Contributions and company outcomes
Black Swan permitting and early works progressed, while first production remained a target
2026-07 to 2026-08 · issuer reported · low materiality
By August 2026, Maritana reported approval of the mining development and closure proposal and a works approval for the new CIL circuit, borefield upgrades and first construction-camp stage. It targeted first gold in H2 2027 and still expected to lodge a separate tailings-storage development proposal. These are development milestones, not operating delivery.
