Bumi Resources group mining expansion

Overview

The Bumi Resources group is pursuing strategic expansion and diversification into gold, copper, and critical minerals.

In early October 2026, directors at PT Bumi Resources Minerals Tbk (BRMS) increased their shareholdings, signaling confidence in the company’s growth. This growth is linked to the development of an underground gold mine in Palu and plans to increase plant capacity from 500 to 2,000 tons of ore per day, with high-grade projects expected to begin operations by mid-2027.

By late October 2026, PT Bumi Resources Tbk (BUMI) expanded its international footprint by acquiring the Australian gold and copper company Mount Margaret Mining Pty Ltd for US$22 million. This acquisition, completed through its subsidiary Bumi Resources Australia Pty Ltd, follows a series of other Australian acquisitions intended to transition the company’s portfolio beyond the coal sector.
