In line with the Company’s development plan, two historic mining areas were re-established during the year, Princeton Top and Galaxy 26/27 levels, which along with significant investment in mining equipment from both a capital and preventative maintenance perspective enabled gold production to increase 69% compared to 2024. This significant increase in production, combined with the material increase in realised gold price during 2025 has enabled the Company to invest further in the Galaxy development plan and sustainable future production growth while also significantly improving the Company’s balance sheet and working capital position. We are confident that our investments will continue to result in increasing production at Galaxy.’(1)
