    The September 2026 quarterly cites a 1.7Moz AuEq resource at 7.4 g/t AuEq and footnotes the August 2024 PFS, while the 6 May 2025 DFS table (re-presented in the October 2026 investor presentation) gives 8,766kt at 4.0 g/t Au and 1.1% Sb (7.2 g/t AuEq, 1,135koz Au, 96kt Sb). The DFS table is the current JORC estimate and is used; the quarterly headline appears to carry the older PFS-era figure.
