The 6-K confirms exceptional drill results at Wharekirauponga — including 6.3m @ 97.2 g/t Au, one of the highest-grade intercepts reported to date — and adds material new detail on the Waihi North Project. The company is evaluating a processing plant expansion to 1.2 Mtpa (up from 0.8 Mtpa) that would enable concurrent mining of Martha Underground and Wharekirauponga Underground, potentially extending Martha's life beyond 2033.
