About us

For the people's benefit and national development of Papua New Guinea, we exist and stand firm with the following deeds and qualities:

Our Heritage

Mineral Resources Development Company Limited (MRDC) is a 100% State-owned Company. It was incorporated under the Companies Act and was initially appointed as State Nominee to acquire the State's and Landowner equity interests in mining and petroleum projects.

However, with the recent changes, all State's equity has been transferred to Petromin PNG Holdings Limited leaving MRDC to entirely concentrate on Landowner equity interests in both mining and petroleum projects..

MRDC still is the nation's leading corporate entity and remains the single biggest custodian of the people's wealth from our rich natural resources.

Our Vision

To become the leading management company in Papua New Guinea, enhancing the wealth and improving the quality of life for our beneficiaries.

Our Purpose

Our vision is realized by ensuring the following:

Providing efficient management of equity and royalty interests for Landowners and Provincial Governments.

Professionally and independently developing and managing MRDC assets to ensure growth and sustainability through profitable commercial investments.
