GOLD PRODUCTION RESULTS
Third quarter gold production
• The sulphide flotation plant produced 10,700 ounces of gold during the quarter. A total of 243,367 tonnes
of sulphide ore were processed at an improved average recovery rate of 89.75%, reflecting the continued
benefits of plant improvements and optimization initiatives. Despite a lower average head grade of 1.67
g/t compared to Q3 FY 2025, operational performance remained strong.
• During Q3 FY 2026, mining activities continued to focus on Buffalo Reef and Felda Block 7. Ore mined
during the quarter increased by 3% compared to Q3 FY 2025. As mining progressed into the planned ore
zones, higher ore tonnages were achieved, while the stripping ratio remained broadly consistent at 9.60,
compared to 9.57 in Q3 FY 2025.
• Ore processed during the quarter increased by 27% compared to Q3 FY 2025, driven by improved plant
availability, ongoing optimization initiatives, and stronger performance from the new filter press, which
successfully resolved the previous processing bottleneck.
YTD FY 2026 gold production
• Mining production included 6,648,193 tonnes of total mined material (nine months ended March 31,
2025: 6,986,539 tonnes), comprising 645,877 tonnes of ore (nine months ended March 31, 2025: 532,531
tonnes) and 6,002,316 tonnes of waste (nine months ended March 31, 2025: 6,454,008 tonnes). The
stripping ratio decreased to 9.29 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 12.12 for the
same period last year. This decrease was due to the increase in ore tonnage upon reaching ore zones,
optimized mining sequence, and lower cutback waste, mainly at the Buffalo Reef pit BRC4 to access the
ore body.
• The mill processed 707,518 tonnes of sulphide ore during YTD FY 2026, averaging a head grade of 1.72
g/t and a higher recovery of 89.69% (YTD FY 2025: 83.49%). Processing costs per tonne decreased to
$13.94 from $14.39 in the same period last year , primarily due to improved operational efficiency, as
fixed maintenance and labor costs were spread over a larger throughput.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Third Quarter financial results
• Gold sales in Q3 FY 2026 generated strong revenue of $4 7.04 million from 10,478 ounces sold at a
record average realized price of $5,166 per ounce. This represents a significant improvement compared
to Q3 FY 2025, when 8,399 ounces were sold at an average realized price of $2,945 per ounce, reflecting
both higher sales volumes and significantly stronger gold prices.
• Mining operations, before non -cash amortization and depreciation, delivered an outstanding gross
margin of $32.47 million in Q3 FY 2026, significantly up from $12.51 million in Q3 FY 2025 . The
strong increase reflects the continued improvement in operational performance, higher production levels,
and favorable gold prices achieved during the quarter.
• Cash cost per gold ounce sold from the sulphide operations was $1,390 for Q3 FY 2026, compared with
$874 in Q3 FY 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher royalty expenses, driven by both
the increase in royalty rate effective from September 2025 and higher royalty costs per ounce resulting
from stronger realised gold prices during the quarter. Additional con tributing factors included the
appreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit against the US dollar, which increased operating costs when
translated into US dollar terms, higher mining costs associated with increased total material mined, and
the implementation of the latest Sales and Service Tax (“SST”) on mining-related services.
• Net cash generated from operating activities in Q3 FY 2026 totalled $21.90 million, an increase of $13.18
million compared to $8.72 million in Q3 FY 2025. This strong growth was primarily driven by higher
gross margins from increased gold concentrate sales and stronger realized gold prices.
• The Company’s total cash reserves, comprising cash and cash equivalents and short-term term deposits,
were $101.76 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $55.82 million from $45.94 million as of June
30, 2025. Current assets exceeded current liabilities by $108.85 million (June 30, 2025: $58.54 million),
reflecting the Company’s strengthened liquidity position and solid net working capital base.
YTD FY 2026 financial results
• During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, revenue from sulphide gold production was $128.67
million (nine months ended March 31, 2025: $59.02 million), because of the sale of 35,429 ounces of
gold in concentrate at a realized gold price of $4,262 per ounce (nine months ended March 31, 2025:
26,656 ounces at $2,718/oz).
• The gross margin was $86.45 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 (nine months ended
March 31, 2025: $35.66 million), reflecting the Company’s strong operational performance and the
benefit of significantly stronger realized gold prices during the period.
• Cash cost per gold ounce sold from the sulphide operations was $1, 192 for YTD FY 2026, compared
with $876 in YTD FY 2025. The increase primarily reflected the positive impact of significantly stronger
realized gold prices during the quarter, which resulted in higher royalty and rehabilitation fund levy in
line with improved revenue performance. Operating costs were also influenced by the appreciation of
the Malaysian Ringgit against the US dollar when translated into US dollar terms, together with the
implementation of the latest Sales and Service Tax (“SST”) on mining-related services.
MINE DEVELOPMENT
Selinsing Gold Mine
R&D Work
Bench scale test work was conducted using alternative collectors combined with Potassium Amyl Xanthate for
improved gold and antimony recovery under both alkaline and acidic conditions, with mixed results. Weekly
laboratory bench scale test work continued to compare results against plant production figures with the aim of
optimizing reagent dosing, maximizing gold and antimony recoveries and maintaining concentrate quality.
Concentrate Warehouse Extension
The warehouse extension was completed during Q3 FY 2026 and full use was made of the additional capacity.
Electrical installation works, including lighting and cabling progressed well during the quarter. The one -tonne
bulk bagging system was assembled under a lean-to roof along the south side of the concentrate shed extension.
Mine Development
During Q3 FY 2026 mining activities were focused on BRC2 Stages 2 and 3, and BRC4 Stages 2 and 3; mining
resumed at BRC3 Stage 3 during March. Open pits push back activities were conducted during the Stage 3
development at the southern end of BRC2 pit with waste removal to an elevation of 465 mRL.
Tailing Storage Facility (TSF)
Design of the Stage 7 main and saddle embankments was completed by our TSF consultants during the quarter.
Construction of the southern embankments progressed well, centreline construction of south embankment #2 was
completed to the planned interim elevatio n of 543 mRL and downstream construction of south embankment #1
reached an elevation of 537 mRL at quarter end. The interim elevation of 543 mRL will provide an additional
capacity of around 1.5 million tonnes, equivalent to 20 months of tailings discharge.
Flotation Plant and Related Facilities
A new transfer pump and piping was installed for the PAX flotation collector, and upgrades were carried out on
the concentrate and water recovery thickener underflow pipelines. The new filter press operated reliably
throughout the quarter and the original filter press was run every month as part of ongoing care and maintenance
activities.
Computerised Maintenance Management System
The Computerised Maintenance Management System (“CMMS”) was successfully implemented during Q3 FY
2026. Maintenance performance showed steady and measurable improvement with increased asset reliability,
reduced downtime, and more efficient inventory manage ment. The implementation contributed positively to
operational efficiency, cost control, and overall asset performance during the quarter.
Murchison Gold Project
During Q3 FY 2026, the Company continued to make solid progress on technical and development studies at the
Murchison Project, including the successful completion of Process Design Criteria assessments and a Statement
of Work for future processing expansion opportunities, su pporting ongoing project evaluation and development
planning.
Engagement with Traditional Owners continued constructively during the quarter, strengthening relationships and
progressing production planning discussions. Heritage surveys completed during Q2 pursuant to the Interim
Heritage Agreement were assessed, and a plan was developed to further progress the Gabanintha and Burnakura
projects in preparation for the re-commencement of field activities.
Environmental programs also progressed positively during the quarter, with the successful completion of the Q3
FY 2026 fauna survey confirming that no conservation-significant species were identified within the survey area,
representing a positive outcome for future project advancement activities.
In addition, detailed heritage evaluations were successfully completed with support from external consultants to
support obtaining consent from Traditional Owners for the upcoming exploration drilling program.
Exploration
Malaysia
The Buffalo Reef exploration drilling program progressed during this quarter with 58 holes completed and 8,666
metres drilled. The drilling program targeted extensions of oxide and predominately sulphide mineralisation in
known mining areas, and potential mineral resource expansion outside of the current pit-shell, which may support
an extension of the mine life, subject to furt her studies. By the end of the third quarter of FY 2026, a total of
13,045.1 metres had been drilled as part of the resource expans ion program, and a total of 9,078 samples were
prepared and dispatched to a recognized independent third-party assay laboratory.
Western Australia
During the quarter, the Company continued reviewing historical data and existing resources at the Gabanintha
and Burnakura deposits and completed preliminary planning to identify infill and extension drilling targets aimed
at supporting potential resource growth.
