The Ministry of Mines, Energy, and Rural Electrification will soon conduct a nation-wide public consultation with important stakeholders about the new mining law. A senior official from the Ministry said that the consultation was an opportunity for the stakeholders to comment, question or scrutinize the new mining law. The consultations will take place at: Gold Ridge Mine, Turarana Alluvial Mine community, Honiara with Guadalcanal Provincial Government, East Honiara with quarry companies, Buala, San Jorge Mine communities, West Rennel Bauxite Mine, Sivai community, and Wagina Island.

The DCGA Government looks keen on bringing in the new mining law and the public consultations, in what appears to be strategic locations where the valuable minerals or the resource owners are probably located, may be an important public relations exercise. It will be interesting to see how the Government reports on the success of the public consultation.
