Managed Services re-commences partnership with Porgera Gold Mine after five years.
Barrick’s New Porgera Limited (NPL) in Papua New Guinea has successfully gone live on the MINEMAN system, becoming the 11th mine site added to the Barrick MINEMAN platform.
This implementation also marks the recommencement of the partnership between Porgera and the MINEMAN Managed Services team following a five‑year hiatus.
Background
MINEMAN originally partnered with Porgera Gold Mine in late December 2015, when Porgera and MINEMAN Managed Services went live managing containerised gold concentrate shipments for the Porgera Joint Venture (PJV) concentrate export project.
This partnership continued until 31 March 2021, following completion of the final concentrate parcels in transit after the mine entered Care and Maintenance on 30 April 2020.
Operations resumed in Q1 2024 under the new ownership structure of New Porgera Limited, a joint venture owned 51% by PNG stakeholders and 49% by Barrick Gold and Zijin Mining. The site recommenced production with doré bars in April 2024.
The Project
In August 2025, New Porgera Limited engaged MINEMAN to integrate the operation into the existing Barrick MINEMAN instance, with the MINEMAN Managed Services team responsible for managing the marketing and finance administration of doré shipments.
This is the first doré‑only operation supported under a MINEMAN Managed Services agreement.
The system successfully went live in early February 2026.
Scope of Implementation
Doré sales management: Managed Services works closely with site personnel to enter doré bar weight and assay data into MINEMAN, enabling the system to generate invoices, shipping documentation and trading records.
Doré sample tracking: Sample tracking functionality has been implemented to monitor the quantity and location of doré samples held at the mine site.
Automated finance journals: Four finance journals were implemented with an automated approval workflow. Journals are sent for approval via email and, once approved, transferred via SFTP to Barrick’s SAP environment for automatic loading.
Strategic Outcome
The addition of New Porgera Limited further expands the Barrick group’s use of MINEMAN, bringing the total number of Barrick mine sites operating on the platform to eleven.
The project also highlights the flexibility of the MINEMAN system and Managed Services model, supporting both concentrate and doré operations while integrating seamlessly with Barrick’s corporate finance systems.
The Porgera implementation further strengthens MINEMAN’s long‑standing relationship with Barrick, with the platform now supporting commercial sales operations across multiple commodities and jurisdictions within the group.
