However, he said the government was committed to working with the mining industry and other stakeholders and have more conversations on the proposed National Gold Corporation Bill 2024. “Your concerns are important. Please put to us what you feel we must improve on and we will look into this bill. So long as we do not shift away from our goal of processing our gold in PNG,” said Marape. The PM was speaking yesterday at the Hilton Hotel in Port Moresby, where the government had gathered the mining industry, stakeholders, interest groups, Non-Governmental Organisations and individuals, to get their views on the bill. He said the government’s goal-post on downstream processing as a pathway to the nation’s economic prosperity would not change.<span style="font-size: var( --e-global-typography-8af2a6d-font-size ); color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span> “Today we are talking about downstream processing of gold. Tomorrow we will be speaking on forestry, fisheries, agriculture and oil & gas,” said the PM. Hon Marape said the government does not want to affect the industry’s profits and contracts. Rather, it wants to add value by way of building the refinery. He said for instance, instead of mining companies shipping their gold to off-shore refineries, they could refine their products in the country which means they would cut cost. **To view more download a PDF** </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-cb89eb1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-particle_enable="false" data-particle-mobile-disabled="false" data-id="cb89eb1" data-element_type="container" data-e-type="container" data-settings="{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-f159ca3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-ha-post-list happy-addon ha-post-list" data-id="f159ca3" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="ha-post-list.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="ha-post-list-wrapper"> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2026/09/12/png-is-open-for-business-minister-loifa/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## PNG Is Open for Business: Minister Loifa </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2026/08/29/simberi-cda-signing-is-a-plus-for-smaa/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Simberi CDA Signing is a Plus For SMAA </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2026/08/29/simberi-mining-project-cda-signed/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Simberi Mining Project CDA Signed </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/11/20/kepas-wali-scholarship-program/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Kepas Wali Scholarship Program </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/11/20/chinese-government-scholarships-for-png-students-to-study-in-china-notice-for-2026-2027/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Chinese Government Scholarships For PNG Students To Study In China Notice For 2026/2027 </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/09/03/mining-wardens-and-snr-legal-counsel-receive-mediation-training/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Mining Wardens And SNR Legal Counsel Receive Mediation Training </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/08/20/congratulations-komunt-and-kipalan-on-your-appointments/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Congratulations Komunt And Kipalan On Your Appointments\! </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/08/18/late-vele-gavus-family-receives-land-title/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Late Vele Gavu's Family Receives Land Title </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/08/11/government-is-committed-to-finalising-k92-project-cda-says-minister-paita/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Government Is Committed To Finalising K92 Project CDA, Says Minister Paita </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/07/14/history-of-mining-in-papua-new-guinea/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## History of Mining in Papua New Guinea </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/05/14/mra-launches-new-digital-billboard/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## MRA Launches New Digital Billboard </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2025/03/04/mra-showcases-pngs-mining-sector/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## MRA Showcases PNG’s Mining Sector </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2024/11/14/mra-and-china-geological-survey-sign-mou/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## MRA and China Geological Survey Sign MOU </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2024/10/25/mra-special-procurement-committee-sworn-in/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## MRA Special Procurement Committee Sworn-in </div> - [<span class="ha-post-list-icon">**</span>](https://mra.gov.pg/2024/10/10/porgera-cda-initialed/) <div class="ha-post-list-content"> ## Porgera CDA Initialed </div>
