Mineral Resources Authority of Papua New Guinea

The MRA is principally a government regulatory institution providing regulatory services to companies holding exploration and mining tenements in Papua New Guinea. Mining can be a highly risky but profitable business, and people in Papua New Guinea may have high expectations on the benefits it may bring. MRA prides itself in managing these expectations effectively since its conception in 2005. Apart from these services, MRA is also a scientific institution conducting surveys and explorations to understand better the geology and mineralization of Papua New Guinea. It is the custodian of all mineral and other earth sciences data in Papua New Guinea.
