Operational Updates

  • Jericho Copper Deposit: Drilling at Jericho, located in Northwest Queensland, confirmed significant copper-gold intercepts in the Matilda and Jolly shoots.

Outlook and Growth Plans

Looking forward, AIC Mines is well-positioned to capitalise on both operational progress and favorable commodity markets:

  • FY26 Guidance: Copper production is forecast at 12,800–13,100 tonnes, alongside 6,000–6,500 ounces of gold, at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of AUD 4.85–5.25/lb.
  • Eloise Expansion: Construction of the Eloise processing plant upgrade remains on track to lift capacity to 1.1Mtpa by late 2026, enabling integration of Jericho ore and enhancing production scalability.
  • Jericho Development: The Jericho Access Drive is scheduled for completion by June 2026, paving the way for first ore and resource conversion drilling to support a ramp-up to 600ktpa.
  • Commodity Tailwinds: With gold recently surpassing USD 3,600/oz and copper demand rising amid energy transition trends and constrained supply, AIC Mines looks forward to benefit from long-term market conditions.
