Operating Highlights
Chelopech produced approximately 47,000 ounces of gold and 6.4 million pounds of copper in the second quarter. Gold production was in line with expectations, while copper production was slightly below plan due to lower copper grades reflecting changes in mine sequencing. As per the mine plan, the Company continues to expect higher grades and increased production over the balance of the year, and Chelopech is on track to achieve its 2025 production guidance.
Ada Tepe produced 14,100 ounces of gold in the second quarter, in line with expectations. As disclosed in February 2025, gold production at Ada Tepe was forecast to nearly double in the second half of 2025, relative to the first half of the year, due to the cell sequencing of its integrated mine waste facility. Ada Tepe is on track to achieve its gold production guidance for the year.
