Investor Presentation summary
17 Nov, 2025Growth and expansion strategy
Achieved rapid, fully funded production growth with Stage 2A expansion completed in May 2023, plant exceeding 500,000 tpa and capable of over 600,000 tpa; Stage 3 and 4 expansions targeting 303koz and 414koz AuEq per year, respectively.
Resource growth of +1,108% M&I and +781% inferred from YE17 to 4Q 2023, with extensive near-resource and regional exploration potential.
Major infrastructure upgrades underway, including a high-speed twin incline, ore pass system, ventilation, and pastefill system to support increased productivity and lower costs.
Stage 3 and 4 expansions are fully financed, with about 70% of growth capital spent or committed by end of 2024.
Workforce expected to grow to ~2,500 as expansions come online, with significant economies of scale anticipated.
Financial position and operational performance
Strong cash position with $120 million plus $20 million restricted cash (available Jan 2025), and $60 million undrawn credit facilities.
Record Q4 and annual production in 2024, exceeding operational guidance, and benefiting from record gold prices.
Downside protected during construction with put contracts at $2,400/oz for 12,500 oz/month over 9 months.
Operational costs expected to decline significantly as expansions progress, with mining costs dropping from $104/t (2024) to $59/t (Stage 4 run-rate), and G&A and processing costs also decreasing per tonne.
After-tax NPV5% for Stage 3 DFS is $680m at $1,900/oz and $1,091m at $2,500/oz; Stage 4 PEA is $2.3b at $1,900/oz and $3.3b at $2,500/oz.
Asset quality and resource base
Kainantu is a high-grade, low-cost, long-life underground mine with a large, high-grade Tier 1 resource, averaging ~11g/t AuEq since commercial production.
Consolidated M&I resources of 8.7 Mt at 8.1 g/t Au (2.3 Moz) and inferred resources of 17.1 Mt at 5.8 g/t Au (3.2 Moz) as of September 2023.
Blue Lake porphyry hosts a maiden inferred resource of 10.8 Moz AuEq (549 Mt at 0.21 g/t Au, 0.23% Cu), open at depth.
Multiple high-priority near-mine and regional exploration targets, including Kora, Judd, Arakompa, Maniape, and A1 porphyry, with ongoing drilling and significant recent discoveries.
Airborne geophysics and drilling have identified extensive untested strike potential and new targets across the 830 km² land package.
