This is a fact sheet that provides information about open-cut mining and how the environmental impacts are managed. It describes the processes involved, the relevant PNG mining operations and the minerals extracted.

Renewable energy is used in Papua New Guinea from a number of sources. Approximately 65% (325) megawatts (MW) of the 500 (MW) of electricity generating capacity comes from renewable sources. The most significant of these is hydroelectricity which provides approximately 45% of PNG’s power.In this fact sheet information about production of renewable energy in PNG and across the globe is provided. It describes the different methods of electricity production and quantifies the amount of energy generated by each.

This interactive bi-lingual e-book tells the story of mining through text and audio in both English and Pidgin English.Developed by ‘Sharing Culture', the book takes the reader through the exploration, mining, processing and use of minerals and highlights the types of careers that are available in the industry.

Most of the products we use every day, for example; mobile phones, televisions, computers and cars are made out of valuable minerals and metals found in rocks that were mined from near the earth’s surface. This rock material that contains sufficient valuable minerals and metals and is mined from the ground is called ore. This fact sheet includes information on the types of hard rock mining, underground safety and underground coal mining.

This bilingual PNG fact sheet describes the processes involved in the exploration for deposits of oil and natural gas and also discusses the exploration process undertaken already in PNG. The discovery of offshore natural gas fields is creating a boom LNG industry in PNG.

Exploration is the process of searching for deposits of minerals in the ground. The information and data gathered during exploration is used to assess the size and quality of a mineral deposit and determine if it can be developed into a mine.

This fact sheet describes how coal is formed, mined, processed and used. Diagrams illustrate the formation of coal from peat through to anthracite. Statistics are included on the world’s top coal producers and importers. Information is included to allow a comparison of coal production in the Asia-Pacific region.

This PowerPoint describes how copper ore is extracted and turned into copper metal. It shows the properties, uses and extraction of copper. It includes details of the mining and processing of copper ore as well as smelting, converting and refining to produce copper metal. It contains explanations of froth flotation, smelting, converting and electrolytic refining.
