Investors look to Orogen IPO with aloofness and some doubts

Article Abstract:

The Papua New Guinean government is set to offer initial public offerings of shares in Orogen Minerals, which is responsible for some of the country's biggest gold, copper and oil projects. However, investors and analysts are not enthusiastic about the offer because of the country's laws that impede investors from making as much profit as they would want to. Furthermore, the fear of shouldering environmental damages as a result of Orogen's activities inhibits many would-be investors from immediately taking advantage of the public offering.
