Investor update summary
22 Sep, 2026Portfolio overview and strategy
Focused on North American gold and copper assets, with two operating mines: Mount Milligan (B.C.) and Öksüt (Turkey), and a deep pipeline including Goldfield (Nevada) and Kemess (B.C.).
Molybdenum assets (Thompson Creek, Langeloth) are being advanced, with strong market demand and strategic value.
Strong balance sheet with over $450 million in cash and $1 billion in liquidity, fully funding development projects without external financing.
Active share buyback program and consistent dividend payments for nearly seven years.
Operational and financial performance
Q2 production: 70,000 oz gold and 13 million lbs copper; Mount Milligan and Öksüt both tracking at or above guidance.
Mount Milligan generated $195 million free cash flow in H1; Öksüt production guidance increased due to strong performance.
Costs remain well managed, with hedging strategies offsetting inflationary pressures; both mines trending toward lower end of cost guidance.

Goldfield construction progressing well, first production expected in two years, with exploration potential for further growth.
Kemess PEA shows 15-17 year mine life; PFS due mid-next year, leveraging existing infrastructure for lower risk.
