Native pours final gold for 2025

Native Mineral Resources (ASX:NMR) has announced its final gold pour for CY2025, pouring approximately 8.36kg (268.9 ounces) of gold doré from the Blackjack Gold Operations in northern Queensland. 

Since commencing gold projection in July this year, Native has produced approximately 1,460 ounces of gold at Blackjack, excluding the pour from 22 December 2025. With this, they generated a gross revenue of approximately $8.72 million.

The next gold pour at Blackjack is scheduled for 5 January 2026

CEO Blake Cannao notes that “the 22 December smelt is a strong finish to 2025 and reflects continued improvements in our operating rhythm at Blackjack. With refinery results expected by month end, we anticipate total gold sales revenue to reach around $10 million since commencing production in July.”

In other operational updates, Native will commence drilling at Podosky at the Ravenswood Gold Project in January 2026. This is part of a joint venture with Haoma Mining. Drilling will begin upon receipt of the estimated rehabilitation cost (ERC) approval. 

Native Mineral Resources will also continue to process material from the Blackjack and Far Fanning deposits, in addition to material from Ravenswood, in line with the company’s strategy to make Blackjack a central processing hub. 

Native Mineral Resources is advancing gold and base metals projects in Queensland, Australia.
