An overseas item from Nine Network Australia looking at the richest goldmine in the world, found in the mountains of Irian Jaya, West Papua New Guinea. Situated in Indonesian territory and mined by an American company, Freeport, with British Australian shareholders, Rio-Tinto, the mine has been a blessing and a curse to native Papuans.
