Bougainville Copper Ltd, a materials company specializing in the metals and mining sector, operates a significant open pit mine and processing facility at Panguna on Bougainville Island in the North Solomons Province, Papua New Guinea. The company is known for producing copper, gold, and silver. However, due to militant activity, operations were suspended in 1989. Currently, the mines are managed on a contracted services basis, pending the resumption of production.
The company’s stock is listed on the ASX All Markets, with its currency denominated in AUD. As of February 9, 2026, Bougainville Copper Ltd’s share price closed at A$0.69. This figure is notably below the 52-week high of A$2.53, achieved on October 15, 2025, and above the 52-week low of A$0.30, recorded on April 10, 2025. The market capitalization of the company stands at A$260,690,000.
Financially, Bougainville Copper Ltd faces challenges, as indicated by its price-to-earnings ratio of -54.82, reflecting negligible or negative earnings. Despite this, the price-to-book ratio of 12.5681 suggests that the market values the firm at over twelve times its book value. This valuation may attract value-focused investors, despite the stock’s current downtrend. The steep decline from its 52-week high points to a prolonged weakening in its market position.
As of February 8, 2026, Bougainville Copper Ltd is in a quiet period, with no new significant developments reported beyond a bulletin questioning the company’s outlook. For further information, stakeholders can visit the company’s website at www.bcl.com.pg or contact investor relations.
