The Porgera Mine is a large gold and silver mining operation located in the Enga Province of Papua New Guinea. It is one of the country's most significant mining projects, producing substantial amounts of gold since its opening in 1990. The mine is situated at a high altitude, which presents unique challenges for extraction and transportation. Operated by Barrick Gold Corporation and Zijin Mining Group, the Porgera Mine employs advanced mining techniques to extract ore from underground. The site has faced various environmental and social issues, including concerns about its impact on local communities and ecosystems. Despite these challenges, it remains a key contributor to the local and national economy.
