Vertex Minerals (ASX:VTX) has continued to grow its gold production, with the first 12 days of production in 2026 seeing 70 ounces of gold shipped on 13 January 2026.
The high-grade 640-Mica Vein-1618N contributed to the production figures, with low grade development material from Decline 3 contributing to the remainder of production.
Panels two and three will be fired from the 640-Mica Vein 1618N. Panel two will be fired at 48 tonnes at resource grade 37 grams per tonne and mined tonnes of 233 and grade of 7.61g/t; and panel three at 34 tonnes at resource grade 27.74g/t and mined tonnes of 156 and grade of 6.14g/t.
The plant will be supplemented with high grade feed from the 640-Mica Vein-1618N long hole stope and the 640-Mica Vein-1300N (“Humpty Dumpty”) air leg stope.
The company notes that they remain focused on increasing the stoping rate to a steady state which should deliver increases in grade for the gold gravity mill.
Vertex notes that development work needed to get to mining has been delayed due to ground conditions in the declines around their stopes. With safety a priority, the mining team has had to bolt and mesh the declines as well as grout cables into the rock to ensure safe conditions.
The company has also announced final sales revenue for December 2025 at $325,456.
Vertex Minerals is a gold exploration company, focused on delivering the Reward Underground Gold Mine in New South Wales.
