PKKP and Rio Tinto Sign Signing Deal for iron ore

PUUTU KUNTI Kurrama and Pinikura (PKKP) entered the indigenous population and mining giant Rio Tinto in the joint management agreement, and set a new standard to participate in heritage and social matters in the mining sector.

The Convention, the central iron ore operations in Rio Tinto, aims to enhance a cooperative relationship that gives priority to the protection of cultural heritage and the environment.

It includes all iron ore operations in Rio Tinto on PKKP lands and enables traditional owners with a greater opinion on their land management.

The deal also provides a framework for exchanging knowledge and sharing decisions, ensuring that important heritage sites are maintained and managed effectively throughout the mining life cycle.

The need for such a partnership was emphasized due to the widespread criticism after the destruction of Juukan Gorge, an event that caused a deep distress of the PKKP community and led to a parliamentary investigation into the laws protection laws in Australia.

The joint management agreement is a response to this, as it guarantees obligations to cooperate from the early stages from exploration to the closure of mines, as shown in the framework of early participation.

“The impact of this agreement is that the traditional PKKP owners will receive certainty that our important places in the country will be protected from mining, while at the same time Rio Tinto will receive certainty about the place where they can develop early in the mine cycle,” said Malik Pinikura, and PKKP Aboriginal Corporation Terry Drage said.

This arrangement not only guarantees the protection of PKKP heritage, but also provides Rio Tinto clarity regarding its operations plans and development plans.

The agreement was completed last month, before the fifth anniversary of the Jukan Gorge accident, and confirming the commitment of Rio Tinto to work with the PKK on rehabilitation of the region, with a focus on preserving its cultural importance.

Moreover, the deal includes strong measures for the active management of sites that will not be affected by mining activities.

These measures include the implementation of protective temporary warehouses, explosion management practices and dueling to protect important sites.
