• Porgera Mine Sustainability Report
  In August 1999 the Porgera Mine produced its first sustainability report (for the 1998 year), and has produced one annually since then. This report addresses the social, environmental and economic performance of the operation and highlights the PJV's management plans and systems for sustainability.

• CSIRO Review
  The independent review headed by CSIRO was commissioned by the PJV to determine downstream impacts of the mining operation and to answer concerns that had been raised about the impacts on the local people and the environment. The review process spanned several months and involved site visits to Porgera and the communities downstream of the mine. The review team determined health and environmental impacts along with the adequacy of operational practices.

• PJV's response to the CSIRO Review
  The CSIRO Review team made 48 recommendations to the PJV regarding environmental management. The PJV's approach to meeting these requirements is available here. You will need Acrobat Reader to download this file. To obtain a free copy, click on the icon below.
