Highlights

Operations

§ FY25 production in just seven months1 of 198,319 oz of gold (Au) plus 8,429t of copper (Cu) at an all-in-sustaining cost (net of by-product credits) (AISC) of $1,849/oz Au; production within guidance and AISC substantially better than guidance.

§ June quarter production of 78,283oz Au and 3,729t Cu at an AISC of $1,736/oz Au.

§ No Lost Time Injuries during the quarter. 12-month moving average lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) is 0 and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) has improved significantly to 6.0 from 14.1 (31 December 2024).

§ Successful completion of the post acquisition integration of Telfer and Havieron operations into Greatland, including the stand-up of all systems, operational processes, and conclusion of transitional services arrangements.

§ Key Telfer mining leases achieved their second renewal, until December 2045.

Financial & Corporate

§ June quarter sales of 87,529oz Au and 3,740t Cu at weighted average realised prices of $5,014/oz gold and $12,718/t copper, generating net revenue of $487 million.

§ Strong operating cash flow of $310 million for the June quarter (March quarter: $297 million) delivered a closing cash balance of $575 million ($398 million at 31 March 2025), debt free.

§ ASX initial public offering (IPO) successfully completed in June 2025. Exceptionally strong investor demand for the $490 million offering priced at $6.60 per share and minimal dilution from a modest $50 million primary share issuance, with the balance a $440 million secondary sell down of shares held by Newmont.

§ Full upside exposure to the gold price with downside protection provided from gold put options at $3,905/oz (CY25) and $4,200/oz (CY26).

Growth

§ Significantly expanded drilling program underway, with six drill rigs at quarter end and 27,840 metres drilled in the June quarter. Encouraging assay results received from key extension targets in the West Dome Open Pit and Main Dome Underground.

§ $97 million growth capital invested in FY25, within guidance.

§ Commencement of key Telfer life extension projects including: second development drive to the new West Dome Underground project, pre-stripping of multi-year West Dome Open Pit Stage 7 extension, and tailings capacity expansion.

§ Havieron Feasibility Study and early works continue to progress, study completion remains on schedule for the December 2025 quarter.

FY26 outlook

§ FY26 guidance:


    MetricGuidance range
    Gold production (koz)260 - 310
    AISC ($/oz Au)2,400 - 2,800
    Telfer growth capital ($m)230 - 260
    Exploration & resource development ($m)55 - 60
    Havieron growth capital (pre FID) ($m)60 - 70
    

 

§ The first full-year production and AISC guidance follows an assessment undertaken subsequent to the final FY25 results and as part of the FY26 budget process, which included risk weighting the potential for lower gold grade of the existing ROM stockpiles mined in 2024 prior to Greatland's acquisition of Telfer, and certain open pit areas intended to be mined in FY26.

§ $575 million net cash at the quarter end and continuing high volume production from Telfer is planned to fund key growth capital investments at Telfer targeting multi-year mine life extension, including:

‒        The largest drilling program in Telfer's operating history, with ~ 240,000 metres total drilling planned (+145% vs. FY21-25 average) across eight drill rigs;

‒        Open pit life-extension pre-stripping, new mining fleet, and haul truck refurbishment;

‒        Underground life-extension development; and

‒        Tailings capacity expansion.

§ Greatland is undertaking significant infill drilling with tighter spacing than historically applied at Telfer, to inform and increase confidence in future mine planning and resource and reserve updates.

§ Havieron growth capital (pre FID) includes study completion, early works and development restart.

§ Further detail is set out in the FY26 Guidance section.

Greatland Managing Director, Shaun Day, commented:

 

"The June 2025 quarter result has capped a transformational 2025 financial year for Greatland, in which we acquired and successfully integrated 100% ownership of Telfer and Havieron, extended Telfer's mine life, generated more than $600 million of operating cash flow, and successfully completed an IPO on the ASX. Greatland has emerged from the year as a leading Australian gold-copper producer."

 

"Looking ahead to FY2026, at Telfer we are focused on continuing safe and strong operational performance. Greatland is targeting further multi-year Telfer mine life-extensions by making important reinvestments, including into the drill rig with Telfer's largest ever drilling program."

 

"At Havieron, Greatland is well placed to complete our Feasibility Study on the expanded development in the December 2025 quarter and then resume the development of the world-class gold-copper project."

Notes:

1.     FY25 total includes the 27-day operating period under Greatland ownership from completion of the Telfer-Havieron acquisition on 4 December 2024 to 31 December 2024, not shown separately given the short period for which costs were not reported.

2.     Net revenue includes adjustments for treatment and refining charges and payability deductions. Average price received is calculated by dividing net revenue by sales (i.e. average price received is also adjusted for treatment and refining charges and payability deductions).

3.     Reduction in mining costs from March to June quarter largely driven by deferral of West Dome Stage 2 ore mining, accelerated pre-stripping of Stage 7 (growth capital), and underground growth development.

4.     Reduction in sustaining capex from March to June quarter largely due to completion of TSF8 Stage 2 lift (sustaining capex) and commencement of Stage 3 lift (growth capex).

5.     Includes adjustments to reflect extension of Telfer mine life announced in April 2025.

 

Mining

West Dome Open Pit

Ore production during the June quarter was from Stage 2 and 7 (refer Figure 1 below), totalling 1.57Mt at 0.59g/t Au and 0.07% Cu, with grade mined in line with plan.

Total material mined was in line with plan. Mining of approximately 0.9Mt of ore from Stage 2 was deferred as dewatering system upgrades are being made following the significant Cyclone Zelia rainfall event during the March quarter. Waste pre-stripping of the Stage 7 Cutback was accelerated and progressed well during the quarter with approximately 3.0Mt of waste mined.

Main Dome Underground

Ore production during the June quarter was from the M-reef, A-reef, Western Flanks, Rey and Eastern Stockwork Corridor (ESC) mining areas (refer Figure 1), totalling 0.30Mt at 1.62g/t Au and 0.58% Cu.

Figure 1: June quarter mining areas

The improved productivity in underground development metres has been sustained with 1,392 metres for the June quarter (March quarter: 1,362 metres).

Figure 2: Main Dome underground monthly development metres

Processing

June quarter delivered processed tonnes of 4.9Mt with average head grade of 0.58g/t Au and 0.09% Cu. June quarter recoveries were 82% for gold (in line with plan) and 81% for copper (~10% better than plan).

FY25 gold recovery of 84.2% was the highest annual recovery since 2010. These are exceptional results given the lower than historical grades, achieved through a focus on stable grinding and flotation plant operation, and consistent feed rates to and utilisation of the pyrite flotation and concentrate CIL circuits.

Stockpiles

Closing run-of-mine (ROM) ore stockpiles at 30 June 2025 are estimated at 7.0Mt at average grade of 0.57g/t Au and 0.06% Cu for contained metal of 129koz Au and 4.5kt Cu. The grade of the ROM stockpiles has been recalibrated to reflect recent processing reconciliations.

Further low grade stockpiles at 30 June 2025 are estimated at 20.7Mt at average grade of 0.33g/t Au and 0.04% Cu for contained metal of 220koz Au and 9.0kt Cu.

Performance against FY25 guidance - commentary

FY25 total production of 198,319oz Au was within guidance of 196,000 - 210,000oz Au.

In terms of being towards the lower end of production guidance, the main contributing factor was lower than planned average gold head grade processed due to deferral of some West Dome Open Pit Stage 2 ore mining (the impact of Cyclone Zelia being described above) which was replaced with additional processing of ex-pit direct tip low grade material, and lower than planned head grade of stockpiles mined in 2024 prior to Greatland's acquisition of Telfer. These factors have been considered in determining FY26 guidance. In addition, Greatland is undertaking significant infill drilling with tighter spacing than historically applied at Telfer, to inform and increase confidence in future mine planning and resource and reserve updates.

Pleasingly, FY25 AISC was significantly better than guidance of $2,100 - $2,250/oz Au, due largely to a combination of improved productivity, deferral of West Dome Stage 2 ore mining, accelerated pre-stripping in West Dome Stage 7 (growth capital) and increased processing of stockpiles acquired as part of the Telfer acquisition.

FY25 growth capex of $97 million was within guidance of $95 - 105 million.

Renewal of key Telfer mining leases

Greatland is pleased to confirm that key Telfer mining leases achieved their second renewal until December 2045 during the June quarter. Tenements M45/6, M45/7, M45/8, M45/9, M45/10, M45/11, G45/1, G45/2, G45/3, G45/4 and L45/3 (refer Figure 3) were all renewed until 17 December 2045.

FY26 Guidance - Investing in multi-year life extension at Telfer

Greatland is pleased to provide its first full-year guidance since completing the acquisition of Telfer and Havieron in December 2024.

As its new owner, Greatland is investing to continue renewing and extending Telfer's operations. The operational performance to date, coupled with identification of high potential mine life-extensions from Greatland's expanded resource development drilling programs, underpin increasing confidence in the potential for further multi-year mine life extensions at Telfer.

In FY26, continued high volume production from Telfer, at reasonable costs in a strong gold price environment, is expected to continue to generate healthy margins and operating cash flow, supporting significant growth investments at both Telfer and Havieron.

Greatland's objective is to maintain a sustainable production rate from Telfer leading up to the anticipated commencement of mining at Havieron.

Table 2: FY26 guidance ranges


    MetricGuidance range
    Gold production (koz)260 - 310
    All-in-Sustaining Costs (AISC, $/oz Au)2,400 - 2,800
    Telfer growth capital ($m)240 - 260
    Exploration & resource development ($m)55 - 60
    Havieron growth capital (pre FID) ($m)60 - 70
    

Production and AISC

Gold production guidance is for 260 - 310koz Au at an AISC range of $2,400 - $2,800/oz Au.

Production guidance has been moderated from the 2-Year Outlook production target of 300 - 340koz at AISC of $2,400 - $2,600/oz Au announced by the Greatland group in April 2025. This follows an assessment undertaken subsequent to the final FY25 results and as part of the FY26 budget process, which included risk weighting the potential for lower gold grade of the existing ROM stockpiles mined in 2024 prior to Greatland's acquisition of Telfer and certain open pit areas intended to be mined in FY26.

Greatland is undertaking significant infill drilling with tighter spacing than historically applied at Telfer, to inform and increase confidence in future mine planning and resource and reserve updates.

FY26 AISC guidance of $2,400 - $2,800/oz Au is based on the recently completed and approved bottom-up FY26 budget and production guidance range, and assumes a market copper price of $13,960/t.

Telfer growth capital

Key life-extension growth capital investments at Telfer planned for FY26 include:

§ Pre-stripping of West Dome Open Pit Stage 7 Extension, expected to provide ore feed into FY29.

§ Purchase of new and the refurbishment of existing open pit fleet equipment, to support the targeted multi-year extension of open pit operations.

§ Underground life-extension development of the West Dome Underground, with more than 2,900 metres of growth development planned in FY26 (FY25: ~1,050 metres). Planned development includes the new ESC, which has returned encouraging drilling results in terms of width and grade as set out below.

§ Expansion of tailings capacity, including completion of TSF8 Stage 3 lift and substantially progress of the Stage 4 lift (collectively expected to provide capacity at current processing rates until approximately late FY28).

The increased growth capital investment relative to the previous 2-Year Outlook has been approved through the FY26 budgeting process, in light of the strong operating performance and resulting strong balance sheet of the group. The investments reflect the pursuit of further multi-year mine life extensions at Telfer beyond the previous outlook period, a key objective of Greatland's operating strategy.

Figure 4: Key Telfer life-extension investments and expected periods of benefit

Exploration & resource development

Greatland intends to undertake the most significant drilling program in Telfer's operating history, with ~ 240,000 metres total drilling planned across eight drill rigs, comprising ~ 150,000 metres of resource growth drilling and ~ 90,000 metres of resource conversion drilling.

Figure 5: Telfer historic and planned FY26 drilling

Drilling results from CY25 drilling is expected to inform a Telfer Mineral Resource Estimate update during the March 2026 quarter and an Ore Reserve Estimate update in the June 2026 quarter. Detail on key targets of FY26 drilling is contained in the Telfer Resource Development - FY26 Outlook section below.

Regional exploration will be largely focused on the Paterson region surrounding Telfer and is planned to include more than 20,000 metres of drilling (FY25: 15,300 metres).

Havieron growth capital

Greatland's Havieron Feasibility Study (FS) remains targeted for completion in the December 2025 quarter, and will include an executable capital cost estimate and project schedule for the completion of Havieron's development. Final Investment Decision (FID) is expected following completion of the FS.

While Greatland awaits the executable project schedule to be delivered as part of the FS, de-risking of the project schedule is being undertaken through a number of early works planned during FY26. Havieron pre-FID growth capital guidance of $60 to $70 million for FY26 includes the following key items:

§ Owners' costs and consultant costs for completion of the FS and design of critical path activities.

§ Restart of early works underground mine development.

§ Design, fabrication and installation of a reinforced concrete tunnel connecting the existing decline portal to surface level, and backfill of the existing box cut, to mitigate flow of surface water to the Havieron decline during periods of rainfall.

Telfer Resource Development

June 2025 quarter activities and results

Growth drilling has continued during the quarter with four diamond and two reverse circulation drilling rigs, with a total of 171 holes drilled during the quarter, for a total of 27,840 metres.

Drilling has continued focused evaluating extension to Stage 7 and Stage 2 in the West Dome Open Pit, while in the Main Dome Underground much of the focus for the quarter was on drilling within the ESC along with near mine targets at A Reef, Rey and the LLU.  

Late in the June quarter drilling recommenced at the high priority West Dome Underground project, and will be a key focus for the remainder of H1 FY26.

West Dome Open Pit

A comprehensive drill out of the Stage 2 cutback along with extension potential at depth was completed during the June quarter, with a total of 100 holes for 12,913m completed (Figure 6).

Figure 6: West Dome Open Pit - June Quarter 2025 Drilling

Main Dome Underground

At the Main Dome Underground four underground diamond drill (DD) rigs targeted resource conversion (infill) on the ESC, A Reefs, LLU and Rey extensions. 

ESC (Eastern Stockwork Corridor)

The focus of the June quarter drilling at the ESC was to inform and support resource estimation and mine planning requirements, with a total of 34 holes for 8,113m completed.

Figure 7: Main Dome Underground Dome: ESC Infill - June Quarter 2025 Drilling

Drilling results have been highly encouraging and confirmed the updated geological model, and the presence of a consistent zones of high grade stockwork mineralisation.  Work is in progress to deliver a Mineral Resource estimate to support mining activities in the area.

The following significant results were returned during the quarter, with the full list of results in  Table 4.

§ 18.3m @ 2.7 g/t Au & 0.13% Cu from 204m (MUC5066034)

Of note, several drillholes targeting the ESC during the quarter intercepted a new zone approximately 150 metres above that is interpreted to be a repeat of the key structural and geological settings that host the ESC. In addition to this 'repeat' structure, drilling targeted the southern extension of the ESC also successfully intercepted mineralisation up to 300m to the south. Refer Figure 8.

Figure 8: Main Dome Underground: ESC Extensions - June Quarter 2025 Drilling

The following significant results demonstrate the potential of the ESC repeat, with geological interpretation underway to inform further drilling programs:

FY26 outlook - Telfer's largest ever drilling program

Greatland is planning a transformational FY26 for Telfer with more than 240,000 metres of drilling planned, the most at Telfer in its operational history.

The planned drilling will involve the mobilisation of additional drilling capacity to site, targeting 150,000 metres of resource growth drilling and 90,000 metres of resource conversion drilling, with the objective of expanding the site's Resources and Reserves to support further multi-year mine life extensions.

Three key extension opportunities are targeted, the West Dome Open Pit (WDO), Main Dome Underground (MDU) and West Dome Underground (WDU) with five diamond rigs and three reverse circulation (RC) rigs scheduled for much of the year.

West Dome Open Pit (WDO)

Drilling for FY26 will be focused on two key areas, the Stage 7 Extension, which will be targeted early in the year with the aim to expand the existing Stage 7 cutback. The second area of focus will be extension to the current Stage 2 which has the potential to support multi-year extension of the current mine life.

Figure 9: West Dome Open Pit proposed FY26 Drilling (blue shading represents a $4,500/oz optimisation pit shell)

Main Dome Underground (MDU)

An extensive drilling campaign is proposed for the MDU, aiming to bring multiple near mine extensions (A Reef / LLU / M Reefs / Rey) to a mine ready status, while also aiming to bring on new mine opportunities such as the ESC and Kylo. This program key objective is to successfully define and convert Mineral Resource to support a muti-year mine life for the Telfer Underground.

Figure 10: Main Dome Underground proposed FY26 Drilling

West Dome Underground (WDU)

The WDU is one of the most exciting discoveries at Telfer for many years. Following the success of the inaugural WDU underground drilling program (announced on 20 February 2025), an extensive drilling program is proposed for FY26, initially targeting conversion of a central 600m strike length (Figure 11) after which drilling will shift to be focused on extension of the mineral system, which remains open. 

Figure 11: West Dome Underground proposed FY26 Drilling

Havieron

The Havieron FS continues to progress and remains targeted for completion in December quarter 2025.

As announced in April 2025, the FS design criteria was finalised, with the study assessing an initial mining rate of 2.8Mtpa post ramp-up, increasing to between 4.0Mtpa - 4.5Mtpa by development of an underground crusher and material handling system.

The expansion case remains subject to ongoing assessment in the FS, however it is expected to be significantly value accretive for the following reasons:

§ Telfer infrastructure has sufficient capacity to process increased Havieron ore feed.

§ Planned haul road and infrastructure corridor between Telfer and Havieron does not need to be expanded to accommodate increased Havieron throughput.

§ Havieron above ground site infrastructure only requires moderate expansion to accommodate increased throughput.

§ Development of the underground crusher and material handling system is expected to be largely self-funded from Havieron cash flows.

 

 

Updates from the June 2025 quarter include:

§ Permitting and approvals process have progressed well, with information requests received from the WA Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), the department administers the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth). Shortly after quarter end responses were submitted to both agencies and a DCCEEW site visit was hosted.

§ Completed design and tender for supply and installation of a reinforced concrete tunnel connecting the existing decline portal to surface level, and backfill of the existing box cut, to mitigate flow of surface water to the Havieron decline during periods of rainfall.

§ Completed design of ventilation shafts VR2 and VR3. Specialist blind bore cutter heads were designed and fabrication is underway.

 

Corporate & Finance

Sales and revenue

Full upside exposure to the gold price and sales of 87,529oz Au and 3,740t Cu, at average realised prices of $5,014/oz Au and $12,718/t Cu, underpinned net sales revenues of $487 million.

Cash and liquidity

Greatland generated cash flow from operations of $310 million and cash build of $176 million in the June 2025 quarter, with a closing cash balance on 30 June 2025 of $575 million.

Greatland remains debt free with an undrawn $75m working capital facility providing additional liquidity buffer. 

Figure 12: June 2025 quarter cash movements

Notes:

1.     Corporate and finance includes corporate overheads, finance costs / interest, and premiums paid for gold put options.

2.     Transaction and One-Off Costs includes: $23.9m final purchase price adjustment to Newmont; $34.2m in cash consideration for the pre-ASX IPO surrender of in-the-money options by certain directors and employees; $9.4m in transaction fees for the Telfer-Havieron acquisition, SAP implementation and transitional services costs; and $4.4m in ASX IPO costs.

3.     Net proceeds of $50 million ASX IPO primary issuance and approximately £6.7m UK retail offer.

 

WA stamp duty for the Telfer-Havieron acquisition is due to be paid in the September 2025 quarter and is estimated to be approximately $46 million.

For tax purposes, Greatland's accumulated losses are expected to have been fully utilised during the March 2025 quarter, with a tax liability for the FY25 period expected to be payable in the March 2026 quarter, following which tax is expected to be paid in regular monthly instalments.

ASX Initial Public Offer

In June 2025 Greatland successfully completed two major corporate initiatives following the acquisition of Telfer and Havieron, being Greatland's ASX initial public offer (IPO) and listing, and the associated corporate reorganisation through which Greatland became the sole shareholder of Greatland Gold plc and parent of the Greatland group.

Greatland's ASX IPO was strongly supported, with an oversubscribed $490 million offer at an offer price of $6.60 per share, which represented a ~3% discount to Greatland Gold plc's five-day volume weighted average price to completion of the IPO bookbuild.  The offer comprised a $50 million primary issuance by Greatland and a $440 million secondary sell down of 50% of Newmont Corporation's shares in Greatland that were received under the Telfer-Havieron acquisition.

A separate offer to UK residents retail investors was also oversubscribed and successfully completed, raising a further ~$14.0 million in gross proceeds.

Greatland is delighted to have completed the ASX listing and welcomed many high quality Australian and international institutional investors to its register, while minimising equity dilution to existing shareholders.

Integration

Greatland successfully completed its integration of the Telfer-Havieron operations during the quarter which resulted in the cessation of the transitional services arrangements with Newmont. The integration included the implementation of SAP and stand up of key functions in order to allow for the independent running of operations.

Hedging profile - downside price protection with full upside exposure

Greatland continues to maintain full upside exposure to the gold price, while achieving downside price protection through gold put options. Greatland's current gold put options comprise the following:

Sustainability

There were no Lost Time Injuries during the June 2025 quarter, and the 12-month moving average lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) is 0. There were no environmental non-compliances or significant incidents reported during the quarter. Greatland TRIFR has steadily declined to 6.0 from 14.1 (31 December 2024).

Greatland continues to work closely with the Martu people, the area's native title holders. In this regard, Greatland engages closely with Jamukurnu-Yapalikurnu Aboriginal Corporation (JYAC), the Martu's prescribed body corporate. JYAC demonstrated their support of the Telfer operations and provided a letter of support in respect of Greatland's application to extend and renew its Telfer Mining Leases.

During the June 2024 quarter, Greatland's second application to extend and renew the Telfer Mining Leases (on their 42nd year anniversary) were granted by the Government of Western Australia with no further conditions imposed.

Drillhole Data and Au- Cu Significant Intersections

 

Reporting Criteria: Intercepts reported are downhole drill width (not true width) Au >0.50ppm (0.5g/t Au) and minimum 1m downhole width with maximum consecutive internal dilution of 5m. Average grades are based on length-weighting of samples grade, and only those intercepts with a gram metres (Au_ppm x length) above 10 gram metres have been reported. Gold and copper grades are reported to two significant figures, the downhole lengths are rounded to 0.1m which may cause some apparent discrepancies in interval widths. Underground samples are from core drilling which is NQ2 in diameter while open pit samples are from reverse circulation (RC) drilling.

JORC 2012 Table 1: Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data


    CriteriaCommentary
    Sampling techniquesResource definition drilling at Telfer involves a combination of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling throughout the mining period. For diamond drilling, samples are taken according to lithological boundaries, with geologists defining sample intervals and selecting the assay methodology. Historically, high-grade reef samples were sent for screen fire assay, while other samples underwent fire assay for gold and additional elements.
    Core sizes for resource drilling usually range from NQ to PQ, while smaller sizes (NQ or LTK60) are used for grade control. Diamond drilling typically samples lithological units with lengths between 0.2 to 1.2 meters, with 1-meter intervals being most common and they are barcoded and submitted for laboratory analysis.
    Historically, RC drilling typically produces 1-meter samples, from which a 2-5 kg sub-sample is taken using a riffle splitter, then pulverised for gold assay. Earlier RC drilling involved samples from 0.5-meter to 2-meter intervals, with the small intervals were used to target reefs. Recent RC drilling for resource definition uses 1-meter intervals and split using cone splitter from which a 2-5 kg sub-sample is taken with bulk reject material stored temporarily. While grade control uses 2-meter intervals and split using cone splitter. All RC drilling has field duplicates conducted at a 1:20 ratio.
    Rock chip samples, collected manually from exposed development faces, are typically 2-3 kg, collected perpendicular to bedding, and include all relevant domains (reef, hanging wall, footwall). These samples are stored in pre-numbered bags for analysis.
    Drilling techniquesDrilling at the Telfer has evolved over time, following industry-standard protocols. Before 1998, drilling targeted mainly previously mined areas, while from 1998 to 2002, diamond drilling formed the primary data source for current Mineral Resource estimates, supplemented by RC drilling. Currently, RC drilling is the primary data source for the open pit resources and diamond drilling for underground resources.
    Currently, NQ2 is the dominant drill size for diamond drilling and RC Drilling is drilled with a pre-collar of 143mm then reduced to 134mm diameter.
    Additional core sizes, including NQ, HQ, HQ3, LTK60, and limited PQ and BQ, have also been used at Telfer. LTK60 and BQ have mainly been used for grade control. The Reflex orientation tool is used by drillers, with all core being oriented using Ezy-Mark to mark the bottom of the hole. The core is then re-constructed in V-Rail, where the orientation line is drawn along the core
    Drill sample recoveryCore recovery data from diamond drilling is systematically recorded by comparing drillers' depth blocks with database records and is stored in the geological database. If excessive core loss occurs, a wedge hole is often drilled to recover the lost interval. A review in 2019 confirmed no significant relationship between sample recovery and grade for either core or RC samples, with high core recovery minimising potential loss effects. Following the review, weighing each RC sample at the rig was implemented to ensure consistent sample support in resource estimation.
    LoggingGeological logging is conducted for all diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, capturing lithology, alteration, mineralisation, veining, and structure (for diamond core). Diamond drill holes are also quantitatively logged for veining, vein percentage, and structure. All drill core is photographed before sampling, using either slide film or digital cameras. Logged data is validated before merging into the database, which contains over 1,000 km of logged geology, covering approximately 80% of total drilling. Rock Quality Designation (RQD) is routinely recorded, with around 900 diamond holes geotechnically assessed. The level of logging detail is appropriate for resource estimation and related studies.
    Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparationSampling and quality control procedures are designed for the material being tested. Geologists define sample intervals to avoid crossing key lithological contacts and select appropriate assay methods. Diamond core is typically sampled as half-core, while RC samples are collected dry, with conditions recorded. Since 2015, cone splitters have replaced riffle splitters for RC sampling, with field duplicates taken at a 1:20 ratio.
    Core samples are processed through drying, crushing, and pulverising, with historical standards requiring 90% passing 75 µm. Older RC drilling used 0.5-2 m intervals, while recent resource definition drilling follows 1 m intervals (2 m for grade control), with a 5 kg primary split collected.
    Samples are prepared at the Telfer lab, where they are crushed, sub-split, and pulverised to 95% passing 106 µm. Gold is analysed via 30 g fire assay, while base metals, sulphur, and arsenic are tested by ICP. Cyanide-soluble copper is determined by bottle roll leach with AAS analysis. To ensure accuracy, 1 in 20 samples undergo external lab verification.
    Quality of assay data and laboratory testsAssay and quality control protocols at the Telfer deposit have evolved to align with industry standards. Before 1998, quality control procedures followed industry norms of the time, with no major concerns identified. From 1998 onwards, protocols were enhanced, particularly during prefeasibility and feasibility studies conducted between 1998 and 2002.
    Samples are primarily prepared at the Telfer laboratory and then sent to external commercial labs for analysis. Currently, all resource definition samples have been assayed through a combination of the Telfer Laboratory and the Bureau Veritas (BV) Commercial Lab in Perth and all grade control samples have been sent through Telfer Laboratory. Gold is analysed using fire assay, while multi-element analyses-including silver, arsenic, bismuth, copper, iron, nickel, lead, sulphur, and zinc-are conducted using ICP techniques. Cyanide-soluble copper is assessed via bottle roll leach with AAS analysis. Since 1998, comprehensive quality control measures have been in place, including the use of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), blanks, duplicate assays, blind pulp re-submissions and checks at independent laboratories. Matrix-matched CRMs were introduced in 1999, and transition to multi client CRMs in 2018. Since 2000, Telfer's laboratory was managed by commercial organisations until Telfer re-opening in 2002 has been managed by Newcrest and now, Greatland.
    Regular reviews of Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) procedures, including sample resubmissions and bias assessments, help ensure data accuracy and reliability. Monthly reports document any anomalies, with corrective actions taken as needed. Comparison studies, including analyses of duplicate pulp samples sent to external laboratories, confirm data precision, with a 90% repeatability rate. The QAQC protocols and assay techniques used are considered reliable for Mineral Resource estimation.
    During the 2002 feasibility study, 13,570 pulp duplicate samples were dispatched from the Telfer preparation laboratory for analysis at a check laboratory. Insignificant bias was identified between the original and check laboratories for gold (-0.8%) and copper (0.5%).
    Verification of sampling and assayingDrill hole data is securely stored in an acQuire database, with stringent controls to ensure data integrity and prevent errors or duplication. Data collection, including collar coordinates, drill hole designation, logging, and assaying, follows strict protocols to maintain accuracy. Validation involves multiple stages, with input from geologists, surveyors, assay laboratories, and down-hole surveyors where applicable.
    Data entry has evolved from manual methods to direct digital input, incorporating automated validation checks. Internal and external reviews further enhance data quality before resource estimation. Resource data is managed daily by site geologists, with additional verification by a centralised resource team.
    Sampling details are recorded digitally, utilising barcode and tracking systems to monitor sample integrity throughout the process. Recent drilling programs employ numbered bags for tracking consistency. Regular audits of both internal and commercial laboratories ensure compliance with quality standards. No assay data adjustments have been made in the Mineral Resource estimate.
    Location of data pointsMining operations at Telfer Gold Mine adhere to periodic reporting requirements for the WA Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS), using the MGA94/AHD coordinate system for official submissions. However, site operations utilise the Telfer Mine Grid (TMG) and Telfer Height Datum (THD), requiring coordinate transformations between the national and operational coordinate systems.
    This has been supplied by AAM Surveys in 1995 (AMG84 to Telfer Mine Grid) and AAMHATCH in February 2007 (Telfer Mine Grid to MGA Transformation). Both reports also addressed the height datum and in 2007 established the THD=AHD + 5193.7m.
    A local grid covers the whole of the Telfer mine area (Telfer Mine Grid 2002). It is oriented with grid north at 44o03'12' west of magnetic north.
    Topographic control is maintained through a combination of surface and aerial surveys, with routine updates for pits and underground voids. Drill hole collars are surveyed upon completion by mine surveyors. The natural surface topography, along with current pit surveys and underground voids (development, stopes and vertical openings) are used to deplete the resources and account for changes in mining areas at Telfer.
    Downhole survey methods have evolved over time, progressing from early single-shot cameras to modern electronic tools. Currently, drilling programs include multi-shot surveys at regular intervals, with post-completion surveys conducted at finer resolutions. Specific drilling campaigns may incorporate gyroscopic surveys where required. Routine in-pit drilling, particularly for pre-production and grade control, typically excludes downhole surveys, relying on collar surveys for accuracy.
    Data spacing and distributionThe drill hole spacing is sufficient to demonstrate geological continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and the classifications applied under the 2012 JORC Code.
    The drill spacing applied to specific domains within the overall resource is variable and is considered suitable for the style of mineralisation and mineral resource estimation requirements.
    Orientation of data in relation to geological structureThe Telfer mine site topography is dominated by two large scale asymmetric dome structures with steep west dipping axial planes. Main Dome is in the southeast portion of the mine and is exposed over a strike distance of 3 km north-south and 2 km east-west before plunging under transported cover. West Dome forms the topographical high in the northwest quadrant of the mine and has similar dimensions to Main Dome. Both fold structures have shallow to moderately dipping western limbs and moderate to steep dipping eastern limbs.
    Surface drilling is orientated to ensure optimal intersection angle for the reefs. Underground drilling orientation may be limited by available collar locations, but acceptable intersection angles are considered during the drill hole planning process. No orientation bias has been indicated in the drilling data.
    Sample securitySample security is maintained through a tracking system from drilling to database entry. While barcoding was previously used, it has been replaced with pre-numbered calico bags for resource development and underground drilling samples.
    All sample movements, including dispatch details, drill hole identification, sample ranges, and analytical requests, are recorded in a database. Any discrepancies identified upon receipt by the laboratory are validated to ensure data integrity.
    Audits or reviewsIn-house reviews of data, QAQC results, sampling protocols and compliance with corporate and site protocols are carried out at various frequencies by company employees not closely associated with the Telfer projects. Procedure audits and reviews are carried out by corporate employees during site visits.

    CriteriaCommentary
    Mineral tenement and land tenure statusMining and ore processing at Telfer operate under granted leases and licenses covering all key infrastructure, including open pits, underground resources, processing facilities, waste storage, and support services. The Telfer Main Dome Underground Mineral Resource is within mining leases M45/6 and M45/8, while the West Dome Mineral Resource, approximately 3km northwest of the Main Dome open pit, lies within leases M45/7 and M45/33. These leases are currently under renewal.
    An Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) has been in place since December 2015, covering all operational aspects of the site. Telfer operations also remain compliant with the Mining Rehabilitation Fund (MRF) levy.
    Exploration done by other partiesThe Telfer district was first geologically mapped by the Bureau of Mineral Resources in 1959, though no gold or copper mineralization was identified. In 1971, regional sampling by Day Dawn Minerals NL detected anomalous copper and gold at Main Dome. From 1972 to 1975, Newmont Pty Ltd conducted extensive exploration and drilling, defining an open pit reserve primarily in the Middle Vale Reef.
    In 1975, BHP Gold acquired a 30% stake in the project, and in 1990, Newmont and BHP Gold merged their Australian assets to form Newcrest Mining Limited. Newcrest managed exploration and resource drilling from 1990 until its acquisition by Newmont Corp on November 6, 2023. Newmont later divested Telfer, selling it to Greatland Gold on December 4, 2024, which now oversees exploration and drilling activities.
    GeologyTelfer is located within the northwestern Paterson Orogen and is hosted by the Yeneena Supergroup, a 9 km thick sequence of marine sedimentary rocks. Gold and copper mineralization occurs in stratiform reefs and stockworks within the Malu Formation of the Lamil Group, controlled by both structure and lithology.
    Mineralisation styles include high-grade narrow reefs, reef stockwork corridors, sheeted vein sets, and extensive low-grade stockwork, which forms most of the sulphide resource. Sulphide mineralisation consists mainly of pyrite and chalcopyrite, with copper minerals including chalcopyrite, chalcocite, and bornite. Gold is primarily free-grained or associated with sulphides and quartz/dolomite gangue, with a correlation between vein density and gold grade.
    The highest gold and copper grades occur within bedding sub-parallel reef systems, including multiple reef structures in Main Dome, such as E-Reefs, MVR, M10-M70 reefs, A-Reef, and B-Reefs (notably B30). Additional mineralisation occurs in northwest-trending and north-dipping veins. Stockwork mineralisation, found in open pits, Telfer Deeps, and the Vertical Stockwork Corridor (VSC), is best developed in the axial zones of Main Dome and West Dome, often extending over large areas (0.1 km to 1.5 km). It can include brecciated zones filled with quartz, carbonate, and sulphides
    Drill hole InformationRefer to Table 4 - Significant Intercepts.
    Data aggregation methodsSignificant assay intercepts are reported using length-weighted averages based on predefined thresholds, with a maximum allowable internal dilution.
    For Open pit (RC) significant intercepts a maximum of 5m of internal dilution, minimum width of 3m, minimum grade of 0.5g/t and a gram metre (grade x length) of greater than 10gm.
    For Underground diamond significant intercepts a maximum of 5m of internal dilution, minimum width of 1m, minimum grade of 0.5g/t and a gram metre (grade x length) of greater than 10gm.
    Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengthsSignificant assay intervals represent apparent widths, as drilling is not always perpendicular to the dip of mineralisation. True widths are typically less than downhole widths and can only be estimated once all results are received and final geological interpretations are completed. Where access permits all holes are drilled to intercept as close to true width as possible.
