NEW METALLURGY DELIVERED EXCELLENT RESULTS
TERNERA ORE HIGHLY AMENABLE TO CONVENTIONAL CIP PROCESSING
• Overall recoveries of greater than 95% achieved
with cyanide leaching.
• Ores tested showed highly consistent performance
across both composite and master samples.
• No deleterious elements or preg-robbing
tendencies identified.
• Ore is siliceous, brittle and fractures easily during
crushing, however high BWi values indicate it is not
amendable to autogenous or semi-autogenous
grinding.
• Low variability across composites, providing
confidence to support advanced levels of technical
studies.
17

Refer to ASX announcement dated 29 August 2025
• Excellent average gold recovery of 95% from
Ternera composite samples at large 125 μm

• Contract open pit mining with costs estimated
using a 200-tonne diesel hydraulic excavator
paired with a 120-tonne truck fleet.
• Mine design incorporates staged pits, run-of-mine
pads and waste dumps.
• Open pit schedules were prepared for a three-
stage development plan, targeting delivery of
3.0Mtpa of mill feed at the highest possible grades.
• Process plant design by GR Engineering and
informed by three metallurgical test work
programmes at ALS Metallurgy in Perth.
