He made the clarification in response to assertions by East Sepik Governor Allan Bird that up to 18 Papua New executive Mike Johnston says. Johnston said that the company was working with its financial advisers to find the additional financing.
During a recent meeting with the Mining Minister Johnson Tuke, Johnston said: “For the project, the final capital we need to raise an additional roughly about US$250 million.

Meanwhile, the company is confident that the Solwara 1 project will go ahead as planned. Johnston said the project is set for production next year.
