Vice President Urges Government to Increase Mine Exploration [Papua New Guinea]
The resources industry in Papua New Guinea contributes a substantial amount to the country’s GDP (around 39%). With large decreases in productivity reported from the 2019 EITI country report, Chamber of Mines and Petroleum Vice-President, Philip Samar has urged the PNG government to increase exploration projects to safeguard the country’s economy.
“For every 1,000 exploration prospects, only 50 will move to advanced exploration followed by only two that will move to feasibility studies and only one will become a mine."
The Prog Rock Royalty That You Might Want to ‘Bend the Knee’ For
Next time you are admiring the musical mastery in Kanye West’s famous song ‘Power’, make sure to throw some homage to one of ‘Warehouse Andy’s’ favs from when lava lamps were the lighting mode of choice for your love shack. From the band that brought you “21st Century Schizoid Man” this month’s official recommendation is the not-so underrated band, King Crimson.
King Crimson is cited as the first progressive rock band of all time and one of the first to explode into mainstream popularity after supporting the Rolling Stones shortly before releasing their first album ‘The Court of the Crimson King’ in 1969.
As the unofficial foundation for the entire genre, these British chaps are well known for experimenting relentlessly, so much so, you can hear them incorporating all sorts of medieval, classical, blues, jazz and funk sounds (just to name a few) into their songs throughout their discography.
If you are looking to break the mould with your casual listening while keeping the intensity and riffs perpetual, “click that link below, pal!"
