Located amid tropical rainforest in the heart of Papua New Guinea, the Frieda River area is home to one of the biggest undeveloped gold and copper deposits in the Pacific. This book offers an account of local stakeholder strategies as they unfolded at Frieda over forty years. It describes how they attempted to use the complex social situation in the area to develop Frieda's rich gold and copper deposits. The book provides a strong and novel commentary on sustainability and social accountability of the mining industry operating in indigenous territories.

Exploring the social complexities of the Frieda River Project in Papua New Guinea, this book tells the story of local stakeholder strategies on the eve of industrial development, largely from the perspective of the Paiyamo – one of the project’s so-called ‘impact communities’. Engaging ideas of knowledge, belief and personhood, it explains how fifty years of encounters with exploration companies shaped the Paiyamo’s aspirations, made them revisit and re-examine their past, and develop new strategies to move towards a better, more prosperous future.
