In Wewak a group called 'Project Sepik', says the Papua New Guinea government should say "no" to the proposed Frieda River mining project. The East Sepik civil society group said there had been inadequate environmental impact statements conducted. The copper and gold mine was being planned by an Australian-registered, but Chinese government -owned company, called PanAust. Project Sepik made the call after the views of 10 independent experts on the impact statement went to PNG's Conservation and Environmental Protection Authority.
