The PNG Resources Golden Expo, hosted by the PNG Chamber of Resources & Energy (PNG CORE), at APEC Haus is free and open to the public from 9AM to 4PM, starting with the opening which will be made by the Deputy Prime Minister John Rosso on the 7th of July 2025. This event aims to invite Papua New Guineans to explore, learn, and celebrate the vital role of the minerals and energy sector in PNG’s development. This national exhibition will showcase how resource projects and the Papua New Guineans working there have helped shape PNG’s economic, social and infrastructure development since independence. Through historical displays, storytelling, and interactive experiences, visitors will trace the journey of the sector from early exploration to present times and looking forward to the future. Thirty companies and regulatory bodies will be exhibiting their history and sharing their story of how each contributed in their own way to building PNG over the last fifty years. A historical business exhibition of this scale has never been done before. The Expo will highlight the contributions of landmark projects such as Panguna, Ok Tedi, Misima Porgera, Kutubu, Lihir, Hidden Valley, Simberi, Kainantu PNG LNG, and others, while also sharing the personal stories of the people and communities behind them. PNG CORE President Anthony Smaré said that this exhibition honors the pioneers, workers, landowners, community leaders, public servants and companies who have built PNG through the development of PNG’s resource sector. “It’s a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come and to inspire future generations to step up to take the industry and PNG further into the future.” The PNG Resources Golden Expo is free and open to the public for three weeks in which families, schools, and community groups are invited to attend. With daily activities such as school visits, inter school debates and engaging displays, the Expo offers a unique opportunity for all Papua New Guineans to connect with the industry that has helped build the nation. This month-long celebration begins with the PNG Resources Golden Exhibition from July 7 to July 31 at APEC Haus. Key events include the Supplier Development Forum (July 10), Resources Career Fair (July 17–18), Charity Golf Day (July 25), CANCONEX (July 28– 30), and the PNG Resources Summit (July 31). Moreover, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how mining and energy projects will continue to shape the country’s future for the next decade and beyond. It offers a window into the past and a door to the future, inspiring communities to envision a prosperous path forward. “We encourage everyone to come and be part of this national celebration.” “This is your story, your history, and your future, join us in celebrating the sector that continues to shape Papua New Guinea.”
