Frieda River made a strong impression at the Papua New Guinea Chamber of Resources and Energy 2025 (PNGCORE) Resources Week Summit, held from 28–31 August at Port Moresby’s iconic APEC Haus. Our presence, led by Project Director Phil McCormack, featured a vibrant information booth with visitors streaming in with questions ranging from, “Where exactly is Frieda River?” to, “What is the Sepik Development Project about?” — giving us the chance to share accurate information and connect with the public about the aspirations of the Sepik Development Project (SDP), FRL’s model for sustainable mineral extraction.
The multi-million-kina SDP comprises the Frieda River Copper-Gold Project, the Frieda River Hydroelectric Project, and the Sepik Power Grid and Sepik Infrastructure Projects. The SDP is environmentally sound, technically appropriate, financially profitable and socially responsible. The SDP will safeguard the ecosystem of the Sepik River.
