OPEN DAY

MRA hosted its first Open Day on Friday 30th May 2008. By June 1st, MRA would have completed 12 months of operations. It was a fun filled day with short drama by the funny Watete group and MRA's own Regulatory Operation's Warden & Land Owners.  PNG's Communication company Telikom was the official sponsor and it participated too. Red Cross PNG was invited to raise funds for the needy by selling food and drinks. For almost 2000 people that entered the gate, it was educational, they learnt about MRA and what it does to regulate and manage the nation's mineral resources.
