Meeka Metals Limited has expanded its group Mineral Resources to approximately 1.5 million ounces at 2.8 grams per tonne gold as of 30 June 2026, up from 1,235,000 ounces a year earlier.

The increase follows the acquisition of the Mt Holland project within Western Australia’s Forrestania greenstone belt, which added an initial Mineral Resource of 270,000 ounces at 2.4 grams per tonne.

Conversely, group Ore Reserves decreased from 400,000 ounces at 30 June 2025 to 355,000 ounces at 2.8 grams per tonne at the end of June 2026, following mining depletion across the company’s operations. Commercial gold production at the Murchison Gold Project began following the first gold pour on 1 July 2025, with open-pit mining concluding in July 2026.

The annual review also incorporated 810,000 tonnes grading 1.0 gram per tonne for 25,000 ounces of run-of-mine stockpiles into both Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, while removing the St Anne’s open pit Ore Reserve.

“We have grown the resource through acquisition this year. We expect growth next year to be through the drill bit with the substantial drilling we are currently completing in the Murchison and soon to begin at Mt Holland. Potential additio n s in the Murchison include Rosapenna and the high -grade depth extension at Turnberry , as well as the significant number of targets we have at Mt Holland.”

— Tim Davidson, Managing Director and CEO

Commissioning of the new ore sorting circuit at the Murchison Gold Project is scheduled to commence in early October 2026.
