TESTIMONIALS



“Owned mostly for the direct and indirect benefit of the people of Papua New Guinea, the Ok Tedi Mine is the country’s largest and most profitable business, delivering over USD 5 billion since 2002 in taxes, dividends and community funding for project development in PNG. With the mine due to close in 2013, it was essential to develop a sustainable closure plan that would minimise the economic and social impacts on the livelihood of the people of Tabubil and the Western Province. Because of his expertise in the area of Mine Closure Planning and the quality of his previous work in Australia, Shannon Mackenzie was deliberately targeted by OTML to lead the Mine Closure Team and his work on putting the Mine Closure Plan together is to be commended. The very complex and detailed Mine Closure Plan was approved by OTML’s Board and delivered to the PNG Government in December 2009.”

(Former) Managing Director
