2 mos. left in O'Neill's timeline. Sounds like some proposals, conditional approvals and final bidding, pig roasting and champaigne toasting will be in our near future.

Sydney Hilton Hotel, 3 – 5 December 2012

The resource industry in Papua New Guinea is experiencing an unprecedented period of activity and growth. Exploration in both the mining and petroleum sectors is at an all time high and significant expenditure is occurring across the nation.

Since the current surge commenced, PNG has successfully added two major mining projects to the country’s portfolio and will soon become the newest member of the exclusive club of LNG producing nations. It will also shortly become the first deep sea mining nation in the world. There is every chance PNG will see the development of several more mining projects in the next five years as well as a number of gas projects, including at least one more LNG development.  This is a wonderful success story that few nations of similar size have achieved.

This exciting story will be showcased in this premier conference on the PNG resources sectors. It is an unparalleled opportunity to meet all the players in the industry and the decision makers in Government. The last event attracted over 1200 delegates and was an outstanding success.

The conference offers a wide range of prestigious sponsorship opportunities and the expanded trade exhibition presents an exciting and exclusive opportunity to showcase your company to a very large audience.

An InterOil logo would have looked nice among the sponsors on that page, Tsk!~
