1st Quarter Results
AltynGold Plc
("AltynGold" or the "Company")
Q1 2026 Production and Operational update
AltynGold (LSE:ALTN), a leading exploration and development gold miner
operating in Kazakhstan, is pleased to announce its production and operational
update for the three months to 31 March 2026 ("Q1 2026" or the "Period").
Production and revenues
Q1 2026 was another strong operational quarter for AltynGold. Ore mined
(213kt) and milled (235kt) reflected a 2% and 15% year-over-year (YoY)
increase, respectively, underscoring robust productivity at the Sekisovskoye
mine.
Gold sold surged 29% YoY to 11,532 ounces, driving a 122% YoY revenue increase
to US$56.3 million, supported by higher sales volumes and strong gold prices.
In Q1 2026, AltynGold executed planned mining of upper horizons (5-5 and 6-8)
to address a vertical gap in its main ore bodies, which temporarily impacted
the average mined grade from 2.04g/t to 1.73g/t. This work was completed in
April, and gold grades have since returned to normal levels, consistent with
the 2026 mine plan.
With stable production, improved grades, and strong gold prices, AltynGold
remains confident in its outlook for the remainder of 2026. The Company is
focused on delivering operational targets while advancing medium-term
expansion plans to increase processing capacity at Sekisovskoye.
Operational upgrade
During the period, AltynGold strengthened its operational infrastructure at
Sekisovskoye, launching a new on-site laboratory in April. Equipped with
modern analytical tools and staffed by 35 professionals, the lab expands
in-house testing capabilities, improving turnaround times and supporting
data-driven decision-making across production, grade monitoring, and
processing efficiency.
Sekisovskoye Growth Plan
Following the December 2024 upgrade, the processing plant now operates at its
maximum capacity of 1Mtpa. AltynGold is advancing plans for a second-stage
expansion to 2Mtpa and expects to update the market in the coming months.
