SYDNEY--Rio Tinto PLC said it has reached an agreement with
residents of Bougainville, an autonomous region of Papua New
Guinea, to assess the legacy impact of the Panguna copper mine that
it offloaded in 2016 and has been closed for more than three
decades.
The company said a joint committee of stakeholders will be
established to oversee a detailed independent assessment of
Panguna, which Rio Tinto said it wasn't able to access since
operations were suspended due to an uprising against the mine.
