ASX Announcement
Classic Secures Strategic Non-Binding Ore Feed MoU
Highlights
-
Non-Binding MOU signed with Bain Global Resources Pty Ltd (Bain) to potentially supply up to 50,000 t/month for 36 months to Goldbridge.
-
Processing facility capacity to start from ~250 ktpa, 500 ktpa, or 1 Mtpa growth pathway.
-
Growth model anchored by the Ladies and future exploration success , complemented by third-party ore for flexibility and revenue diversification.
-
Legal demand on HPH ongoing in the Supreme Court; feasibility and early development works underway.
Classic Minerals Limited (“Classic” or “the Company”) (ASX: CLZ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Non-Binding Memorandum of Understanding (NB-MOU) with Bain Global Resources Pty Ltd (“Bain”) in relation to ore from the Rama Gold Project, Forrestania region, Western Australia.
Under the NB-MOU, the parties will work towards negotiating binding agreements for the delivery of up to 50,000 tonnes of gold bearing ore per month for a term of up to 36 months. This material strengthens Classic’s ability to position the Goldbridge Processing Facility as a regional processing hub
Plant Strategy & Growth Model
Classic’s growth plan is anchored on a multi-staged p rocessing facility, with management to determine whether to pursue a staged pathway or proceed directly to one of the following capacity options:
-
Option 1: ~250 ktpa (baseline CIL circuit)
-
Option 2: Expansion to 500 ktpa
-
Option 3: Direct build or future scaling to 1 Mtpa, capturing broader regional feed
The strategy blends:
-
Core in-house ore from the Lady Ada and Lady Magdalene (“the Ladies”) as the cornerstone feed base
-
Third-party feed flexibility, enabled by the Bain MOU and future partnerships, to optimise throughput and create additional revenue streams through toll treating, profit-share, or ore purchase models.
This structure reduces single-asset risk, improves plant utilization, and broadens Classic’s revenue foundation.

Legal Action & Development Pathway
Classic continues to update the market on its deliberate legal action against Hyden Project Holdings Pty Ltd (HPH) to secure full tenure over the Ladies and wider FGP tenement package, which remains before the Supreme Court of Western Australia. The Company looks forward to resolution in due course. Importantly, any agreements or transactions that HPH may have attempted over the tenements would be rendered immediately void upon the Court confirming Classic’s 100% legal ownership.
In parallel, feasibility studies and early-stage development works have already commenced on the Ladies in line with Classic’s production-based growth model, ensuring that once tenure is confirmed, development can be advanced without delay.
Managing Director John Lester commented:
“This NB-MOU reinforces regional demand for the Goldbridge facility and underscores our productionbased growth strategy. We are currently testing a range of scenarios as part of the feasibility stage before making a final decision on nameplate capacity. The facility is designed to commence at either 250 KTPA, scale up to 500 KTPA, or straight to 1 MTPA. With secure ore from the Ladies, additional feed from third-party sources, and legal matters advancing, Classic is firmly positioned to deliver sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.”
