K92 Mining Ltd., operator of the Kainantu Gold Mine in Eastern Highlands Province, is deepening its roots in Papua New Guinea by extending its major sponsorship of the PNG Hunters rugby league team.

 The renewed two-year Gold Partnership, set to run from November 1, 2025, to October 31, 2027, is more than just a sports deal—it’s a statement of long-term commitment to national pride, community development, and youth empowerment.

Building on the achievements of their 2024 collaboration, K92 is not only maintaining its logo on the team’s playing shorts—it is increasing its visibility by incorporating branding on the Hunters' training apparel and utilizing space on stadium signage and digital platforms.

Most importantly, the contract includes broadened opportunities for community involvement, such as access to players for outreach initiatives and corporate social responsibility programs.

For K92 Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. John Lewins, this partnership reflects more than just brand alignment—it’s about shared values.

“We’re proud to support a team that unites the nation and represents the strength and spirit of Papua New Guinea.”

“This partnership allows us to create real, lasting impact beyond the rugby field.”

PNG Hunters CEO Scott Barker echoed the sentiment, noting that the continued support from K92 will boost player development and community outreach, especially in the Eastern Highlands and Morobe provinces.

“K92’s investment helps us build stronger pathways for local talent while keeping the Hunters connected to the communities that support them.”

With this renewed partnership, K92 Mining isn’t just backing a team—they’re championing a movement that celebrates PNG's culture, talent, and future.
