It restarted operations on December 22, 2023, under a new 20-year Special Mining Lease (SML 13) and a new ownership structure, with Barrick Gold Corporation holding an indirect 24.5% interest. The first gold pour since the restart was expected in Q1 2024.
Production
Production overview - 2019: gold 284000 oz; 2009: gold 572595 oz, silver 94764 oz.
Processing
The processing plant has a capacity of approximately 6 million tonnes per year. The process involves crushing and grinding, followed by flotation to recover a sulphide concentrate. This concentrate is then treated with pressure oxidation and a conventional carbon-in-pulp (CIP) cyanide leaching circuit to recover gold. The plant also includes a gravity recovery circuit.
Equipment
The open pit mining fleet has included O&K RH200 shovels and Caterpillar 789 haul trucks. In early 2025, an order was placed for seven new Sandvik surface drill rigs, including four DR410i rotary blasthole drills and three Leopard™ DI650i down-the-hole drills, to replace an aging fleet.
Expansion
The Porgera mine was placed on care and maintenance in April 2020. Following negotiations, a new agreement was reached, and the mine officially restarted operations on 22 December 2023. A New Porgera Progress Agreement (NPPA) was signed in early 2023, confirming the commitment of all parties to reopen the mine. The new ownership structure is designed to provide a greater share of the economic benefits to PNG stakeholders, who are expected to receive 53% of the overall economic benefits over the life of the mine.
