Barminco, the underground mining business unit of Perenti, has finalized discussions regarding the existing five-year mining services contract for the Khoemacau copper mine in Botswana with Khoemacau Copper Mining Proprietary Limited, a subsidiary of MMG.
The continuation of the contract until 30 June 2025 will be on revised terms. Barminco is working to deliver on the current mine plan whilst MMG explores potential expansion opportunities at Khoemacau.
“We are pleased to continue working at Khoemacau. The expansion under consideration has the potential to supply increasing global demand for copper and we are proud to be working with MMG as they assess various future opportunities,” said Mark Norwell, managing director and CEO of Perenti.
Barminco has been operating at Khoemacau since the mine commenced in 2019. MMG acquired the copper-silver mine in November 2023.
