Explorations

In Ng, More

The Chilean Government’s partial takeover in June of the huge copper mines owned by the world’s biggest copper pro ducer, Anaconda, will mean this company and another huge American copper miner, Kenne cott will step up explorations in Papua-New Guinea in an effort to locate new reserves.

Both have been exploring in many parts of the territory in recent years partly because their interests in Chile have been steadily “nationalised”. Kenne cott has recently found copper near “Oregalore”, its base camp in Papua’s Western District.
