MACA has secured a two-year contract extension with Emerald Resources at the Okvau Gold Mine in Cambodia, extending the partnership through to February 2030.
The $170 million extension will see MACA continue to deliver mining operations at Okvau, including mine development, drill and blast services, mining overburden and ore, and associated mining support services.
MACA secured the original contract in 2020 and has since developed a strong relationship with Emerald through a shared commitment to safety, operational excellence, capability and community development, and sustainable value creation.
Since production began, the operation has produced more than 500,000 ounces of gold, reflecting its focus on safe production and workforce capability.
Thiess Group Executive – Australia West David Greig said the extension reflects the strength of the partnership between Emerald and MACA.
“From early development and construction through to start-up and steady-state production, MACA has worked closely with Emerald to help establish Cambodia’s first large-scale gold mine.
“Okvau demonstrates the important role mining can play in creating long-term employment opportunities, developing local capability and contributing to regional communities. We are proud to support Emerald’s continued success in Cambodia.”
The contract extension supports the continued growth of MACA’s operations in the gold sector.
