Bougainville Copper ( (AU:BOC) ) has shared an announcement.

Bougainville Copper has concluded a strategic review to identify an international partner to help redevelop the Panguna Mine, selecting China’s CMOC Group as its preferred mining partner due to its experience in large-scale copper projects in developing economies. However, the Autonomous Bougainville Government, which controls 72.9% of Bougainville Copper’s shares, has rejected the board’s recommendation and instead favours India’s Lloyd Metals & Energy, creating uncertainty over the future structure and control of the Panguna project as Bougainville Copper and CMOC lobby for political endorsement ahead of an upcoming Bougainville cabinet meeting.
