AIC Mines Limited ( (AU:A1M) ) has provided an announcement.
AIC Mines reported steady output from its Eloise copper mine for the March quarter, producing 3,432 tonnes of copper and 1,692 ounces of gold in concentrate while meeting cost and production guidance. Strong cash generation of $27.7 million was achieved despite weather-disrupted concentrate sales, leaving a stockpile of unsold copper and cash at bank of $31.1 million.
Operationally, underground development reached the Jericho mineralisation, confirming the expected geology and supporting long-term growth plans for the Eloise Project. The processing plant expansion to 1.1 million tonnes per annum remains on track for commissioning in the December 2026 quarter, as combined mineral resources rose 10%, giving Eloise access to its largest-ever resource base and underpinning ongoing drilling across 12 regional targets.
Safety performance improved with no recordable injuries and a lower injury frequency rate, though management stressed broader risk controls beyond headline metrics. Heavy rainfall drove a minor uncontrolled release of mine-affected water and strained storage capacity, prompting the use of evaporators and a temporary emissions licence as the company continues to manage environmental impacts alongside production growth.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:A1M) stock is a Buy with a A$0.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on AIC Mines Limited stock, see the AU:A1M Stock Forecast page.
