The company also reported record quarterly total material mined of 426,012 tonnes and record quarterly ore mined of 228,254 tonnes. Metallurgical recoveries remained strong at 93.8% for gold and 93.2% for copper. These results support the company's reiterated annual production guidance of 190,000 to 225,000 oz AuEq.
Stage 3 Expansion Progress
As of June 30, 2026, 98% of Stage 3 Expansion growth capital has been spent or committed, remaining on budget. Key projects completed or nearing completion include the Second Material Pass, which became operational in June 2026, and the Phase 2 Power Station Expansion to 15.3 MW, completed in May 2026. The Phase 4 Primary Ventilation Upgrade is scheduled for completion in the second half of Q3 2026, expected to nearly double primary mine airflow capacity.
Infrastructure and Fleet Expansion
Significant progress was made on surface haul road and river crossing infrastructure, including the completion of the Baupa Bridge in April 2026. The company is expanding its haulage fleet with six new 60-tonne surface trucks scheduled to arrive in Q3 2026, enabling a tripling in surface haulage payload. These infrastructure improvements are expected to support Stage 3 and Stage 4 Expansion throughput requirements and deliver operating cost efficiencies.
