Seis, here is what Leon said
"The Company is underway with a study to install a copper leaching facility at Roan to offer greater flexibility and further enhance margins. The refining step will also seek to recover the oxide copper lost in the very fine fraction accounting for nearly 60% of total losses at Roan.
Following the upgrade of Roan and successful trials earlier in the year, the Company has secured a feedstock supply agreement with a nearby third-party operation, targeting an average grade of 1.6% Cu.
"Roan consists of two main processing circuits that offers flexibility to process both ROM and copper tailings material. At present Roan is operating at a throughput target of 1 000 tonnes per day. The option exists to reintroduce the Roan front end DMS circuit. This option will be considered after the current seasonal change with the rainy season expected to commence during November 2025.
Roan performed to expectation during Q1 FY2026 reaching 915 tonnes of copper in concentrate over the period. Production levels at Roan are targeted to be maintained within a similar range to current production levels for the next quarter. Factoring in the seasonal impact of the upcoming rainy season, with production expected to range between 900 and 950 for the three month period"
