The company reported strong Q2 2026 financials with sales of US$75.91 million and net income of US$23.81 million, up from the previous year. Exploration at the Blanket mine revealed significant gold mineralization potential for low-cost operations.

The company is expanding its credit facility to US$900 million for greater financial flexibility.
