Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design, engineering, and project delivery, has been selected by St. Augustine Gold & Copper Ltd. to provide study and engineering services for the Kingking Copper-Gold Project.

Kingking is a major greenfield mining development in the Municipality of Pantukan, Davao de Oro Province, on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits, with 960 million t of reserves. Stantec will deliver integrated, pit-to-port, sustainable solutions for the estimated US$2.37-billion project.

“The St. Augustine Gold and Copper Ltd. team selected Stantec for the Definitive Feasibility Study based on their multidimensional project capability and experience, which the Kingking project requires,” said Andy Russel, Kingking project director. “We look forward to Stantec being an integral part of delivering the Kingking project on schedule and on budget.”

Mining to support a sustainable future

As a significant source of copper and gold, Kingking represents an important step toward supporting the world’s shift to low-carbon technologies and an evolving energy infrastructure.

“The Kingking project is a great example of how we bring together the best of our global experience to support our clients through the entire mining life cycle,” said Carl Kopke, regional director of Energy & Resources at Stantec. “It’s a privilege to contribute to a project of this scale and significance, and one that aligns with our commitment to sustainable development and responsible resource delivery.”
