Mining is due to end in late November, though gold processing and production from Mt Boppy ore is expected to continue until February next year.

MKR Executive Chairman Dennis Karp said he was very pleased with the sales record.

“The September Quarter has been excellent in terms of gold production, sales and profit,” Mr Karp said.

“I look forward to advising the September profit and that for the Quarter. It is stating the obvious, but the contribution to free cashflow from three good months is material.”

Manuka also advised today that it was planning to intensify its exploration program at Mt Boppy South as it investigates the sites potential for mining.

“The intensified exploration program over around 29,000 metres of drilling is also very exciting, as success could be transformational for the company,” Mr Karp said.
