K92 Mining operations in Papua New Guinea

Overview

K92 Mining reported strong production results for the third quarter of 2026 at the Kainantu Gold Mine, achieving 49,776 ounces of gold equivalent. This period marked the company’s second-highest quarterly production to date and saw the milestone of one million gold equivalent ounces produced since commercial operations began in 2018.

By late October 2026, the company’s economic impact became more evident as it completed its final scheduled corporate tax installment for the year. Total tax and royalty contributions for 2026 are projected to exceed PGK 1 billion. Prime Minister James Marape characterized the company as an efficient operation providing significant economic returns to the state.

In addition to tax contributions, the company has invested over PGK 3.4 billion in expansion and exploration, generating more than PGK 8.7 billion in export value. Community support initiatives include a PGK 90 million hospital project in Kainantu scheduled for 2027.
