and progress commercially, the country’s population beginning embrace the opportunities, learning the importance professionalism and customer service. Through the support international companies, tertiary institutions such as IEA, and allied countries such Australia, PNG has way forward. IEA manager Dr William Pedley told Australian Mining vision “teaching the right attitude”. “Three quarters of our students are people from school, another quarter are people who are in work but realise they can’t get promotion without qualification, they come back and get proper qualification.” Pedley said. “We are the only college TVET (TAFE-delivered vocational education Australian institutions, such James Cook University in Queensland, to support those who want study across the Torres Strait. PNG’S BRIGHT MINING FUTURE MINING IS ONE OF THE MAJOR ECONOMIC DRIVERS FOR AUSTRALIA’S CLOSEST NEIGHBOUR, WHICH MEANS THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK AND ESTABLISH A CAREER IN THE PACIFIC NATION. THREE MILLION TONNES OF COPPER AND 306 INTERNATIONAL MINING “So that’s how we interlink with PNG companies and also the youth the country.” make an effective contribution to the companies for which they work, with a goal to train leaders who can rise up the ranks and take on management roles. Pedley used the example of former Ok Tedi managing director and chief executive officer Musje Werror, who was the keynote speaker IEA’s graduation ceremony earlier this year. “Musje was born West Papua (in Indonesia) but grew up Papua New Guinea, and he rose right to the top Ok Tedi,” Pedley said. “That’s the sort goal we want our students.” Through existing operations and emerging development projects, the PNG mining sector has an important role play in not only supplying the world with important minerals but also providing career opportunities the country’s population. And educational institutions such the IEA College TAFE will key players as part this process, enabling the next generation of miners realise and take advantage their professional opportunities. “People who get our diplomas and advanced diplomas can on (to James Cook) after getting credit for their first year studies IEA,” Pedley said. “It noticeable whenever somebody who’s gone Australia comes back the professionalism they’ve absorbed from being Australia, and the professional attitudes they’ve “In ideal world, you’d have all our graduates to Australia to do one, two, three more years’ work experience and, because they all love their country, they will probably filter back some point anyway. “The experience they would then bring back would have very beneficial effect on Papua New Guinea.” generation of professionals, the institution’s key strategy get students into companies, which often two-way partnership. “We also train people within companies,” Pedley said. “We’ve got links with Ok Tedi and Lihir and we’ve had huge link with Panguna the past, which set reopen in the next year.” Panguna copper-gold mine Bougainville has produced three million tonnes of copper and 306 tonnes gold in the past. Panguna’s reopening key objective of PNG’s Department Mineral and Energy Resources (DoMER), with discussions between the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) and the mine’s landowners continuing advance. It’s mines such Panguna that not only offer career opportunities IEA provide career development opportunities within companies. “We into companies, help train their staff and give them train-thetrainer qualifications, they know how teach new procedures effectively their employees,” Pedley said. “At the same time, we look hopefully place our students these companies once they’ve graduated.” Pedley said IEA has also formed ties with and gas companies the institution looks support this growing industry. The production liquefied natural gas (LNG), particular, spurring PNG’s future economic potential. “We’ve been talking the and gas industry because there are some major new projects coming online next year,” Pedley said. “Many of these companies are looking for chefs provide catering. So we’ve got an MoU (memorandum understanding) with Oilmin, who are supplying catering services many these projects. “In conjunction with Oilmin, we train senior chefs who then train their and give them qualification the same time.” IEA also working with Express Freight Management support PNG’s next generation logistics personnel. This particularly important for PNG mining sector reliant on effective sea, and road transportation. “These are the areas where soft skills are key,” Pedley said. “There are technical aspects these industries, but it’s largely about sensible planning and effective training procedures, which companies and employees typically don’  have PNG.
