Execs tour Ramu NiCo

 THE US$2.1 billion (K5 billion) Ramu NiCo project has been the biggest investment undertaken by the China Metallurgical Construction Corporation (MCC-Group) outside China, the company said.
Speaking during a recent trip to Madang, MCC vice-president Wang Yongguang said the project bears great expectations from all stakeholders for its success.
He was accompanied by general manager of MCC Resource Sector Zong Shaoxing, deputy general manager of MCC Resource Sector Wang Jicheng and deputy general manager of MCC Mining Group Wen Kuiwu.
The group executives visited Ramu NiCo’s Madang office, Kurumbukari Mine and Basamuk refinery to familiarise themselves with the project.
Wang said: “It is an important mission for everyone.
“The success of this project will provide directions and contributions for the development and internationalisation of MCC’s resource sector.”
He urged all staff to consider themselves as elites of the project and should have an international vision with broader view and high standard of ethics.
“I hope all of you could commit to realise self-perfection and development to proactively cope with the challenges presented by a depressed international market and the high risk of internal operation, while continuing to improve your leading capability and the art of leadership,” Wang said.
He also encouraged staff to adjust to cross-cultural environment, master language and cultural differences, while being confident to suggest solutions and move forward to face the complex challenges of operation and conquer benefits.
 “We come from different continents for a common goal that is to realise ramping-up of Ramu project and turn around to increase revenue.
“All Chinese, PNG and Australian employees should work hard to contribute to the development of the project, to add light to MCC’s mining development and to add more highlights to your personal career resume,” Wang said.
