Artem Volynets, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACG, said:
"ACG delivered a strong first half of 2026 through safe and disciplined execution at Gediktepe. We exceeded our full-year oxide gold and silver production target within six months, while higher realised metal prices and cost optimisation supported robust revenue, EBITDA and operating cash flow. At the same time, we advanced the Sulphide Expansion Project towards first copper concentrate production safely and within budget. Our focus now is on the disciplined ramp-up toward full commercial production by the end of 2026, and converting this investment into sustainable long-term value for shareholders."
Financial and Operating Highlights
· Revenue increased by 27% from US$71 million in H1 2025 to US$90 million in H1 2026, with adj. EBITDA increased by 19% from US$40 million to US$48 million.
· Realised gold and silver prices increased by 64% and 142%, respectively, to US$4,838/oz and US$78.2/oz, supporting strong revenues.
· Gold equivalent production of 18,487 oz exceeded the full-year oxide production target of 17,500 oz AuEq, down 17% on H1 2025 as expected during the transition from oxide to sulphide production. Residual production and re-leaching of Gediktepe oxide ore is expected to contribute a further approximately 2,500 oz AuEq by year end.
· AISC increased by 52% to US$1,609/oz vs H1 2025, reflecting lower oxide production volumes in line with mine plan and higher royalties linked to increased gold and silver prices.
· Financial Net Debt was US$140 million at 30 June 2026, supported by cash of US$60 million, including US$28 million of restricted cash.
· The Sulphide Expansion Project reached 87.2% completion at 30 June 2026, with all major equipment delivered to site; first copper concentrate was produced on 31 August 2026, safely and within budget.
