What else do investors need to know?

Pantoro Gold is progressing with multiple growth activities across its 100%-owned Norseman Gold Project. The company completed a change of underground mining contractor at the OK Underground Mine in May, leading to improved development and production rates in subsequent months.

The discovery of a high-grade zone in the Racetrack deposit, 600 metres north of the OK Underground Mine, has been highlighted as a strong target for future production growth. In addition, a major exploration program commenced at Lake Cowan following aboriginal heritage surveys, aiming to unearth further high-grade gold resources in the area.

Ongoing investment in both open pit and underground development is underpinning Pantoro's long-term strategy to grow production and extend mine life at its Norseman operations.

What did Pantoro Gold management say?

Managing Director Paul Cmrlec said:

We continue to invest in the future development of Norseman, expanding our operational capabilities and progressing our key growth initiatives. The team has delivered improved results despite some operational headwinds this quarter, and our exploration programs are paving the way for the next stage of growth.

What's next for Pantoro Gold?

Pantoro Gold is targeting production of 90,000 to 105,000 ounces of gold in FY2027, with the start of mining at the Green Lantern Open Pit scheduled for late August 2026. Further development is underway at the Mainfield, Phoenix, O'Briens Lode, and other priority areas.

The company expects personnel levels at all underground mines to be rebuilt by the end of September, which should support increased production rates. Ongoing exploration at Racetrack, Lake Cowan, and other prospects remain central to unlocking new resources and supporting Pantoro's strategy to scale annual output towards 200,000 ounces over time.
