PCZM is moving from exploration to production, with first concentrate targeted for Q3 2027 and Glencore funding secured.
Okiep Flat Mines project is undergoing drilling and optimisation, aiming to bring production forward and reduce upfront capital.
Exploration pipeline strengthened by participation in the 2026 BHP Xplor accelerator, providing funding and access to global expertise.
