The Company advises that following what is now four months of excellent cashflow generation, it has elected to make a further principal repayment of US$1 million against its existing debt facility during October 2021. As advised previously, the Facility is not due for repayment until 30[th] September 2022, but Manuka has the capacity within the terms of the Facility to make early repayments with no penalty. The residual balance is now reduced to USD$8.0 million.
Manuka continues to work towards an internal target for debt repayment to occur in Q1 2022, in line with the conclusion of gold production from the current pit-shell at Mt Boppy.
Manuka will conduct its next blast at Mt Boppy on 18 November (RL 170), which is the final blast in the current mine program. Gold production from this current program is expected to continue into March 2022, following which the Company will commence processing its 515,000 tonnes of stockpiles (grading 70g/t silver as per ASX release 1 April 2021) located at the Wonawinta plant.
There are currently two drill rigs on site at Mt Boppy conducting an extensive exploration program, targeting mineralisation beneath the existing pit shell. This was outlined in the recent September 2021 Quarterly Activities Report. An exploration update will be released to the market during November.
