Our Story

The Porgera Gold Mine is located in the Enga Province of Papua New Guinea at an altitude of 2,200 – 2,700 meters. It is 130 kilometers west of Mt Hagen and 600 kilometers northwest of the capital Port Moresby.
 
The Porgera Joint Venture (PJV) owns the Porgera Mine which is operated by Barrick (Niugini) Limited ("BNL") on behalf of the JV partners.
 
 The Porgera Gold Mine has produced more than 20 million ounces of gold and contributed approximately 10% of Papua New Guinea’s total annual exports over the life of the mine to date.

The re-opening of the site planned for 2022 launched a new online induction program to be developed to ensure all employees are brought up to date with any changes, and to ensure all employees are aware of relevant safety and environmental policies and procedures.
