Emma Priestley, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Our ramp up at Homase continues at pace and we remain on track to deliver our stated objective of producing 1,000oz pcm from January 2025.  November was a great month on site, with gold production up 34% from our yearly average, and we stacked a total of 45,000 tonnes of ore, supporting our upward production trajectory into next year. We have had constructive discussions with Blue Gold and its related parties and we are hopeful that this will reach a positive conclusion in the coming weeks."
