Hi everyone,
I was at the Town Hall last Thursday and what a fantastic night - it was the first one for a while that I'd been to so was great to catch up with a few familiar faces and meet plenty of new ones two. Shaun was on top form as usual but I must say I was very impressed with Rowan also - if he is a measure of the quality of the team that Shaun has built then we're 100% in good hands.
Shaun was waxing lyrical about all aspects of Telfer, Havieron, O' Callaghan's, South East Hub, Camp Dome, etc, etc but when he was pushed about what was exciting him the most - he was unanimous about the West Dome Deeps - he just couldn't keep the smile off his face and confided that he found it hard to believe that a full quartile of the Telfer deposit was lying there untouched ready for us to exploit.
So I have had a look back through the old NCM presentations & exploration reports over the weekend and found some cracking slides from the early 2010's that show NCM had a good handle on what was down there but seemed to lose interest in Telfer around late 2012/early 2013. The gold price has taken a hit and they had bought Lihir for $10Bn at the height of the bull market and were forced to take a big write down on that.
It seems they starved Telfer of exploration capex and never returned to it - how lucky can we be to have it sat there close to the Main Dome UG infrastructure and with gold back in another amazing bull run. I literally can't wait to see the next set of drill results from there followed closely by the maiden MRE in 2026.

Have a look at the first slide that says there is continuity in the reefs from the main dome and then the second slide that shows 4.6Moz targets in the SLC & VSC targets at the main dome - with the OP/Main Dome UG & Havieron currently in excess of 10Moz resource - how much is going to be added in 2026??
