Investor update summary
3 Jun, 2026Resource upgrade and project scale
Mineral Resource increased by 26% to 2.83 million ounces (174Mt @ 0.51g/t Au), mainly due to extensive drilling and lateral expansion, with only a minor contribution from higher gold prices.
77% of the resource is now in Measured and Indicated categories, surpassing internal targets and providing a robust foundation for the Definitive Feasibility Study and future Ore Reserve updates.
The resource is contained within a single, large Whittle pit shell, supporting efficient bulk mining with a low strip ratio and a footprint exceeding 1.1 km in width.
The upgrade is based on 367 new RC and diamond drill holes (62,385m), with significant additions from shallow and lateral positions, including high-grade intercepts such as 4m at 70g/t gold.
The mine life is expected to extend beyond the previous 14-year estimate, with mineralisation remaining open in multiple directions and ongoing drilling targeting further expansion.
Geological and structural context
Apollo Hill is hosted in the Archean Wiluna-Norseman greenstone belt, controlled by the Keith-Kilkenny Fault system and associated shear zones.
The deposit comprises Main Lode and Footwall (Iris) Lodes, with gold hosted in quartz veins and alteration zones across a 3km strike and up to 1,200m width.
Three principal strain directions (NW-SE, N-S, E-W) focus gold-bearing fluids, with higher grades at their intersections.
Mineralisation is vein-hosted, with grades increasing with vein density and alteration halos of silica, sericite, and pyrite.
Drilling, sampling, and estimation methodology
Resource estimate based on 1,979 RC and diamond holes (299,289m), with 1m sampling intervals and rigorous QAQC protocols.
Estimation uses ordinary kriging with dynamic anisotropy, conditional indicator kriging for internal dilution, and block sizes of 10m x 25m x 10m.
Bulk densities assigned by rock type and oxidation state, with 1,704 core measurements supporting the model.
Metallurgical test work confirms heap leach recoveries up to 73.7% from primary ore, with further optimisation ongoing.
