Highlights
• Approximately one tonne of gold concentrate produced during commissioning
• Gekko mobile plant processed a significant volume of stockpiled material
• Bulk sampling program advances toward a JORC-compliant resource estimate

Everest Metals Corporation (ASX:EMC) is active in the mining and exploration sector, with operations centered on gold development in Western Australia's Murchison region. The Revere project recently reached an important operational milestone with the production of a considerable amount of gold concentrate that features visible grains of the metal. This progress was achieved during the commissioning phase of the bulk sampling program, which forms a key step in the advancement of the Revere Reef system along a notable mineralized strike.

Processing Operations
A mobile Gekko gravity processing plant was deployed to treat stockpiled material onsite. Operating at its designed throughput, the plant processed a substantial volume of ore, demonstrating the efficiency of this cost-effective and environmentally friendly technology. The processing method extracts gold without the use of cyanide or heavy chemicals, aligning with modern sustainable mining practices. Laboratory assessments in Perth have confirmed an impressive recovery rate from the treatment process.

Bulk Sampling Program
The ongoing bulk sampling program plays a central role in progressing toward a resource estimate that complies with JORC standards. By processing a segment of the extensive mineralized strike, the program provides critical data regarding the structures hosting the gold. The successful extraction of gold concentrate from a limited portion of the Revere Reef underscores the effectiveness of the sampling initiative in delineating high-grade mineralization.

Exploration Initiatives
Additional processing of the concentrate is underway in Perth, with further details on extraction outcomes expected in the upcoming quarter. An advanced aircore drilling campaign is planned to extend the investigation along the full length of the mineralized reef. This drilling effort will broaden the understanding of the gold-bearing structures and supports continued development activities at the Revere project.
