Porgera Gold Mine, Enga Province, Papua New Guinea
Looking up the Porgera Valley at the gold mine run by Canadian mining company Barrick Gold. The mine has destroyed the local ecosystems including the rivers and is having serious health impacts on the local people.
And I imagine the price they paid local landowners whenever it all started was an embarrassing pittance. Nice work you’re doing – have you published these pics anywhere? Like, with an article?
No, I would love to do an exhibition or photographic essay of my PNG photos – especially the ones from Pogera, but I haven’t got around to it yet. If you know any publications looking for a story like this, let me know. :-)
