Investor presentation summary
8 Nov, 2026Project scale and resource
2025 unconstrained Mineral Resource Estimate: 2.0 Moz at 1.07 g/t Au; pit-constrained estimate: 1.82 Moz at 1.10 g/t Au, with 62% Indicated.
Ternera deposit remains open in all directions, with improved continuity and ounces per vertical metre and additional zones identified to the north and south.
The project is positioned as a single open-pit development, with district-scale growth potential and multiple near-deposit and regional exploration targets.
Scoping study and economics
Scoping study outlines a 40.7 Mt open-pit mine at 1.02 g/t Au, 3.0 Mtpa throughput and a 13.5-year evaluation period excluding pre-strip.
Forecast production is 1.26 Moz at 94.5% life-of-mine average recovery; average output is 111 koz p.a. for the first 9 years.
At US$2,750/oz gold, post-tax NPV at 7.5% is US$663M, IRR 51.3% and life-of-mine free cash flow US$1,230M.
Upfront capital is US$247.9M, including pre-strip; life-of-mine average AISC is US$1,216/oz.
At the US$3,300/oz spot case, post-tax NPV at 7.5% is US$966M, IRR 69%, net cash flow US$1,983M and payback 16 months.
Metallurgy and development
Ternera composites achieved average gold recovery of 95% at a 125 μm grind size, with cyanide consumption below 0.2 kg/t and favourable comminution characteristics.
Testwork supports a conventional crush, gravity and carbon-in-pulp process; samples showed consistent performance, with no deleterious elements or preg-robbing tendencies identified.
Planned development work includes technical PFS studies, environmental baseline studies and application submission, mining approvals, DFS engineering, funding assessment, construction and targeted first production across 2025–2029.
Further optimisation includes mine-schedule refinements to prioritise shallow, higher-grade zones and assessment of underground potential below the current pit shell.
