METRO MINING
Operational Update
Metro Mining Limited (ASX: MMI) ('Metro', the 'Company') is pleased to provide the following Operational Update for its Bauxite Hills Mine in Cape York, North Queensland:
- 563 thousand Wet Metric Tonnes (WMT) mined in April 2026 (33% increase YoY). This is a particularly strong result given the disruption to mining activities during Tropical Cyclone (TC) Narelle and has enabled a stockpile build-up in anticipation of increased shipping throughput with the return of the Offshore Floating Terminal (OFT), Ikamba.
- 416 thousand WMT shipped in April 2026 (2% decrease YoY). This represents a strong result given that shipping operated under single-transhipper conditions throughout Ikamba's drydock period. Three geared ultramax (60,000 DWT) vessels were chartered to supplement transhipping capacity. Three days of loading were lost in the month due to an unplanned breakdown of the floating crane barge, the sole transhipper in operation during this period.
- Ikamba recommenced operations on 3 May 2026. Following completion of its drydock maintenance program, Ikamba arrived back at Skardon River on 2 May 2026 and recommenced operations approximately 24 hours later. Full transhipping capacity is now restored.
Calendar year 2026 shipment guidance reaffirmed at 6.6 to 7.1 million WMT.
This announcement has been approved by the Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Mr Simon Wensley.
ENDS.
