In 1970 Kennecott Copper Corporation made an agreement with the New Guinea Administration granting Kennecott exclusive rights for two years to explore 22,000 square miles located in the central highlands of Papua New Guinea. Kennecott immediately stumbled onto what was initially believed to be the largest copper deposit in the world. This talk will disclose how this was done, how the deposit was finally defined, how the exploration of this huge area was completed and an introduction to the people involved.
