Native Mineral Resources (NMR) has reported three successful gold pours at its Blackjack gold operations in Queensland on 27 August, producing approximately 300 ounces of gold doré.
With ramp-up momentum building, key approvals progressing, and regional growth projects advancing, the miner is firmly on track to deliver sustained gold production and long-term value creation for shareholders.
“August is proving to be a transformational month for the business, with plant performance improving daily and feed grades steadily increasing,” said NMR Managing Director and CEO Blake Cannavo.
“Our strategy remains focused on delivering sustainable gold production from Blackjack while unlocking value across our broader asset portfolio, including Far Fanning and Granite Castle. Importantly, the team has maintained strong recoveries through the ramp-up, giving us confidence in the robustness of our processing circuit.
“With mining, haulage, plant expansion, and tailings storage initiatives all advancing, NMR is well positioned to create long-term shareholder value as we transition from commissioning into steady-state operations.”
Blackjack mining operations are progressing, noted NMR, with South Pit production underway and North Pit preparations commencing. Six blasts have been completed to date at Blackjack, including three blasts in August; two blasts were scheduled for 1 September.
