Responsible Mining

"At K92 Mining, we have a strong focus on the prosperity and development of Papua New Guinea and local communities through socially responsible mining. We believe this is achieved through safe and environmentally responsible mining; strong community engagement; investing in PNG’s future through education and training; providing infrastructure and services development, and; providing employment and economic opportunities for Papua New Guineans.

We are very proud that over 95% of our employees are PNG nationals, of which a majority are from our local landowners. Our workforce also has one of the best safety records in all of Australasia, which we believe is a testament to the dedication and strong work culture of our employees. In 2022, we have continued to create employment opportunities through sequentially commissioning our Stage 2A Plant Expansion. We are also concurrently advancing our next stages of growth with the Integrated Development Plan evaluating Stage 3 and Stage 4 Expansions. K92 is proud to be the largest mineral explorer in Papua New Guinea, with a major focus on investing to unlocking its resource potential for future generations."

- CEO and Director, John Lewins
