Investor update summary
6 Nov, 2026Operating performance and outlook
3Q26 production was 7,293t; volumes also included 6,000t of intermediates and 15,000t of low-grade material on a high-grade-equivalent basis. Stoppages disrupted production, which resumed early in 4Q26.
Plant 1 output guidance is 240,000t over the next 12 months and 330,000t in FY27; return to industrial production cadence is targeted for 2027.
Mining ramp-up reached 35kt in 2Q26, 6% above guidance; 60t trucks haul 50% more than the previous fleet, with 75t and 100t trucks planned to increase hauling capacity.
Reprocessing recovers intermediate products, supports circularity and frees high-grade circuit capacity; historical plant output was 68,000t per quarter before mining primarization.
Through Oct. 30, 9,000t of high-grade concentrate had been produced, with 21,000t of 3Q inventory available for 4Q sale.
