Commenting on the May copper production, Hillgrove CEO and Managing Director, Lachlan Wallace said:
“I am pleased to report that our copper production at Kanmantoo continues to increase. Importantly,
we are achieving steady increases in all key operating metrics, including production, feed grade and
recovery.
With the appreciation of the copper price, along with the increased production profile, it is planned
that May’s revenue will exceed costs, providing the first positive period since operations commenced
in June 2023. To achieve this financial outcome in less than 12 months from final investment decision
is a remarkable effort by the team.
We look forward to reporting the cash position and June results in the quarterly report on or around
the end of July, after which we will revert to quarterly reporting in line with standard practices.”
