  • That we oppose the reopening of the Panguna mine

    Infoslide

    Bougainville is a semi-autonomous region of Papua New Guinea. The Panguna Copper mine was opened in 1972 by Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL). Local concerns about the mine revived a secessionist movement, leading to the mine’s sabotage in 1989 and a civil war that killed 20,000 people. A 2001 peace deal granted autonomy and promised a referendum, which in 2019 saw 98% vote for independence. The mine remains uncontained, with an estimated $80 billion in copper and gold. The Autonomous Bougainville Government now owns 72% of BCL, and is considering reopening the mine as part of its 2027 independence plan.
