Damang Mine Takeover: E&P Wins The Race …Secures 93.15% To Beat Competitors
Engineers and Planners Company Limited (E&P) secured 93.15% to beat competitors. This followed a rigorous and competitive evaluation process conducted by the Minerals Commission. The tender initially attracted four firms.
E&P's position was strengthened by prior endorsement from Gold Fields. In a letter dated November 11, 2025 the company described E&P as highly experienced and well-acquainted with the Damang Mine's operational environment. E&P has served as the primary mining contractor at Damang since 2016. E&P's ambition to take over the Damang Mine dates back to 2022 when it began exploring acquisition opportunities.
In March 2024, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources issued a "no objection" letter to a potential transaction, subject to final approval. The government's decision not to renew Gold Fields' lease for Damang has further shaped developments. The Minister cited the company's failure to meet key regulatory requirements, including timely renewal application, sustained investment, and credible long-term plans.
