Rio Tinto exits PNG, gives away copper-gold mine with $51bn in reserves

Mining giant Rio Tinto (LON, ASX:RIO) has given away a 54% stake in a Papua New Guinean copper and gold mine, which has reserves estimated to be worth $51 billion.

The decision to hand back the shares in its subsidiary Bougainville Copper Limited (ASX:BOC) to an independent trustee, follows a company review of the asset that was triggered by the Bouganville government’s pressure to restart mining at Panguna or give it up.

“Our review looked at a broad range of options and by distributing our shares in this way we aim to provide landowners, those closest to the mine, and the people of Bouganville a greater say in the future of Panguna,” Chris Salisbury, Rio’s copper and coal chief executive said in a statement.

The trustee, noted Rio, will manage the distribution of its shares between the autonomous Bouganville government and the PNG government, providing them with a platform to work together on options for the resource.

Two days before a potential historical default, Puerto Rico Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla made it clear that the commonwealth won’t pay bondholders even as Congress votes on a bill allowing the island to restructure its $70 billion in debt.

“On July 1, 2016, Puerto Rico will default on more than $1 billion in general obligation bonds, the island’s senior credits protected by a constitutional lien on revenues,” Garcia Padilla wrote in a editorial posted on a CNBC website.

The lapse will mark the first time the U.S. territory has failed to pay what it owes on general-obligation debt, a $13 billion swath that its constitution says has the top claim to the government’s funds. Garcia Padilla previously said the commonwealth couldn’t raise enough to cover what’s owed to bondholders even if he shut down the government. The island has about $2 billion in principal and interest payments due Friday.

“All the efforts up until now have already damaged relations with investors,” said Daniel Solender, who oversees $19 billion, including Puerto Rico securities, as head of municipals at Lord Abbett & Co. in Jersey City, New Jersey. “By taking a step to break the constitution, it makes it more definitive.”

The default signals the depths of the crisis on the island, which had been tapping whatever funds it could to avoid missing payments on securities backed by the strongest legal pledge. The escalating strain prompted Congress to create a bill that would give Puerto Rico the ability to cut its debt and put a hold on bondholder lawsuits that could jeopardized its ability to pay for schools, police officers and health care. The Senate voted 68-32 Wednesday morning on the measure, setting up a final-passage vote as soon as this evening.

Darn Tootin!

Re: Puerto Rico Debt … that’s a slippery slope. How can Congress deny the states and big cities aid now? Better crank up those presses! Terrible decision IMO.

The lawmakers in the states must be thinking “Let’s go ahead and spend that money the Feds will bail us out.”

Senate passes Puerto Rico “Debt Relief” Bill (aka bailout) and sends to Obama for signature.

This should open the floodgates for the likes of Illinois and CA. at taxpayer expense. Republicans buckle to the money power yet again.

Knowing that Soros is funding many of those protestors at Trump meetings, I cannot help but wonder if Soros or like kin are stirring up the pot of low information young people in Britain.

Lucara failed to sell that BIGGG Diamond today   …its going back to the Vault in Botswanna  or somewhere where its safe .

I remember when they ate that guy Michael  Rockefeller son of Nelson Rockefeller , in New GUinea ..They sent a search party looking for him  when they got to his last known place… they found a Black native guy smacking his lips and pickin his teeth   ..

Nobody really complained because he was a Rockefeller …Watch for the MOVIE coming out next year by Netflix  another Hollywood Liberal moneymaker ..Obama will no doubt Celebrate Hollywoods  Extravaganza   “The Search for Michael Rockefeller” ….His Father was a Republican …

We’ve heard “The Cartel is in Trouble” so many times over the years that none believe it… until it really happens.  We can only hope it’s true, and time will tell.  Meanwhile… silver is looking like it wants to get out of town fast!  Like the Santa Fe leaving Chicago…
