Ok Tedi Mining Limited (OTML) is a large-scale, cost-competitive producer of copper concentrate in Papua New Guinea.
Ok Tedi Mining Limited directly employs nearly 2,000 people; more than 95 per cent of these are Papua New Guineans.
The company operates mining, milling and shipping facilities in the country's Western Province.
Development of the mine took nearly eight years and cost $US1,400 million.
Production of gold ore began in 1984. Copper concentrate production began in 1987.
In 2007, Ok Tedi's export earnings accounted for 32 per cent of PNG's total export earnings.
52 per cent of OTML's profits are invested on behalf of the people of the Star Mountains, the Western Province, and Papua New Guinea.
