“Just seven months since its formation, MMG has demonstrated its ability to generate significant value from its current assets and build a solid platform from which to grow the business,” said Chief Executive Officer, Mr Andrew Michelmore.
“China Minmetals has again signified its support for MMG by reinvesting all profit back into the business and clearly signifying its plans to pursue international expansion through ongoing investment in the business.”
Since formation in June 2009 MMG has achieved several highlights including the recommencement of the Sepon copper expansion, targeted exploration to extend mine life at Century, installation of an additional ventilation shaft at Rosebery and a third tailings storage facility at Golden Grove.
“Each of the assets has benefited from MMG’s success in 2009 as we organically grow the assets to extract maximum value,” said Mr Michelmore.
