The fate of the Namosi Copper Mine will be decided once the Prime Minister sights the report on the fact-finding mission to Namosi.
Permanent Secretary for Lands and Mineral Resources Lieutenant Colonel Neumi Leweni and members of the Fiji Military Council held talks with the Namosi Copper Mining Company and Namosi landowners on Tuesday.
Leweni said the objective of the fact-finding tour was to hear out concerns from the mining company and Namosi landowning units.
He added the report is expected to stimulate decisions on the viability of the mine's existence.
According to Leweni, the meeting was for both parties as the landowners were concerned with the mine's impact on the environment.
Leweni said they claim their land and rivers, which they fetch food from, have been affected by the mine.
