Porgera

Tucked into the rugged highlands of Papua New Guinea’s Enga Province, Porgera is a place whose character is shaped by steep terrain and large-scale gold mining. The settlement lies in the Porgera River catchment, in an interior region of ridges and valleys far from the country’s coastal cities. The Porgera Gold Mine began production in 1990 and has given this remote area an important place in Papua New Guinea’s mining economy. Roads, services and everyday movement are closely tied to the mountain environment and the mine’s long presence.
