Gross profit and cash flows from operations of A$1m and A$14m respectively, was underpinned by gold production of 61,885oz at an All in Sustaining Cost ('AISC') of A$1,950/oz.

Additionally, there was significant concurrent investment into site-based capital infrastructure (primarily a new tailings storage facility) and preproduction mining activities (primarily at Williamson). These major investing activities will sustain and create substantial value over the next 12-15 months as the Company transitions to the production of gold in concentrate.
