Native Mineral Resources Holdings Limited produced 501.0 ounces of doré during its latest gold smelt at the Blackjack operations near Charters Towers, Queensland, on 15 September 2026.

The 501.0-ounce doré weight, equivalent to 15.58 kilograms, increased production from the 340.9-ounce combined weight achieved in the previous smelt on 8 September 2026. The 15 September pour comprised 330.6 ounces from elution, including associated carbon-in-leach pieces, and 170.35 ounces from the gravity circuit.

Mining activities across the Charter Towers (Blackjack) project advance across the Blackjack Mid Pit and Podosky deposits. Approximately 815 kilotonnes of material have been moved between the two pits since April and May 2026. Native Mineral Resources recommenced production at Blackjack in July 2025 and has achieved a cumulative official outturn of 14,027.0 ounces across historical operations to date.

“The latest 501-ounce doré smelt continues the consistent production momentum we are building at Blackjack following our record August gold result.” — Blake Cannavo, Managing Director and CEO

Official refinery results have now been received for bar BJM093 from the 8 September smelt. That bar had an official received weight of 276.8 ounces and returned assays of 39.68% gold and 49.63% silver, representing an official outturn of 109.9 ounces of gold and 137.4 ounces of silver.

Official refinery results for bar BJM094, the second bar from the 8 September smelt, remain pending alongside the results for the 15 September bars BJM095 and BJM096.

“With weekly smelting continuing and refinery results progressively being received, we remain focused on maintaining production and increasing gold output from the Blackjack Operations.” — Blake Cannavo, Managing Director and CEO

Native Mineral Resources expects to report official refinery results for BJM094 and the BJM095-096 doré bars next week.
