Anthony Smaré as President of the Chamber.

A qualified geologist and a very experienced natural resources lawyer and business

executive, Anthony brings with him a wealth of experience in the role, having also been a

member of the council of the PNG Chamber of Mines and Petroleum, and serving in an

advisory capacity to the work of the organization.

Anthony is the former long service Chairman of Nambawan Super and currently chairs a

number of other boards in the PNG business sector, including Paradise Foods, Laga

Industries and entrepreneurship non-profit The Kumul Foundation Inc.

Chamber’s Mining Committee.

Without any formal association with any producers and operators, Anthony becomes the

first unaffiliated President of the Chamber in its history. Anthony was previously associated

with Barrick Niugini Limited but ended his association in May after the finalisation of the

Porgera Framework Agreement which paved the way for restart of the mine.

Mr Richard Kassman, now serves as Senior Vice President, with Mr Leon Buskens as Vice

President of the Chamber.
