Orokolo Iron Sand Project

Our team at SERACS Ltd were engaged by Mayur Resource Ltd to facilitate the first instalment payment for the economic crops and compensation for the landowners. This is based on the exploration compensation agreement signed between Mayur Resource Ltd and the 19 clans of the villages of Ere Kilavi and Huruta.Our team ensured that the payments in cash were made in front of the community. This method of payment was used to relief ordinary villagers from coming to Kerema or Port Moresby to collect payments, as the practice that has been seen in the past logging operations.

With our team’s support, Mayur Resource Ltd ensure that the community engagement is done in the villages and all payments are witness by community. This prevents the process and the payments being hijacked by Port Moresby based groups from Muro. The process of payment in the villages was well appreciated by women and children including the Ward Councillor for Avavu Ward 1, Hon. Jack Pahoa.
