Overview

Production in the first quarter of 2023 was a record for a first quarter of any year since the commissioning of the Caijiaying Mine in 2005. Production output was unimpeded this quarter by the usual Chinese New Year holidays. Mining and processing rates have been ramped up to now run consistently at the equivalent of circa 1.5 million tonnes of ore per annum bringing with it the expected financial returns.

Chairman Mladen Ninkov commented,

"What another extraordinary result. The Caijiaying Mine is now clearly showing what it can achieve when it is unencumbered by extraneous events outside the Company's control. I look forward to an event free 2023 and the results which will thereby be generated."
