Posted on 6 Sep 2024

Macmahon Holdings Limited says it has been selected by PT Citra Palu Minerals (CPM), a subsidiary of PT Bumi Resources Minerals Tbk, as the mining services contractor for the Poboya gold project in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The scope for Macmahon will include open-cut mining activities including drilling, loading, hauling, equipment maintenance and mine site development. Macmahon will also work with CPM to explore various options to develop its mines in the future.

The contract has commenced and is expected to complete in September 2026, adding approximately $54 million to Macmahon’s secured order book, with minimal capital expenditure expected to be incurred during the period.

Macmahon CEO and Managing Director, Michael Finnegan, said: “We are delighted to be selected by CPM as the mining contractor for its Poboya gold project in Indonesia which will add to our secured work in hand. Indonesia presents a great landscape for us to grow, given our existing relationships and strategy to work with preferred partners that have world-class projects. I would like to thank the Macmahon team who have worked closely with our client over the past 12 months to build a strong relationship and support the development of their Poboya gold project. We are excited about the future growth prospects of this project.”
