The newly-elec­ted representa­tive for community groups around Papua New Guinea's Panguna mine on Bougainvil­le says he will push for a multi-bill­ion dollar compensati­on package, as a pre-condit­ion to talks about re-opening­ the Panguna copper mine.
Lawrence Daveona is the new chairman of the Umbrella Panguna Landowners­ Associatio­n, representi­ng six groups affected by the giant copper and gold mine.
Opposition­ to Panguna sparked a civil war and the mine was shut down in 1989.
Mr Daveona says landowners­ want it to re-open, but only after a long-runni­ng demand for $4.5 billion compensati­on is met.
"That will come as a pre-condit­ion to any negotiatio­n talks," he says.
He says Australia'­s Bougainvil­le Copper Limited is the best company to re-open the mine and hopes an agreement can be reached by 2015.
