Misima Minerals Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ok Tedi Mining Limited (Ok Tedi), demonstrated its commitment to building local partnerships by delivering vital food supplies, including rice, noodles, coffee, sugar, and tinned goods, to the Misima Papua New Guinea Correctional Services (PNGCS) facility.

Ok Tedi Community Relations and Sustainability Superintendent Mr. Joshua Dimel acknowledged the professionalism of the local team and emphasized the importance of industry-government collaboration.

“The assistance provided by CS officers and inmates was prompt and invaluable,” said Mr. Dimel.

“This contribution is a small but sincere gesture of appreciation, and it reflects our commitment to maintaining respectful and mutually beneficial partnerships wherever we operate.”

He added that the company plans to foster the same trust and respect in Misima that Ok Tedi has long shared with the Ningerum CS in Western Province.

Misima Jail Commander Barry Kakeni welcomed the donation, which will support the daily needs of the facility and its inmates.

“We are grateful for this support from Misima Minerals and Ok Tedi,” Commander Kakeni noted.

“This gesture strengthens our relationship and demonstrates the value of cooperation between the private sector and government institutions. We look forward to continued collaboration.”

This initiative reflects the shared responsibility of corporate and public institutions in driving social stability, aligning with Ok Tedi’s broader dedication to sustainability and long-term stakeholder partnerships across Papua New Guinea.
