Mining Operations and Exploration
OK Underground Mine is in steady-state production at ~40,000oz/year, with ongoing extensional drilling and consistent reserve increases since 2022.
Scotia Underground Mine commenced production in May 2024, ramped to full rate, and is expected to produce ~60,000oz/year, with high potential for further resource growth.
Princess Royal and Gladstone open pits provide near-term production, with Princess Royal targeting 20,000oz @ 2.1g/t in 2025 and Gladstone to follow in early 2026.
Mainfield and Southern Mainfield areas are key growth targets, with high-grade drilling results and rapid rehabilitation of Bullen decline.
