The Australian Ambassador travelled around the mine site including the water treatment facility, Social Development and Management Program (SDMP) projects and the underground mine operation of OceanaGold.

OceanaGold Chairman Joey P. Leviste and David Way, Didipio Mine General manager were present during the visit to accompany the ambassador.

MGB Regional Director Engr. Mario A. Ancheta likewise accompanied Ms. Goyler on her visit at the mine site.

On her twitter account, Ms. Goyler said that,” it was great to learn more about responsible mining.”

RD Ancheta on the other hand said, “the visit of the ambassador is a good sign for the mining industry, this specifically tells us that they want to know more about mining.

“It is a good position for us to prove that what we are doing is a good thing,” RD Ancheta said.
