ECONOMY
Papau New Guinea is rich in natural resources, including minerals, timber, and fish, and produces a variety of commercial agricultural products. The economy generally can be separated into subsistence and market sectors, although the distinction is blurred by smallholder cash cropping of coffee, cocoa, and copra. About 75% of the country's population relies primarily on the subsistence economy. The minerals, timber, and fish sectors are dominated by foreign investors. Manufacturing is limited, and the formal labor sector consequently also is limited.
Mineral Resources
In 1999 mineral production accounted for 26.3% of GDP. Government revenues and foreign exchange earning depend heavily on mineral exports. Indigenous landowners in areas affected by minerals projects also receive royalties from those operations. Papua New Guinea is richly endowed with gold, copper, oil, natural gas, and other minerals. Copper and gold mines are currently in production at Progera, Ok Tedi, Misima, and Lihir. New nickel, copper, and gold projects have been identified and are awaiting a rise in commodity prices to begin development. A consortium led by Chevron is producing and exporting oil from the Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. In 2001, it expects to begin the commercialization of the country's estimated 22.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves through the construction of a gas pipeline from Papua New Guinea to Queensland, Australia.

7. GEOGRAPHY OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA
geography OF PAPUA new guinea. It's geography time! I can't believe youdon't know this! Why, those pictures were taken in papau new guinea!

GEOGRAPHY OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA It's GEOGRAPHY time! What geographical features can you spot on this map of Papua New Guinea? (Hint: mountains and rivers are two types of geographical features.) Here is Willie the Woodchuck to answer all the questions we might have about Papua New Guinea!!! So, Willie, tell us - Where can we find Papua New Guinea on a world map? Well, now, that's quite simple! You can find Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific. It's an island just south of the equator and a tad bit north of Australia.
Wow, Willie! You're pretty smart. Do you know how big the country of Papua New Guinea is?
As a matter of fact, I do! The total area of Papua New Guinea is 461,690 square kilometers. To help you picture how big this is, think of the state of California. Papua New Guinea is just slightly larger than California.
Willie, we can see that Papua New Guinea is an island, but the map only shows half of the island. Why is that?
Great question! The country of Papua New Guinea only owns the eastern part of the New Guinea Island. The other side of the island belongs to the Indonesian Province called Irian Jaya. Check out these beautiful pictures ~ I wonder where they were taken?

Papau New Guinea (Source of information on this page credited to the CIA's - The World Factbook Background: The eastern half of the island of New Guinea - second largest in the world - was divided between Germany (north) and the UK (south) in 1885. The latter area was transferred to Australia in 1902, which occupied the northern portion during World War I and continued to administer the combined areas until independence in 1975. A nine-year secessionist revolt on the island of Bougainville ended in 1997, after claiming some 20,000 lives.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA HIGHLANDS
'Papuan Wonderland'
The Southern Highlands
The Southern Highlands is an area of Papua New Guinea that was described in 1935 as the 'Papuan Wonderland' by explorer and patrol leader J. G. Hides, one of the first 'outsiders' to
have contact with the main groups living in the area. The description fits; the geography of the area ranges from steaming lowland rain forest to alpine tundra; classical volcanic cones, alluvial fans, gorges, glacial land forms and magnificent lakes.
One such lake is Kutubu, the unspoiled location of the major on-stream oil and gas fields operated by Chevron Niugini. Much of Mendi's development has been as a result of the comparatively recent mineral activity in the area, but in fact the first patrol station was set up in 1937 on Lake Kutubu, serviced by seaplanes, and it was the base from which almost all exploration of the Southern Highlands took place before World War II.
However, economic development of the area only became possible in the 1970's when the Highlands Highway was extended into the province, reaching Mendi in 1974 and Tari not until 1977. Until this time the entire area was cut-off from the outside world so it is one of the least developed and culturally rich areas in the country.
