Company presentation summary
9 Feb, 2026Project overview and resource base
Apollo Hill Gold Project holds a 2.24Moz Au Mineral Resource, with 82% in Measured & Indicated categories and a Maiden Ore Reserve of 1.59Moz Au, reflecting an 86% resource-to-reserve conversion rate.
The project is located in a major gold province in Western Australia, with 100% ownership of approximately 1,000km² of underexplored tenure.
Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) outlines a 14-year mine life with a 1.77Moz production target and a Net Present Value (NPV8%) of $973M at a gold price of A$4,300/oz.
The project features low strip ratios (2.39:1), thick ore zones, and bulk mining potential, supporting economies of scale and low operating costs.
Regional exploration and gravity surveys are planned to unlock further growth and resource expansion.
Metallurgy and processing
Metallurgical testing shows excellent gold recoveries: 78–88% in fresh rock and oxide/transitional material using heap leach with HPGR crushing.
The process uses low reagent consumption and demonstrates strong percolation and agglomeration characteristics, supporting efficient heap leach operations.
PFS assumes a 73.7% recovery rate and a 160-day stacking schedule, with conventional heap leach processing.
Production and mining plan
Life-of-mine production targets 117.4Mt at 0.47g/t for 1.77Moz contained gold, with an average annual recovered gold of 106koz over 12 years.
Mining inventory is at surface, with large selective mining units and low unit costs, using 10m benches and 5m sub-benches.
The project is designed for a 10Mtpa run capacity, with a simple, flat production schedule and a low-cost scenario.
