Native Mineral Resources (ASX:NMR) expects Perth Mint results next week for its latest 711.5-ounce doré pour from the Blackjack Processing Plant in Queensland.
The plant, located near Charters Towers, completed its second November smelt on 10 November. The smelt produced three doré bars (BJM118–120) with a combined gross weight of 711.5 ounces, including 236.2 ounces from the gravity circuit and 475.3 ounces from the elution circuit.
Official mint weight, assays, and refined outturn are due next week.
The pour follows the confirmation of 474.9 ounces of refined gold and 330.9 ounces of refined silver from the 3 November smelt (BJM114–117), which averaged 53.81% gold and 37.49% silver from an official refinery weight of 882.6 ounces.
Combined with 519.4 ounces of refined gold from the 27 October smelt, the last two confirmed weekly smelts have yielded 994.3 ounces of refined gold.
Managing Director Blake Cannavo notes that this week’s 712-ounce pour is the company’s third weekly smelt in a row above 700 ounces.
“That kind of consistency is what we have been working towards at the plant, and it gives us a solid start to November,” Cannavo says.
Since production started in July 2025, Blackjack has produced 19,311.9 ounces of gross doré, yielding 7,667.6 ounces of refined gold and 7,980.7 ounces of refined silver to date.
