PNG Health Workers To Assist Samoa

It has been brought to the attention of the ABG that certain foreign company executives and shareholders who have a travel ban imposed on them are still continuing to disrespect our customs and laws, and causing disharmony amongst our people at such a critical time in Bougainville’s history.


As such the ABG has had no choice but request the assistance of the Prime Minister of the National Government, Hon. James Marape MP and the Office of Immigration and Border Security, to impose a travel ban on the below individuals from entering PNG and Bougainville:

Mr Michael J Carrick                           - Chairman of RTG Mining
Ms Justine A Magee                           - CEO and Executive Director of RTG Mining
Mr Mark Turner                                  - COO of RTG Mining
Mr Robert N Smith                             - Non-Executive Director of RTG Mining
Mr Phillip C Lockyer                           - Non-Executive Director of RTG Mining
Mr Renzie Duncan                             - Shareholder Central Exploration Pty Ltd.
Mr Nikolajs (Nik) Zuks                        - Shareholder of Kalia Group
I confirm this travel ban was put in place on 3rd October 2018, and now again on 24th September 2019. This travel ban will not be uplifted under any circumstance.

I hope this clears up any confusion or misunderstanding for anyone currently interacting with these individuals on the false hope of future business partnerships in PNG and Bougainville.
