The Simberi gold mine is located on Tabar Island in New Ireland province. It is owned by Allied Gold of Australia and operated by the Simberi Gold Mine Company.

The mine attracted considerable media attention in 2010 when 14 Fijian nationals were arrested at the mine site and later deported. It was alleged they had been employed by Allied Gold as mercenaries to defend the mine against landowner protests over environmental damage. The National Court in Port Moresby ordered their deportation after it was found the 14 men were working illegally in the country - Fiji Times Online
