Hmmmmmmmm... mis-spelling aside (Edwyn/Edwin),
there does seem to be some effort in Panama, John... palm oil (one of my favorites).
So you're linking the present efforts in Bougainville with the possible palm oil related business in Panama, correct? I don't see any type of gold mining in Panama, so it must be palm oil related.
If your postings are accurate, it would seem Megas et al are trying to develop some kind of international palm oil bizz, imo. Panama and Bougainville sit, geographically at about the same latitude/longitude (whichever) so their climates would correspond, hmmmm, interesting.
Carry on.........
