The Beginning of our New Chapter as Trustee of the Peoples Resources in Mining and Petroleum Projects

This is one of our popular paradoxical traditional sayings in Papua New Guinea. “You can see the fruits of your garden, but not taste it”. We at the Mineral Resources Development Company believe that our resource landowners and the people of Papua New Guinea through the Government must “Taste the fruits of their garden. As Trustee our Peoples Resources, our endeavor is to maximize value to our beneficiaries.
  • We maintain international best practice.
  • We have good governance and transparent management policies through administrative policies and control systems.
  • We further enhance the economic development potential of the country through the key role in the development of new multibillion kina projects.
  • We have a credible, experienced and dedicated team.
  • We support the development of the national athletes for international competition. We committed K5 million in support of the PNG team participation in the 2007 Pacific Games and 2008 Olympic Games.
  • We maximize the interest of our resource owners through prudent investment policies and practices.
  • We undertake investments in secure business assets overseas for our landowners’ financial sustainability into the future.
  • We have grown the total investment portfolio of landowner companies under our management to over one billion kina within 4 years.
  • MRDC, through Petroleum Resources Kutubu Ltd, has built a BSP Bank premises and as a result, our landowners in Kutubu and Moran Oil Fields now have access to modern banking facilities and products.
  • We have established and we maintain a high performance culture through our human resource management policies and practices.
We endeavor always to focus on tomorrow because our future matters. We aim to be a leading, sustainable investor and active participant in the social and economic development of our people and our country. As trustees, we are prepared as we aspire to provide the leadership in the resource development sector for our landowners and the people of Papua New Guinea.
