Meeka Metals Ltd. has initiated ore development at Judy North, a previously unmined orebody within the Andy Well underground mine, with an initial resource of 96koz @ 5.4g/t Au. Development commenced in May 2026 and is currently ramping up. The development grade is performing in line with the Mineral Resource, and it is expected to improve on subsequent levels based on drilling results. Three development drills are currently operating at Andy Well, focusing on the Wilber and Judy lodes. Ore development is planned to commence in a third mining area, Suzie, in the September 2026 quarter. Stoping is on track to commence in the Wilber area in the current quarter. Meeka's Managing Director, Tim Davidson, highlighted that Judy North, despite being a new mining area with no previous development history, displays the same high gold grades typical of other active mining areas at Andy Well.
