Management said the Stage 3 and Stage 4 expansions are fully funded.
• Expansion enablers are progressing, including ventilation upgrades, new mining fronts, larger haul trucks, paste-fill facilities, and road and river-crossing improvements. Stage 3 targets 300,000 AuEq ounces per year at run rate, while Stage 4 is expected to lift capacity above 400,000 AuEq ounces and target expanded plant commissioning in late 2027.
• Exploration results continued to indicate substantial growth potential, particularly at Arakompa, where 100 holes have now been reported and high-grade veins, bulk-tonnage mineralization, and porphyry-style copper-gold targets remain open. A maiden resource estimate for Arakompa is planned for the second half of 2026.
• Costs remain elevated during the Stage 3 expansion, with Q2 all-in sustaining costs of $1,376 per AuEq ounce on a by-product basis and $1,529 on a co-product basis. Management expects economies of scale and completion of the expansion to reduce costs, but execution of numerous infrastructure projects remains important to that outlook.
