Initial 10-year mine life with significant district-scale upside across a 3,000km² landholding.
Ongoing 54,000m multi-rig drilling program targets near-term resource growth and mine life extension.
Multiple expansion pathways include open pit, underground, and satellite deposits.
Project development and strategy
Open pit operation with conventional CIL processing and a targeted first gold pour in mid-2028.
Final Investment Decision (FID) is targeted for Q4 2026, with early site works and key hires already underway.
Accommodation village construction is progressing, with first rooms available by September 2026.
Land access and community agreements are secured, and government engagement is ongoing.
Project footprint designed to minimize environmental impact, with integrated waste management and priority regulatory support.
Resource growth and exploration
Drilling campaign focuses on extending mineralization, converting resources to reserves, and testing high-priority regional targets.
Recent intercepts demonstrate strong potential for open pit and underground resource growth, including high-grade zones.
In-fill drilling results are consistent with geological models and are expected to enhance and de-risk future production.
Underground resource expansion is underway at Datatine and Jinkas, targeting high-grade lodes and down-plunge extensions.
Regional exploration targets satellite deposits, with Nanicup Bridge showing thick gold lodes and potential for a maiden resource.
