About: Lihir Island

An Entity of Type: island, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Lihir Island (a.k.a. Niolam Island) is the largest island in the Lihir group of islands, 22 km long and 14.5 km wide, in Papua New Guinea's New Ireland Province. It consists of a complex of several overlapping basaltic stratovolcanoes rising 700 m above sea level. While the volcanoes are not currently active, geothermal activity is still present. The island is in what was the forearc basin associated with the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North Bismarck Plate. Subduction stopped about 10 million years ago with the collision of the Ontong Java plateau with the subduction zone.

  • Lihir Island (a.k.a. Niolam Island) is the largest island in the Lihir group of islands, 22 km long and 14.5 km wide, in Papua New Guinea's New Ireland Province. It consists of a complex of several overlapping basaltic stratovolcanoes rising 700 m above sea level. While the volcanoes are not currently active, geothermal activity is still present. The island is in what was the forearc basin associated with the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North Bismarck Plate. Subduction stopped about 10 million years ago with the collision of the Ontong Java plateau with the subduction zone. The name Lihir comes from the Patpatar language, cognate of the native name Lir. Niolam, also spelled Nualam or Nuolam, means "big island" (nua "island" + lam "big"). The island is located 900 km (560 mi) NE of Port Moresby. Annual rainfall averages 4,800 mm (190 in); temperature ranges between 19 and 35 degrees Celsius. The population of the Lihir Group increased from 12,570 in 2000 to an estimated 18,000 in 2007. Residents are of Melanesian descent and have predominantly a subsistence lifestyle. Lihirians follow traditional belief systems, although official census records indicate that 99% of the PNG population are Christians, with Catholicism being the largest denomination. Most villages are located on the coastal fringe, although it is thought that originally some villages were located inland but were moved to the coast at the encouragement of missionaries. The economic focal point of the island is the Ladolam Gold Mine. Ladolam represents one of the largest epithermal gold deposits in the world and it is hosted by high-potassic igneous rocks. The mine is operated by Newcrest Mining Limited. The mine holds one of the world's largest gold resources (46 million ounces). Grab samples from the submarine Conical Seamount, located about 8 km south of Lihir Island, contain high gold concentrations of up to 230 g/t Au (avg. 26 g/t, n=40) that are hosted by high-potassic trachybasalts. The mine is located on a geothermically active area and to enable the mine to proceed, steam relief wells have been drilled to release subterranean pressure. The steam has, in part, been captured and is used to operate a 50 MW geothermal power station which generates approximately 25% of the mine's power requirements. Mine tailings are discharged into the sea. The largest settlement on the Island is Londolovit, where most of the expatriate mine employees live. Basic shopping and health care facilities are located there. The local hospital has inpatient and outpatient facilities and provides health care services to both the expatriate and local communities. An airstrip large enough to land a small jet is also located north of Londolovit, at village As is the case in many tropical regions, mosquito-borne viruses are present on the island, as is malaria. Land ownership follows traditional models with land being owned by clans. Insofar as it relates to land ownership, the society is matrilineal with land being passed through the female generations. The land cannot be sold; however, usage rights can be granted. The Island has two largest Primary Schools and a Secondary School Located on the Mining impacted area. The largest of the two Primary schools is Sekunkun Primary School which is on the North Eastern part of the Island. The school has total of over 600 students and 19 teachers. (en)

  • A Ilha Lihir (ou Ilha Niolam ) é uma ilha da Papua-Nova Guiné, a maior do grupo insular Lihir, do qual fazem também parte as ilhas Mali, Mahur, Masahet e Sanambiet, entre outras menores. A ilha tem uma extensão de 22 x 14,5 km e fica a nordeste da província de Nova Irlanda da Papua-Nova Guiné, junto à Melanésia, a cerca de 900 km a nordeste de Port Moresby. A precipitação anual de chuvas é da ordem de 4 800 mm e as temperaturas variam entre 19 e 35ºC. As ilhas formam um conjunto de estratovulcões basálticos que se elevam 700 m acima do nível do mar. Os vulcões não estão hoje em atividade, mas ainda pode ser percebida a presença de atividade geotérmica. A ilha Lihir está localizada num ponto da zona de subducção da placa tectônica do Pacífico com a placa do mar de Bismarck]. A dita subducção se concluiu há cerca de 10 milhões de anos com a colisão do Planalto oceânico de Java com essa subduccção. (pt)
  • Лихир (англ. Lihir Island) или Ниолам (англ. Niolam Island) — крупнейший остров архипелага Лихир. Административно относится к провинции Новая Ирландия, Папуа — Новая Гвинея. Составляет 22 км в длину и 14,5 км в ширину. Состоит из комплекса перекрывающих друг друга стратовулканов, конусы которых достигают высоты 700 м над уровнем моря. В настоящее время вулканы не являются активными, хотя геотермальная активность по-прежнему присутствует. Остров находится на месте бывшего преддугового бассейна в зоне субдукции между Тиоокеанской плитой и Северной плитой Бисмарка. Субдукция прекратилась примерно 10 млн лет назад в результате столкновения с плато Онгонг-Ява. Остров расположен примерно в 900 км к северо-востоку от столицы страны, города Порт-Морсби. Население всего архипелага по данным переписи 2000 года — 12 570 человек; по оценочным данным на 2007 год — около 18 000 человек. Развита золотодобыча (месторождение Лихир — одно из крупнейших в мире по запасам золота). Имеется взлётно-посадочная полоса для небольших самолётов, расположенная в Кунайе, к северу от Лондоловита.
