By | Press Releases | No Comments

The Special Mining Lease Osikaiyang Landowners Association Inc (“SMLOLA”) is appreciative of the efforts of the Autonomous Bougainville Government (“ABG”), giving Bougainville Copper Limited (“BCL”) every opportunity to step up and win landowner support, as they repeatedly stated they had. As evidenced by the Warden’s Hearing however, the landowners for the first time, were fiven an opportunity to speak their mind and clearly BCL does not have the support of the community at large, even after a two year exploration license and a further period of nearly 18 months. We feel the ABG has been more than fair to BCL. However they have not even taken responsibility for the past or offered us any compensation, just lots of broken promises. They have clearly failed under the Bougainville Mining Act and we thank the ABG, Mining Department, Mining Registrar and Mining Warden for conducting an open and fair Warden’s Hearing, which has shown that BCL will never be welcomed back into Panguna. The professionalism of the Hearing has brought much hope to our people who many feel they were being listened to for the first time.

SMLOLA Press Release – Desperate, disrespectful and dishonest – BCL get a “D” for effort in Bougainville and has failed to win Landowner support

By | Press Releases | No Comments

Mr Philip Miriori, the Chairman of the SMLOLA is annoyed by the recent Shareholder Release by Bougainville Copper Limited (“BCL”) which is, profoundly misleading and shows complete disrespect for the facts, the SMLOLA and the views of many of our members, who are standing up for their rights and say, “No to BCL Forever”. The SMLOLA petition against the return of BCL now represents around 2,000 members and continues to increase, but BCL just refuses to listen. BCL try and distract from the real issue – a lack of necessary landowner support – by suggesting there is a leadership issue. Mr Miriori is the Court approved and recognised Chairman of the SMLOLA and MR Daveona’s challenge is disingenuous as it only arose when the members’ view – NO TO BCL – was made clear to BCL. It was a last-ditch effort to try and go around our members.

SMLOLA Press Release – Mediation process is a first for our people – a landmark opportunity for all our SMLOLA members and have their say finally

By | Press Releases | No Comments

The Chairman of the SMLOLA, Mr Philip Miriori says “As many would be aware, we Bougainvilleans have been through a tough history with the disasters that came from the past operations at Panguna, then owned by Bougainville Copper Limited (“BCL”). One of the key issues that lead to our civil war, where around 20,000 of our friends and family died, was the way we were treated by BCL then, entering our lands without consent, without compensating us fairly. Since the end of the conflict, BCL has made no effort to resolve the damage they caused to our people, lands and rivers – infact they deny any responsibility and are trying to tell us what to do again, calling us impediments when we do not agree with the rules they try and dictate. Have they learned nothing or think we have forgotten?”

SMLOLA Press Release – Having failed to win a Social License, BCL now says it will intensify community engagement – too little, too late

By | Press Releases | No Comments

Finally Bougainville Copper Limited (“BCL”) acknowledges it has again failed to win a Social License and now says it will “step up its on-the-ground activities in Bougainville” which should have been obvious much earlier, given the recent road block which stymied their efforts to have a support agreement signed and the petition that was signed by approximately 550 people living in and around the old minesite saying “No to BCL”. The petition was formally delivered to President Momis and the Autonomous Bougainville Government (“ABG”) in April this year. There is an ever growing community discontent about the way they are being treated and you do not get any understanding of that when you read BCL’s announcement.

SMLOLA Press Release – Press Release by Lawrence Daveona (SML) and Philip Miriori (MGU)

By | Press Releases | No Comments

For 17 years since the Bougainville Conflict was settled, both MGU and SML customary landowner groups have been working separately and often in conflict with each other. The causes of this conflict go back to 1964, when Bougainville Copper Limited first occupied and destroyed our ancestral land and our way of life. Without landowner consent, BCL built the world’s largest open cut copper mine generating untold wealth which was never shared with the landowners. This must never happen again.
