Groups raise concerns about the environmental damage and potential health impacts of the Ramu nickel spill in Papua New Guinea's Basamuk Bay allegedly brought about by the operation of Ramu Nickel-Cobalt Operation, in which Conic Metal Corp. maintains a 8.56% shareholding.

Business and Human Rights Resource Centre invited Conic to respond as to the steps the company is taking to investigate the spill and resultant harm, and to remedy the alleged adverse impacts. The company did not respond.
