Full summary

Meeka Metals Ltd has successfully achieved its target of 600ktpa throughput at its processing plant, consistently operating at this level through July and August 2026. The plant's performance has been enhanced through debottlenecking efforts, including improvements to the crushing circuit, material handling, and mill feed chute. The installation of the ore sorting circuit is well underway, with commissioning expected to commence in early October 2026. Ore sorting is anticipated to significantly improve the grade of ore delivered to the processing plant by separating high-grade ore for immediate treatment and stockpiling low-grade material for later processing. This will enable up to 800ktpa of run-of-mine material to be treated through the existing 600ktpa mill.
