What did Medallion Metals management say?
Managing Director Paul Bennett said:
Medallion emerges from this capital raising in an extremely strong position to progress to commercial production of gold and copper. Project development activities are advancing rapidly at both Ravensthorpe and Forrestania, with toll treatment expected to commence in October and commissioning of the expanded and modified process plant on Ravensthorpe feed targeted for mid-2027.
With the company’s funding position in excess of the project requirements, we have the ability to accelerate drilling programs at our most prospective targets, with the objective of growing the production profile across our projects. We welcome our new shareholders and appreciate the continued support of our existing shareholders. The backing of this high-quality group of resources investors is a significant endorsement of our team, assets and near-term gold-copper production strategy.
What’s next for Medallion Metals?
The company expects to commence toll treatment at Forrestania in October and aims to commission the upgraded Ravensthorpe plant by mid-2027. With strong financial backing, Medallion can accelerate drilling and advance projects with fewer funding constraints.
Investors can look forward to steady progress reports, including potential resource growth and milestone achievements across the portfolio throughout 2026 and into 2027.
