Investor presentation summary
13 Oct, 2026Project profile and economics
Base case forecasts 871koz Au over a 13.1-year mine life at a recovered grade of 4.28g/t; reserves are 604koz and total resources 6.1Moz, on a 100% basis.
TGME is held 74% by the South African subsidiary; the project is in Mpumalanga’s historic goldfields, which have produced 6.7Moz Au.
At the Revised Feasibility Study’s average gold price assumption of USD2,884/oz, forecast AISC is USD1,181/oz, post-tax FCF USD933m and post-tax NPV10 USD455m.
Post-tax NPV10 sensitivity is USD490m at USD3,000/oz gold and USD911m at USD4,500/oz; breakeven gold price is USD1,323–1,503/oz.
Mine plan and growth potential
Annual production target is 90–120koz, with modular plant design supporting a pathway to 160kozpa; the plant is designed for expansion to 90ktpm.
Beta is planned to start first, with 18 months of pre-development before stoping; Rietfontein mining is scheduled to start in Q4 2028, followed by production growth from CDM and Frankfort.
Rock dumps and plant tailings are planned as early feed while Beta develops; free-milling ore is expected to achieve 88–96% CIL recoveries through the 45kt/month oxide plant.
The 620km² goldfield includes 43 historic mines, with four in the current mine plan; 3Moz of resources sit outside the plan, with exploration and drilling intended to advance growth targets.
Plant construction and path to production
Plant construction was 72% complete at 30 September 2026, with USD39m spent; commissioning is targeted for Q4 2026 and first gold for Q1 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.
NMS Africa’s three-stage crushing and screening plant contract was executed, with delivery expected in October; site construction was reported on budget and on track for Q4 2026 commissioning.
Key contracts cover Eskom power, civil works, crushing, ball mills, plant equipment, thickeners and diesel; the Rand Refinery gold offtake agreement was expected before commercial production but was not yet executed.
USD102m is the initial development capital required to reach first gold at Beta, excluding expected income from rock dumps and the tailings storage facility.
