35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference summary
21 Jul, 2026Strategic growth and portfolio overview
Production is set to grow from 500,000 oz gold equivalent to 900,000 oz by 2027, driven by two new multi-decade assets with significant gold, copper, and zinc exposure.
Combined company holds over 25 million ounces in measured and indicated resources, with an average mine life exceeding 13 years and several assets expected to operate for decades.
Operations span Canada, Greece, and Türkiye, with ongoing exploration and expansion projects, including new discoveries and plant expansions.
McIlvenna Bay and Skouries are set to begin production in 2024, providing immediate growth and diversification.
The company is the only operator in Greece and has a strong track record of delivering on acquisitions and expansions.
Asset development and operational updates
Lamaque mine has grown to seven times its acquisition value, with new ore bodies discovered and a long production runway.
Olympias mine is expanding, with three ore bodies open to depth and new discoveries supporting future growth.
Kışladağ and Efemçukuru in Türkiye continue to deliver steady production, with Kışladağ's mine life likely to be extended and Efemçukuru maintaining consistent output.
Skouries is nearing completion, with a minor delay due to equipment issues, and is expected to deliver significant free cash flow from copper byproducts.
McIlvenna Bay is on track for first production by end of March, with scalable output and long-term expansion potential.
Financial performance and capital allocation
Estimated annualized free cash flow for the combined company is around $2.1 billion, with a free cash flow yield of approximately 20%.
$1.3 billion in cash and equivalents and net debt of $225 million provide a strong balance sheet to support ongoing projects and expansions.
Share buybacks of $200 million were executed last year, with continued buybacks and the first dividend planned for this quarter.
Capital investments focus on expanding production capacity, including new processing facilities and tailings management at Lamaque and Kışladağ.
Growth capital is expected to trend down after current investments, with studies underway to further expand plant capacity.
