The Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture is a 50/50  joint venture between Newcrest and Harmony Gold to fund and operate the Wafi-Golpu porphyry gold-copper deposit in the Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea.

The Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture has applied for a Special Mining Lease SML10 with the Mineral Resources Authority(MRA), together with supporting Tenements such and Lease for Mining Purposes(LMP) and Mining Easements(ME).

Mining Warden Hearing is one of the requirements under the Mining Act 1992 and is part of application process for lease grant. Thus, part of the hearing for SML 10 were conducted in 2016 .

Due to some technical considerations, part of the feasibility study was ongoing during the submission of SML 10. Thus, some of the support Tenements were lodged with the MRA  later in 2017-2018.

As such, Mining Warden Hearings for the support Tenements will be conducted on the 2nd July 2018 to 5th July 2018.

The Hearings will start at Yanta Community Hall and Hengambu Community Hall on Monday 2/7/18.

on Wednesday,4/7/18 Hearing will be at Wampar LLG Hall near Nadzap airport and at Zifasing at 40 Mile.
On Thursday 5/7/18, Hearing will conclude at Lae indoor sports stadium and Wagang Hall.

The awareness of the Tenements were  conducted by the company officers at the affected communities and the landholders of the affected communities are expected to turn up during the fixed dates and time to give their views whether to support or object the applications and their proposed Tenements/facilities.
