The Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture (WGJV) was formed in 2008 to explore for and evaluate mineral deposits on exploration licences EL 440 and EL 1105 in the Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea.
The most recent portfolio investigations and studies, specifically those of the Wafi-Golpu Project, support the viability of progressing the development of an underground copper-gold mine within the area subject of the Exploration Licences.
Any potential future development of the Project is subject to further studies, completion of statutory processes, receipt of all necessary or desirable Papua New Guinea Government permissions and approvals, market and operating conditions, and approval by the Board of Directors of both Newcrest Mining Limited and Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited.
