Full Summary

Emerald Resources NL has announced that Works Approval for its 100% owned Dingo Range Gold Project has been granted by the Western Australian Government's Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. This is the final regulatory approval required for the project, allowing Dingo Range to commence development works. The granted Works Approval covers the project's processing plant, power station, tailings storage facility, and other ancillary infrastructure. Emerald has completed and commissioned the project's camp, which will house construction personnel and operational staff. Drilling programs are set to continue throughout 2026 to support mineral resource updates, focusing on open pit extensions and underground development potential. Emerald has also committed to the purchase of two 8,000kW Metso SAG Mills - one for Dingo Range and another for the 100% owned Memot Gold Project in Cambodia, along with a crushing circuit for Dingo Range, at a total cost of around A$30 million. The SAG Mills are expected to be supplied in around 12-13 months and represent the key long lead capital item that dictates the timing of first gold from both projects, which are fully licensed and funded for development. Emerald's Managing Director, Morgan Hart, stated that the company is pleased to have the Works Approval granted for Dingo Range, as it is now fully permitted for development and operations, a significant milestone. The commitment to purchase long lead capital equipment is the second key construction and infrastructure milestone at Dingo Range following the completion of the camp. Emerald has a proven history of building projects on time and on budget, and the company is confident in the development of both the Dingo Range and Memot Gold Projects.

Outlook

The company is focused on achieving its strategic objective of becoming a multi-mine 300K-400Kozs gold producer across two continents.
