Production at Okvau totalled 47,064 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$1,104/oz. Sales volumes were 43,678 ounces at a robust average gold price, and the company maintained full-year FY26 production guidance (105–120koz gold at AISC of US$966/oz). Beyond Okvau, Emerald pushed ahead with advancing its fully permitted Dingo Range Gold Project (WA) and Memot Gold Project (Cambodia), both of which reported resource upgrades in early 2026.
What's next for Emerald Resources?
Looking ahead, Emerald Resources is progressing feasibility and development studies at both the Dingo Range and Memot gold projects. These projects are now fully permitted and delivered significant increases to their Mineral Resource Estimates, supporting growth well into FY26 and beyond.
Drilling and exploration continue across core regions in Western Australia and Cambodia, focused on extending known deposits and targeting additional resource growth. The company also aims to finalise maiden ore reserves at both Dingo Range and Memot in 2026, which should underpin project timelines for future production growth.
