AGM 2024 Presentation summary
2 Jul, 2025Strategic focus and operational highlights
Pursuing a strategy to reach 150 koz per annum gold production, leveraging organic growth and optimizing performance for long-term value creation.
FY24 saw a transformational shift to underground mining, resulting in record gold production of 69.9 koz and a 10% reduction in AISC to A$2,767/oz.
Riverina Underground mine achieved commercial production in August 2024, ramping up to steady state with Q1 FY25 grade reconciliation at 4.5g/t Au, exceeding reserve grade.
Sand King Underground mine received final investment decision, with first ore expected in Q2 FY25 and steady state production targeted for Q4 FY25.
Q1 FY25 delivered strong cash flow generation of $53.3m, increasing closing cash to $48.7m after significant growth and exploration investments.
Asset base, resources, and reserves
Davyhurst Gold Project comprises 68 granted tenements over 1,150km², with a 1.2Mtpa processing facility and extensive infrastructure.
Total Mineral Resource Estimate stands at 23.3Mt @ 2.6g/t Au for 1.95Moz, with Ore Reserves of 2.2Mt @ 2.7g/t Au for 190koz.
Riverina and Sand King underground mines are the primary contributors to future production, with reserves of 87koz and 55koz respectively.
Exploration focus remains on expanding resources at Riverina, Sand King, and other underexplored trends such as Mulline and Waihi.
Growth, exploration, and future outlook
FY25 production guidance is 100–110 koz at an AISC of A$1,975–2,125/oz, with FY26 outlook targeting 140–160 koz at lower AISC of A$1,740–1,890/oz.
Growth capital of A$63m planned for FY25, including A$39m for Sand King UG, A$10m for Riverina UG, and A$25m for exploration.
Over 93,000m of drilling planned at Riverina in FY25 to test extensions and resource growth, with two surface diamond rigs operating.
Systematic exploration underway at Riverina Gold Camp and Mulline, targeting large-scale mineralisation and high-grade underground potential.
Waihi trend and other deposits present further underground growth opportunities, supported by historical high-grade production and recent drilling.
