Significant Exploration Momentum and High-Grade Drill Results
2026 exploration budget guided at $31M–$35M (a >50% increase vs 2025). Multiple high-grade intercepts reported (examples: 20.5m @ 14 g/t AuEq; 10.7m @ 10.8 g/t AuEq at K2; Judd intercepts including 5.45m @ 67 g/t and 3.9m @ 56.75 g/t AuEq). Arakompa step-out returned porphyry-style mineralization of 690m @ 0.3% CuEq (including 395m @ 0.38% CuEq). Targets remain open and near-mine/deep drilling programs are ongoing.
Key Infrastructure Enablers Advancing
Completed Puma Vent incline breakthrough and internal ramp; ventilation increased from ~200 m3/s to ~350 m3/s (reported in-call). Primary standby power station (10.3 MW) commissioned, reducing outages; upgrade to 15.3 MW progressing on schedule. Twin Incline functioning and will enable 60-tonne trucks (first trucks expected mid-2026 after river crossing upgrades).
Commodity Downside Protection and Capital Allocation
Purchased put option contracts through end-2026 covering 10,000 oz/month at $3,500/oz strike (described as insurance, not a hedge) while retaining upside exposure. Growth capital for 2026 guided at $100M–$108M (Stage 3: $25M–$28M; Stage 4 & accelerated growth: $75M–$80M).
Safety and ESG Recognition
Recorded no lost-time injuries in the quarter (10 consecutive LTI-free quarters). Received PNG CORE Award for community adult literacy program (4th consecutive year of ESG recognition).
