Next steps include: Surface drilling expected to commence in November, initially targeting depth extensions at Jack’s Hut. Mineral Resource updates for Jack’s Hut and SOZ targeted for the March quarter 2027. An underground Ore Reserve update expected in the June quarter 2027. Cash at 30 September was $14.54 million.
