The Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) was established by virtue of the Mineral Resources Authority Act 2018 as a Statutory Authority mandated to regulate and promote the Mining Industry in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Mining is the largest industry in PNG commonly associated with increasing myriad challenges affecting the entire Mine Cyle; from exploration, mine development, operations, mine closure and corporate social responsibilities. At the MRA, we aspire to be a leading government institution in PNG and an employer of choice. At the heart of our business, our human capital remains our greatest asset. We base our recruitment on the principles of Good Values rather than high academic grades. We recruit for Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Accountability, Dedication, and Integrity. We strive to offer re-warding packages including training for staff to attract and retain best-fitting candidates to serve the Authority, our people and her nation with pride and dignity. The MRA is an equal opportunity employer and currently, there are two female staff who are pursuing their Doctoral (PhD) studies in geology abroad. The MRA is currently seeking expressions of interest from qualified, experienced, and competent candidates for the vacant position.
