For OZ Minerals' board and management, this is not a drill.

All of a sudden the copper and gold miner has one of the world's biggest and most powerful private equity firms on its register and KKR & Co means business.

Anthony Macdonald is a Chanticleer columnist. He is a former Street Talk co-editor and has 10 years' experience as a business journalist and worked at PwC, auditing and advising financial services companies.

Jake Mitchell is a former Fairfax Media journalist.
