29Metals Limited's June 2026 Quarterly Report highlighted several key developments and financial metrics. Copper production for the quarter declined to 4.8kt due to lower grades and recovery rates, while zinc production increased to 3.1kt. The company maintained site costs amidst inflation, focusing on cost reductions and productivity improvements. However, higher unit costs were reported due to lower copper sales and increased stockpile charges. Development at Oizon and Xantho Extended contributed to higher AISC costs. A strong liquidity position of $202 million comfortably supports the company’s growth plans. Drilling results suggest potential extensions of existing resources, with significant developments at Gossan Hill and Oizon. The Gossan Valley project is progressing towards first ore by year-end 2026, and plans for restarting Capricorn Copper are underway, pending regulatory approvals. Additionally, Colin Gilligan joined the board as a Non-executive Director, enhancing the board's expertise.
