Papua New Guinea Environment and Conservation Minister Wera Mori claims that an “illegal” investigation is being carried out into the “spill incident” at the Basamuk mine in Madang.
Mori said an initial investigation by a team commissioned by the National Executive Council on the 2019 incident had been completed and a report prepared. He said: “We had a spillage at Basamuk Bay in Ramu.
As a consequence of a decision by National Executive Council, a team of eminent PNG scientists was assembled to conduct an investigation into the impact of the spillage that took place in August.”
