Mineral Resources Development Company Limited (MRDC) was established in 1975 and is 100% owned by the Government of Papua New Guinea. It was initially established as the State Nominee to acquire the State and Landowner equity interests in mining and petroleum projects and to manage the equity funds for landowner companies from the major resource development areas of PNG. However, the State’s equity has since been transferred to Petromin PNG Holdings Ltd, so the focus of MRDC is now the management of the Landowner equity interests in both mining and petroleum projects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About us )〕 MRDC is governed by a Board of Directors, which is chaired by Simon Tosali, who was appointed in 2004. Since March 2008, the Managing Director of MRDC has been Augustine Mano. In October 2011, Mano’s appointment was terminated by acting Prime Minister Belden Namah, upon allegations that the MRDC had made improper investments under his management. However, Mano was reinstated a week later by Prime Minister Peter O’Neill. ==History== The major interests of MRDC were partially privatised in 1996, through the creation of Orogen Minerals Limited (OML), of which the MRDC holds a 51% controlling shareholding. In April 2002, Orogen merged with Oil Search Limited (OSL), but MRDC retained an 18.1% stake in the new company. OSL is PNG’s largest oil and gas producer. MRDC was again restructured in 2007, with the formation of Petromin PNG Holdings Limited, which took control of the last State asset, the 20.5% equity interest in the Moran Petroleum Project. As a result of this restructuring, MRDC’s chief role became the management of Landowner interests.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mineral Resources Development Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
