Overview
As published in previous market guidance information, the Company was on course over the first 9 months of 2024 to mine and process 1.5 million tonnes at the Caijiaying Mine in 2024. The unfortunate suspension in operations on the 11th October 2024 following the fatality of a mine contractor's employee halted all operations at the Caijiaying Mine until the 1st January 2025 and severely impacted operational results in the last quarter of 2024. All mine and milling operations have returned to normal in 2025.
