Gerard Bond, President and CEO of OceanaGold, said “We are pleased to deliver another quarter of solid gold production, generating strong free cash flow which allows us to invest in our attractive organic growth projects, strengthen our balance sheet and still return meaningful capital to shareholders. During the quarter we commenced development of the decline towards the high-grade Wharekirauponga orebody, a significant milestone in advancing the Waihi North Project, and are progressing to plan. At Haile, we continued to progress the Palomino decline and released additional high-grade drill results that further demonstrate our ability to add value through the drill bit. With increased gold production expected in the second half of the year we remain focused on delivering on our guidance, reducing our unit costs, generating further free cash flow and continuing to create value for our shareholders.”

Outlook

 

The Company’s 2026 production, cost and capital Guidance is outlined in the table below and remains unchanged.

 

Production is expected to increase in the second half of the year, with consolidated third quarter production expected to be similar to the second quarter, and the fourth quarter being the strongest of the year.

 

At Haile, gold production is expected to increase in the third quarter, then again in the fourth quarter driven by higher grades mined in the Ledbetter Phase 3 open pit and the Horseshoe Underground. Macraes production is expected to be lower in the third and fourth quarters as per plan, while production at Waihi is expected to remain relatively consistent through the remainder of the year. At Didipio, production is expected to be higher in the third and fourth quarters driven by an increase in underground mining rates.

 

Consolidated AISCis anticipated to be near the upper end of the Company’s 2026 Guidance range, reflecting labour cost inflation, continued investment in maintenance and reliability improvements, unhedged energy costs and lower silver by-product credits. Consolidated AISCis expected to be lower in the third quarter and again in the fourth quarter, underpinned by lower sustaining capital and higher production at Haile. AISC at each of Haile, Didipio and Waihi is expected to reduce in the second half of the year. AISC at Macraes is expected to increase in the second half, with its full-year AISC expected to be within its Guidance range.

 

Total capital investment guidance remains unchanged, with spending on growth capital expected to increase in the second half of the year, primarily driven by the continued investment in the Waihi North and Palomino Underground Projects and waste stripping activities at Haile, while sustaining capital across the portfolio is expected to decrease in the second half of the year.

Waihi North Project

 

OceanaGold is permitted to develop and operate the Waihi North Project, which includes the high-grade Wharekirauponga Underground mine. Construction and underground tunnelling activity to the underground mine continues to ramp up with overall project development progressing on schedule for first ore in 2032.

 

Following completion of the portal, decline development commenced in May 2026 and is progressing in line with plan, nearing 200 metres to date. The next key milestone involves the addition of a second jumbo to begin the twin incline towards the Wharekirauponga orebody.

 

Execution of bulk earthworks accelerated at the Willows Portal site in the second quarter and earthwork activities related to drainage, dams, roads, magazine and the surface facilities area remain on track for completion by year-end. Construction of the services trench connecting the existing Waihi operations with the Willows surface facilities, providing power, water and communications infrastructure, was completed in July. Construction of the water treatment plant remains ongoing, with commissioning expected by the end of the third quarter. Early works activities on TSF 3 are expected to commence in the fourth quarter.
