Telfer update12 Jun 2026 18:50
12 working days remain within which the Telfer updated ore reserve will be published.
The focus will be on how much of the 3.8Moz Measured and Indicated resource converts into mineable reserves? If reserve ounces move from around 0.7Moz currently to somewhere above 2Moz, the market is likely to view that very positively. Good (perhaps 1.5–2Moz reserve) or "transformational" (2.5Moz+ reserve).
A reserve statement showing several additional years of mine life would probably be one of the most important valuation drivers.
In addition, if metallurgists improve recovery from the existing 85% recovery to 86% recovery that extra 1% recovery might yield thousands of additional ounces of gold. If Greatland's engineers conclude they can recover 88% instead of 85%, or economically process lower-grade stockpiles, then reserve ounces can rise without discovering a single extra ounce in the ground.
Pay close attention to any mention of revised metallurgical recoveries, stockpile economics, West Dome underground recoveries and copper recoveries alongside the gold (AuEq).
Finally – when will he pitch it during the Space X IPO and the SoH debacle, to minimise the results being drowned out by superfluous headline grabbing news?
Enjoy your (blue) weekend.
