BCL employees ready to tackle jobs with new look

The Bougainville-based employees of Papua New Guinea mining company Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL) have received new uniforms to support their work.
The uniforms were flown in from Port Moresby and were distributed to the staff. The new kit includes long mosquito repellent pants and shirts and a sturdy pair of steel capped safety boots.
BCL has a growing team in Bougainville, which includes senior project officers as well as a network of village liaison officers. The team said the uniforms gave them a greater sense of identity as the company continued to build further trust and positive relationships with titleholders and other stakeholders in Bougainville.
BCL remains the preferred future developer of the Panguna mine by many customary landowners and other members of the community and the local team plays an important engagement role for the company.
