On May 4, MacMahon signed an agreement with AMNT to provide mining services at the latter’s Batu Hijau mine in Sumbawa, which produced 798,000 ounces of gold and 216,363 tons of copper last year.
Under the agreement, MacMahon will acquire moving mining equipment from AMNT. In return, it will issue around 954 million new shares priced at 203 Australian cents, equal to 44.3 percent of its enlarged share capital, for Singapore-based Amman Mineral Contractors, which is indirectly owned by AMNT.

During the first quarter of 2017, Medco booked US$210.26 million in net oil and gas sales, up 60.7 percent year-on-year. It recorded $43.05 million in net profit, marking a more than threefold increase from the $10.2 million earned in the same period last year.
