Abstract

Gold mining Mining industry Papua New Guinea
This report identifies systemic failures on the part of Toronto-based Barrick Gold that kept the company from recognizing the risk of abuses in Papua New Guinea's gold mine, and responding to allegations that abuses had occurred. The report examines the impact of Canada's failure to regulate the overseas activities of its companies and also calls on Barrick to address environmental and health concerns around the mine with greater transparency. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.
