Full Description:: Mr. Raymond Masono, Director of the Office of Panguna Negotiations, Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG), is presenting a seminar on ‘Alternative Benefit Sharing Modality for a Redeveloped Panguna Mine in Bougainville, PNG’. Benefits from a redeveloped Panguna Mine must contribute to the overall social and economic development of the all Bougainvillians, not just the mine affected landowners. This requires the design and implementation of a benefit sharing modality that ensures everyone shares in the nation’s wealth. The Office of Panguna Mine Negotiations has been established to coordinate the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) and Panguna mine affected Landowners preparations to negotiate the possible reopening of Panguna Mine in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (AROB). Prior to his current appointment, Mr Raymond Masono was the Deputy Administrator (Policy, Research & Development) within the Bougainville Administration. Mr Masono was also the Acting Chief Administrator and head of the Region’s public service.
