19 May 2026 | Western Australia - Bellevue Gold has delivered first development ore from the high-grade Deacon North area at its Bellevue Gold Mine, marking another step in the company’s ramp-up and production growth plan.

The company said first ore from Deacon North was mined on schedule in May 2026, with development continuing for the remainder of FY26. Stoping is scheduled to commence early in FY27, with both development and stoping production expected to ramp up steadily through the year.

Bellevue said Deacon North will be a key source of high-grade material in FY27 and is expected to complement the established Deacon Main mining area immediately to the south. Combined output from Deacon North and Deacon Main is expected to provide a more reliable and consistent source of ore, supporting stable production for FY27 and beyond.

The company has estimated total capital expenditure for the expansion at A$375 million, including an expected A$233 million EPC contract with GR Engineering Services, which has been appointed preferred contractor.
