Overview
The Didipio mine is located in Barangay Didipio, Kasibu, in the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino on the island of Luzon. It is operated by OceanaGold (Philippines), Inc., a subsidiary of OceanaGold Corporation. Following an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Philippine Stock Exchange on 13 May 2024, OceanaGold Corporation holds an 80% indirect interest in the mine. Large-scale open-pit mining was completed in May 2017. Current mining activities are solely from underground operations, which began in 2015, and are supplemented by the processing of surface stockpiles. The underground mining method is longhole open stoping with cemented paste backfill. The operation is governed by a Financial or Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA) with the Philippine government, which was renewed in 2021 for a 25-year term.
Production
Production overview - 2023: gold 138500 oz, copper 14200 t; 2022: gold 113200 oz, copper 14400 t.
Processing
The processing plant uses a conventional SAG mill-ball mill grinding circuit, froth flotation, and a gravity gold recovery circuit. The combined processing rate of underground ore and surface stockpiles is approximately 4.0 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa).
Expansion
A pre-feasibility study is in progress to identify requirements to support an optimised underground mining production rate of approximately 2.5 Mtpa and to evaluate process plant augmentation needs. This study is expected to be completed in 2026. The company is also conducting exploration to expand resources, including at the Napartan prospect located about nine kilometres from the Didipio mine.

Overview
Motheo Copper Mine, including the A4 and T3 open pits, is an operating copper and silver mine in Botswana's Ghanzi District. It commenced commercial production in July 2023 and has an initial mine life of 10 years. The mine employs over 2,000 people and utilizes conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation processes.
Production
Production overview - 2025: copper 58000 t; 2024: copper 427000 t, silver 19800000 oz.
Processing
The processing method involves a central facility with conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation processes to produce a high-quality copper concentrate with a silver by-product. The plant's initial processing capacity of 3.2 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) was expanded, with the operation running at a 5.6 mtpa rate by September 2025.
Equipment
The mining fleet includes Hitachi EX1900 and EX2600s excavators, a Cat 992 wheel-loader, Cat 785 (150-tonne capacity) and Cat 777 (100-tonne capacity) haul trucks, and Cat D10 dozers. The fleet also includes four D10T dozers, two 777 water trucks, and two 18 motor graders.
Expansion
The Motheo operations include the T3 and A4 open pit mines. The development of the A4 open pit is part of an expansion to increase the processing rate to 5.2 mtpa. First ore from the A4 pit was expected in the first quarter of FY2025. The A1 deposit, located about 20 kilometres north-east of the mine, is a development project with the potential to provide an additional source of ore.

Overview
The development plan involves a two-stage construction of an open pit mine and a process plant. Stage one is designed for the lowest capital cost and shortest payback period. Stage two will be an expansion, with the investment decision expected between 2031-2033. The ultimate processing capacity is planned to be 14Mtpa. The processing flowsheet will produce two smelter-grade concentrates (a copper concentrate and a nickel concentrate) and a palladium-platinum-gold doré.
Production
Production overview - 2025: nickel 7000 t, copper 8000 t, cobalt 700 t.
Processing
The processing flowsheet will produce two smelter-grade concentrates (a copper concentrate and a nickel concentrate) and a palladium-platinum-gold doré. A hydrometallurgical process is no longer required.
Expansion
The Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) covers an initial 23-year open-pit mine life, which exploits about half of the Gonneville resource. There is significant potential for expansion through deeper open-pit mining or a large-scale underground operation beyond 2054. Stage two will be an expansion, with the investment decision expected between 2031-2033.
