Investor presentation summary
9 Jul, 2026Project overview and resource base
Apollo Hill is a large-scale gold development in Western Australia with a 2.83Moz Au mineral resource (174Mt @ 0.51g/t Au), 77% in Measured & Indicated categories as of June 2026.
Maiden ore reserve stands at 1.59Moz Au (104.6Mt @ 0.47g/t Au), with strong resource-to-reserve conversion (79%).
The project is 100% owned, covers ~1,000km², and is strategically located in a prolific gold province.
Near-term plans include a reserve upgrade and delivery of a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) in 2026.
Mining and processing approach
Bulk open-pit mining with low strip ratio (2.39:1) and thick ore zones, using large equipment and 10m benches.
Simple metallurgy with free gold in quartz, enabling efficient heap leach processing and low reagent use.
Heap leach column tests show +78% recovery in fresh rock and 86% in oxide/transitional ore at 8mm crush.
PFS uses 73.7% recovery and a 160-day stacking schedule, with low cement, lime, and cyanide consumption.
Financial highlights and economics
Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) NPV (8%) is A$973M at A$4,300/oz gold, with a 14-year mine life and IRR of 51%.
Project EBITDA totals A$2.5B, free cash flow exceeds A$1.9B, and capital payback is 2.3 years.
C1 cash cost is A$2,369/oz (US$1,534/oz), AISC is A$2,464/oz (US$1,600/oz), and average annual production is 106koz.
Capex is A$472M, with a 10Mtpa plant and infrastructure designed for efficiency and rapid payback.
Sensitivity analysis shows significant NPV and IRR upside at higher gold prices.
