The Karlawinda Gold Project's September-quarter production was 31,218 ounces, compared with 30,437 ounces in the previous quarter. The company said the result and commissioning of the Karlawinda Expansion Project put the operation on track for FY27 guidance of 137,000 to 147,000 ounces.
Construction of the Karlawinda Expansion Project was completed on schedule and within budget during the quarter. Commissioning was completed in September, with continuous ore processed through new parallel crushing, milling and carbon-in-leach circuits, and targeted steady-state throughput of 6.5 million tonnes a year achieved.
Capricorn reported that 1.9 million tonnes of ore were mined during the quarter, lifting ore stocks to 8.4 million tonnes to support the start of expanded operations. The processing plant treated 1.13 million tonnes at a head grade of 0.94 grams per tonne, with gold recovery of 91.7%.
