14 Jul, 2026Strategic growth and portfolio overview
Production is set to grow from 500,000 to 900,000 gold equivalent ounces by 2027, driven by two new multi-decade assets with significant copper, zinc, and gold exposure.

Olympias mine expansion will complete in Q3, with ramp-up to commercial production by year-end.
Skouries is nearing completion, with a minor delay due to equipment issues; production is expected this year.
McIlvenna Bay will achieve first production by the end of March, with significant scalability potential.
