LATEST BULLETIN

Issue No 3  |  2026

First launched in 2018, the Bitumen World Bulletin documents the progress, projects, and milestones achieved across the Bitumen World group. Until recently, the Bulletin was produced for internal and limited distribution.

With the release of Issue 4, 2025, the Bulletin is being made publicly available for the first time, reflecting our commitment to transparency and open engagement with clients, partners, and the wider public.

Published quarterly, the Bulletin provides insight into ongoing and completed projects, operational highlights, and the people behind our construction and mining activities. It offers a clear view of the standards, expertise, and dedication that underpin delivery across Bitumen World.

As part of this public launch, we are establishing a digital Bulletin archive. Past editions, dating back to 2018, will be progressively published on our website, creating a comprehensive and accessible record of our journey and growth over time.
