K92 Mining Inc.
K92 Mining Inc. is a Canadian-headquartered gold, copper, and silver producer engaged in the operation and expansion of the Kainantu Gold Mine in the Eastern Highlands province of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The company's mission centers on delivering value through low-cost production and strategic exploration, while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability and community impact. Its corporate headquarters are located in Vancouver, Canada.
K92 Mining's primary asset is the Kainantu Gold Mine, a high-grade, low-cost underground operation situated in a region known for Tier 1 deposits. The company primarily produces gold, copper, and silver, and is actively involved in the exploration and development of additional mineral deposits in the vicinity, including the Blue Lake and Arakompa projects. Since acquiring the Kainantu project from Barrick Gold in 2014 and restarting operations in late 2016, K92 has consistently expanded its production capacity.
Under the leadership of CEO John Lewins, K92 Mining has achieved significant milestones, including record annual net cash balance, revenue, net earnings, and operating cash flow in 2025. The company successfully completed the construction and commissioning of its Stage 3 expansion process plant in October 2025, under budget, and has plans for a Stage 4 expansion by late 2027, aiming to become a Tier 1 mid-tier producer. K92 Mining was recognized with the prestigious Thayer Lindsley Award for Best Global Discovery in 2021, highlighting its exploration success and market positioning.
