2-km confirmed mine trend extension
12,553 m drilled in 2025; 15,600 m drilling planned in 2026 (3 rigs)
2 km mine trend extension confirmed with extended geology and Au mineralization:
4.1 m at 15.1 g/t Au with visible gold observed (at 1.6 km)
5.0 m at 5.57 g/t Au incl. 1.0 m @ 8.79 g/t Au (at 2 km)
Drilling indicates stacked mineralized zones:
Upper horizon (Lynx)
Lower horizon (PQ Extension)
0.5 Mtpa available mill capacity
1.5 Mtpa nameplate mill capacity
~1.0 Mtpa current utilization
Fleet modernization and improved ore flow have driven higher utilization
Untapped mill capacity provides near-term growth leverage without major capital investment
