Bougainville Copper Limited operates the Panguna copper mine in Papua New Guinea, a significant asset with a historical production capacity of over 200,000 tons of copper per year. The company is currently focused on the potential re-opening of the mine, which has been closed since the civil conflict in the late 1980s, and is positioned to benefit from rising copper prices and increasing global demand for copper in renewable energy applications.
