Agincourt Resources Announces Northward Development Following Biodiversity Advisory Panel’s Final Decision And Conditions

Nov 27, 2025

Following a two-year pause for extensive consultations and analysis, PT Agincourt Resources (PTAR) will proceed with the development of a 50 ha pit in Tor Ulu Ala (TUA), an area to the north of the current footprint of the Martabe gold mine. Work on an access road to TUA began in early November 2025. Separately, PTAR will continue with the construction of a new dry Tailing Management Facility to the west of the mine.

This is the final phase of land development at the Martabe mine, with mining operations expected to end in 2034-2035, following which the entire ~900 ha mining site will be restored.

The development is subject to stringent biodiversity and orangutan habitat protection measures, including intensive monitoring, maintenance of connectivity between orangutan habitats, assurance of water quality, and progressive rehabilitation and restoration of the land. In addition, PTAR is spearheading two major conservation action projects, comprising a ~2,000 ha on-site conservation zone around the mine site and preparation for a ~3,700 ha offset project to produce verifiable net gains for the orangutan population.
