Stage 7 feed22 Jan 2026 13:26
The one statement in the RNS that also had a de-risk element to it was :
Stage 7 Extension: Extension of the existing Stage 7 cutback towards the north (refer Figure 3), which is expected to provide Telfer's baseload ore feed for FY27 and FY28.
There is the ore for the next 2.5 years while we prove up extensions to MDU, WDU and Stage 2 ores.
Also this statement for WSC and lets hope it is a replica of the main dome as 5mt per year for 11 years is some serious ozs !
The drilling to date confirms continuous WSC mineralisation over 700m of strike, averaging approximately 40m wide (true width) x 150m dip extent (height), and remains open along strike, and up and down dip. These recent results indicate higher grade and increased width to the south of the Phase 1 drilling.
The WSC is considered comparable to the Vertical Stockwork Corridor or 'VSC' domain that was one of the dominant domains targeted by the Sub-Level Cave (SLC) at the Telfer Main Dome Underground from 2008 to 2019 (mining approximately 5Mtpa on average) and is a key extension opportunity currently under assessment.
