Ramelius managing director Mark Zeptner said the quarter closed out another year of reliable delivery, commending Never Never’s June-quarter result, which compared with 49,000 tonnes mined at 3.49g/t in the previous quarter. A further 25,000 tonnes of underground ore grading 4.35g/t remained stockpiled for processing at the end of June. “The Mt Magnet hub processed its first full Quarter of Never Never mine ore, processing 146kt ore at a grade of 5.37g/t,” Zeptner said. Mt Magnet processed 69,000 tonnes of Penny ore at 8.08g/t for 17,819 recovered ounces. Work is continuing on the Mt Magnet plant expansion, which is designed to lift capacity from 1.9 million tonnes per annum to 4.3 million tonnes by 2027–28.
