London, 18 July 2025 - AltynGold (LSE:ALTN) is pleased to announce its production and operational update for the six months to 30 June 2025 ("H1 2025" or the "Period"). The Period delivered a 44% increase in gold production as it started to gain the full benefit of the processing plant upgrade at its primary Sekisovskoye asset.
Operational highlights
During H1 2025, AltynGold continued to scale production at the Sekisovskoye mine, achieving its targeted monthly mining run rate of 83Kt. Ore mined during the Period increased by 35% YoY to 451Kt, while ore milled rose by 62% to 453Kt. The commissioning of the third processing line and further infrastructure improvements during the second quarter supported this consistent growth in volumes.
Gold poured totalled 28,081oz in H1 2025, a 44% increase from H1 2024 (17,413oz). Gold sold during the period totalled 22,595oz (H1 2024: 17,247oz). The average gold grade processed remained steady at 2.04g/t, with a recovery rate of 84.75%, in line with the first quarter.
A strong production performance contributed to a sharp increase in revenue, which rose to $70m during the Period, up 84% from H1 2024 ($38 million). This was supported by a 39% YoY increase in the average realised gold price, which rose to $3,098/oz.
The Company remains on track to achieve its full-year production target of 50,000oz. With the new processing line fully operational, the targeted mining run rate of 83Kt per month has been reached, and output is increasing in line with expectations. The strong operational performance in the first half provides a strong base for continued delivery in the second half of the year.
