Open Letter to the Mining Minister "Broken Promise - Experimental Seabed Mining Petition"

On 24th October 2012, 24,000 people in PNG petitioned the Government of PNG to stop Experimental Seabed Mining in PNG Waters. 

The Mining Minister and received this petition on behalf of the Government of PNG. 

We were verbally promised by the Honorable Mining Minister Byron Chan a response within 14 days!

It has been almost 5 months since, with no official response in relation to the petition!

The petitioners on behalf of the people of Papua New Guinea, deserve an answer now!
