Ok Tedi Mining Limited (OTML) has committed to purchasing 100 copies of a book written by one of its employees intended for the University of Technology’s (UNITECH) to enrich students.

The book titled “GRADUATE TRAINEES PRACTICAL TIPS for ACCELERATED LEARNING in RELIABILITY ENGINEERING and MAINTENANCE at OK TEDI MINE”, is written by OTML’s Manager Business Improvement, Mr Gilbert Hamambi, and was published by the ReliabilityWeb Inc.

Speaking at the official launch of the book on Monday, July 15th, OTML Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Kedi Ilimbit said, “This book is an exemplary sustainable tool to be used by trainees and graduates at Ok Tedi as well as those in the tertiary institutions in the field of reliability engineering and maintenance.”

He congratulated Mr Hamambi on his achievement saying that while we all have our primary roles, every individual human being is talented and equipped with a different skillset that he/she can use to impact those around him/her in one way or another.

He further added that the donation of the 100 books to Unitech will ensure the graduates are equipped before entering the work force and utilise their skills in an accelerated manner rather than taking time to learn the basic processes physically.

Mr Hamambi’s book is available for sale on Amazon for US$59.99 for the hard copies and US$9.99 for the electronic copies.

OTML is a 100% PNG owned mine and is committed to impacting livelihoods in a sustainable manner for generations to come.
