Greatland Resources (GGP LN) 699p, Mkt Cap £4.7bn – FY26 results show a sharp rise in Telfer’s gold output
- Reporting on results for its first full year of ownership of the Telfer mine in WA, Greatland Resources reports after-tax profit of A$862m and EBITDA of A$1.3bn and a 30th June cash balance of A$1.3bn.
- The financial results reflect production of 328,987oz of gold and 14,594t of copper, at an average cost of $2,179/oz gold produced on an all-in-sustaining costs basis.
- Gold production resulted from the processing of ~19.2mt of ore at an average grade 0.58g/t gold at an average recovery rate of 88.0%.
- A 75% increase in the volume of ore treated and improved recovery rates offset slightly lower feed grade to deliver a 66% rise in production from 198,319oz to 326,859oz.
- Managing Director, Shaun Day, said that “Our first full financial year of Telfer under our ownership delivered exceptional operating results, driven by significant productivity improvements in our open pit and underground mines, and an excellent performance in our processing operations”.
- Greatland Resources confirms its previously issued FY2027 production and cost guidance of 260-300koz of output at all-in-sustaining costs in the range A$2,900-3,330/oz.
- “FY27 growth capital spending is guided to be $315 – $335 million at Telfer and $365 – $435 million at Havieron, with expenditure of $70 – $80 million across resource development and exploration”.
- Today’s announcement confirms that initial gold production from Havieron is expected “during FY29”.
- The December 2025 Feasibility Study pre-production capital expenditure of A$1.1bn at Havieron generating 4.1moz of gold production and 153kt of copper over an 11 year mine life.
- Using a gold price of A$4,500/oz (currently ~A$6,400/oz) the Study describes the investment in Havieron generating an after-tax NPV5% of ~A$2.9bn and IRR of 22.5%.
- “After the financial year ended 30 June 2026 Greatland received all necessary secondary approvals for the Havieron project, which permit the commencement of surface disturbance and development activities”.
- Mr. Day summarised progress at Havieron saying that “our Feasibility Study … confirmed the pathway to a world-class Australian gold-copper mine leveraging existing Telfer infrastructure, and subsequently made our final investment decision for the project”.
- He confirmed that Greatland Resources “will commence the construction phase for Havieron” in FY27.
Conclusion: The first full year of its stewardship of the Telfer mine has delivered a 66% increase in the mine’s gold output as the company also moves into construction at the nearby Havieron project over the next year.

Guardian Metal Resources (GMET LN) 195.5p, Mkt Cap £389m – Pilot Mountain Technical Report
- Guardian Metal Resources, which issued the results of its pre-feasibility study (PFS) for the Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project in Nevada in June has now published the supporting Technical Report Summary on its website at https://guardianmetalresources.com/project/pilot-mountain-project/.
- As reported in June, the study envisages an open-pit mining operation over an initial 8-year mine-life delivering a total of “15,916 tonnes of recovered WO3, with significant opportunity to extend through ongoing exploration at the Tremor Zone, Gunmetal, Hope, plus other unnamed target areas across the Project”.
- Using a base price of “US$197,300 per tonne of WO3, representing a ~35% discount to the mid-price for APT … as of 12 June 2026” the study concludes that initial capital expenditure of US$288.7m, plus an additional US$33.9m of sustaining capital, is expected to generate an after-tax NPV8% of US$660m and IRR of 59.6%.
- Subject to regulatory approvals, the “PFS estimates first production in late 2028”.
- The initial operation will develop the Desert Scheelite and Garnet deposits which are 2km apart and jointly host a combined ‘Probable’ ore reserve of 11.8mt at an average grade of 0.171% tungsten trioxide (WO3), 9.28g/t silver and 0.28% zinc at an average waste:ore stripping ratio of 12.6:1.
- A 4,000tpd “processing plant using flotation recovery methods to produce a tungsten concentrate” is expected to deliver production at an average operating cost, net of by-product credits, of US$54,622/t or US$58,151 on an all-in-sustaining cost (AISC) basis.
Conclusion: The Technical Report underlying the Pilot Mountain PFS is now available and we look forward to the opportunity to gain improved insight into the details of the project.
KEFI Gold and Copper* (KEFI LN) 1.2p, Mkt Cap £168m – Tulu Kapi underground mine updated PEA
BUY – 4.2p
- The Company launched detailed planning for the Tulu Kapi Underground Mine to complement open pit operations that are currently in construction.
- Updated Tulu Kapi Underground Mine PEA highlights include:
- Mining inventory ~2.4mt 3.3g/t ~250koz (compared to March 2025 assumptions 1.5mt 4.2g/t ~200koz)
- Larger tonnage and in-situ gold at a lower grade account for a reduction in the cut-off grade and higher gold price assumptions (1.45g/t COG, $2,350/oz)
- The mine plan for a steady c.500ktpa steady state stoping run rate
- Underground ore to be blended with open pit feed using a 20% increase in plant throughput above ~2.0mtpa nameplate (associated capital costs are factored in)
- ~94% gold recoveries
- US$8.1m development capital with a maximum cash drawdown during construction and ramp up ~$10.5m
- Underground estimated to contribute ~237koz in production on top of ~985koz estimated from open pit for a total of ~1.2moz over 7-8y LOM.
- Combined open pit and underground AISC estimated at ~US$1,100-1,300/oz at assumed $3,000-5,000/oz reflecting higher government royalties in Ethiopia (7%).
- Post-tax NPV5 ~US$274m and IRR 220%, 9 months payback, $2,350/oz gold price
- Underground development is expected to be funded by open pit FCFs.
- Latest Tulu Kapi underground MRE (2015) stands at 1.2mt 5.7g/t 219koz (1.1mt in M&I)
- Drilling from underground also planned to test extensions to high grade mineralisation that has not been delineated yet.
- Proposed underground development timeline:
- Engineering studies completion 4Q27
- Decline development to start post open pit commissioning mid-2028
- Infill and step out drilling from underground and updated MRE 2029
- First stope and ramp-up to steady state 2029
- On open pit construction progress, development works are now in month six with the focus on community resettlement and mobilisation for construction.
- Activities are expected to accelerate with the start of dry season.
Conclusion: Updated Tulu Kapi Underground Mine PEA results reiterate attractive economics of a bolt on underground operation to blend higher grade feed with Tulu Kapi open pit currently in construction. New PEA includes larger tonnage and contained ounces as cut off grades are adjusted following a strong run in gold prices. Capital light and funded with open pit FCF, Tulu Kapi underground development presents a straightforward value accretive proposition (included in the Company’s and ours target Tulu Kapi NPV combined open pit/underground development plan). Future works to focus on engineering studies and drilling to de-risk the existing mineral inventory as well as testing potential extensions.
