Noosa Mining Conference 2026 summary
23 Jul, 2026Portfolio and Strategic Overview
Portfolio includes significant copper, zinc, and precious metals, benefiting from recent price increases.
Holds two large copper endowments in Australia, supporting over 10-year mine lives and significant exploration upside.
Group mineral resources total 2.3Mt copper, 2.2Mt zinc, 1.2Moz gold, and 73Moz silver as of 31 December 2025.
Both assets are in low-risk jurisdictions and offer organic growth and exploration potential.
Copper accounted for 59% of 2025 group revenue, with zinc, gold, and silver providing additional exposure.
Golden Grove Operational and Financial Performance
Golden Grove features 63 million tons in mineral resources and over three decades of production history.
Mine plan optimization and infrastructure investments aim to enable mining of high-grade ore sources from end 2026.
From 2023-2025, EBITDA increased by 345% and unit costs fell by 11% despite inflation.
Progressive ramp-up from new ore sources is expected to increase ore mined by ~25% and improve average grades.
Ongoing investment in surface infrastructure supports operational improvements.
Exploration and Resource Extension
Both Golden Grove and Capricorn Copper have a strong track record of resource extension through drilling.
Resource extension drilling at Golden Grove continues to deliver high-grade results, supporting long-term mine life.
Notable intercepts include 20m at 2.8% copper and 30m at 17% zinc, enabling future cost efficiencies.
Golden Grove’s Gossan Valley and Cervantes targets remain open at depth, with ongoing drilling planned from underground platforms.
Capricorn Copper’s Esperanza South and Woolly targets show high-grade intercepts and remain open for further exploration.
