A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
UNDERPINNED BY A MINERAL RESOURCE OF SCALE, HIGH-CONFIDENCE,
AND WITH ADDITIONAL GROWTH POTENTIAL YET TO BE UNLOCKED
SIGNIFICANT 2025 MINERAL RESOURCE UPDATE1
•
Unconstrained MRE grows to 2.0Moz @ 1.07g/t Au.
•
Pit-constrained MRE delivers 1.82Moz @ 1.10g/t Au with more than 60% of the Resource Indicated.
•
Improved ounce per vertical metre profile supports future mine design.
ATTRACTIVE METALLURGICAL TESTWORK2
•
Excellent average gold recovery of ~95% from Ternera
composite samples at large 125 μm grind size.
•
Low cyanide consumption and highly-favourable
comminution characteristics.
NEW SCOPING STUDY OUTCOMES DUE
▲ Expanded and upgraded MRE.
▲ Met demonstrates low reagent consumption.
▲ Highly-favourable gold price environment.

NEW METALLURGY ENHANCES PREVIOUS OUTCOMES
TERNERA SAMPLES HIGHLY AMENABLE TO CONVENTIONAL CIP PROCESSING
KEY OUTCOMES
• Overall average recoveries of 95%.
• Gravity recoveries of 41%.
• Tests show highly consistent performance
across both composite and master samples.
• No deleterious elements or preg-robbing.
• Ore is siliceous, brittle and fractures easily at
coarse crushing size of 125 μm.
• Low variability across composites, providing
confidence to support advanced levels of
technical studies.
HIGH RECOVERIES DELIVERED WITH VERY
LOW REAGENT CONSUMPTION AND
COARSE GRIND SIZE
• Excellent average gold recovery of
95% from Ternera composite samples
at coarse 125 μm grind size.
• Low (<0.2 kg/t) cyanide consumption
and highly-favourable comminution
characteristics.
