Okvau Gold

International

In 2020, MACA was awarded the mining services contract at the Okvau Gold project in Cambodia, providing load and haul and drill and blast services.

Our international division, MACA OPMS, currently operates in Cambodia, southeast Asia, drawing on overseas experience the company had gained in Brazil and expanding MACA’s presence in the gold sector.

Alongside contracted scope of works, the team provided extensive pre-production mining, built roads, a tailings storage facility, workshop, warehouse, explosives manufacturing plant and various other associated infrastructure works.

Despite the challenges of operating during the wet season, the team remained on schedule, putting our client on track for the first gold pour in June 2021; Cambodia’s first gold bar.

MACA OPMS is proud to have a large workforce of local people with an active presence in surrounding communities.
