Canadian gold major Barrick Gold has called for a partnership approach at its Porgera gold mine, in Papua New Guinea (PNG), after a meeting with newly elected Prime Minister James Marape.
Barrick president and CEO Mark Bristow on Friday concluded his second meeting with Marape, confirming the need for a partnership approach at Porgera, with Bristow telling shareholders that Marape’s view that PNG should receive a better share of benefits was in line with the company’s own commitments.
