The Papua New Guinea Chamber of Resources & Energy (PNG CORE) recently welcomed two esteemed entities, Great Pacific Gold and Southern Cross Assurance Limited (SCAL), into its dynamic network.
Great Pacific Gold joins PNG CORE following its recent amalgamation agreement with Tinga Valley Copper & Gold Corp. to acquire a highly prospective PNG copper-gold project called the Tinga Valley. This marks a significant milestone in the Chamber’s expansion.
