Chief Executive Officer of Great Divide Mining, Justin Haines, commented:
"In less than two years from IPO, GDM has achieved what many junior explorers only aspire to — produced first gold, are preparing for commercial production and cashflow, and an expanding project pipeline.
The first gold pour at Challenger represents the most tangible step in our evolution from explorer to producer. We’ve achieved it through disciplined execution, sustainable practices, and a focus on capital efficiency.
With redevelopment towards continuous operations ready to commence and new capital secured, our priority is ramping up production, expanding our resource base, and continuing to deliver value for shareholders as we head into FY26."

Adelong Venture
CHALLENGER GOLD MINE (NSW)
GDM achieved its first gold pour at the Challenger Gold Mine on 16 July 2025, triggering “Second Completion” under the March 2025 Share Sale Agreement, and increasing its ownership in Challenger Mines Pty Ltd to 51%.
The milestone was attended by representatives from GDM, Adelong Gold Ltd (ASX:ADG), and local government, with broad regional media coverage.
GDM is pursuing continuous operations in the next quarter with gravity-based processing using recycled water and no chemical additives, reflecting GDM’s commitment to sustainability.
The 1st Annual Plan for Challenger was presented to the JV Committee, setting out production, expansion, and mine redevelopment objectives. The Joint Venture parties are currently in dispute, with site operations paused pending resolution. The Joint Venture parties continue to have discussions in an effort to resolve that dispute.
