| Misima is a volcanic island in Louisiade Archipelago (Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea). Its area is 260 kmē (100 square miles). It is the most heavily populated island in the archipelago. A gold and silver mine was opened on the island in 1990 and officially closed in 2004. The mine was a joint venture by Placer Dome Inc (owning 80%) and the state-owned Orogen Minerals Ltd. The main town of the island and the seat of the district is Bwagaoia, located on the southeast corner of the island.
Misima has a working airport (two flights weekly to the mainland), a high school (grades 7-10), a small market, a few small stores and a clinic/hospital--all of which are located in Bwagaoia.
The main language of the island is also called Misima, though many residents speak English as well.
