AIC Announce Eloise Three-Year Production Outlook

 

AIC Mines Limited (ASX: A1M) (“AIC Mines” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce its FY27 Production and Cost Guidance, and FY28 and FY29 Production
Targets for the combined Eloise and Jericho copper mines.

This is an exciting period for the Company, as it transitions from a small-scale single mine operation to a 1.5Mtpa dual mine operation producing over 25,000tpa copper in concentrate.

 

 

CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Shares on Issue: 797,619,821

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

• FY27 Guidance: The combined Eloise and Jericho projects are expected to
produce 17,500t – 18,500t Cu in concentrate in FY27, weighted to the second
half of the year following commissioning of the 1.1Mtpa plant expansion. The
blended average AISC is expected to fall within a range of A$4.80/lb – A$5.20/lb
(US$3.36 – US$3.64/lb) Cu sold and AIC of A$5.20/lb – A$5.60/lb (US$3.64/lb –
US$3.92/lb) Cu sold, net of by-product credits. Reduced underground
development at Eloise drives strong cashflow, particularly in the first half of FY27.

• FY28 Production Target of 20,000 – 22,000t Cu in concentrate: Commissioning
of the Stage 1 Eloise plant expansion to 1.1Mtpa and ramp-up of underground
production at the Jericho mine is planned for the December 2026 Quarter. This
is expected to increase copper production by approximately 50% to over
20,000tpa in concentrate from FY28 (see cautionary statement below).

• FY29 Production Target of 25,000 – 27,000t Cu in concentrate: The Stage 2 Eloise
plant expansion to 1.5Mtpa is now targeted to be completed in the December
2028 Quarter, approximately 2 years earlier than previously planned. This
expansion, along with accelerated underground development at Jericho, is
expected to increase copper production by a further 25% to over 25,000tpa in
concentrate from FY29 (see cautionary statement below).

• No additional funding is required for the Stage 2 Eloise plant expansion or
accelerated underground development at Jericho. However, the US$40 million
Trafigura Prepayment Facility for the Eloise Expansion Project (currently drawn
to US$30 million) has recently been expanded by US$10 million to a total US$50
million to ensure cost overruns or production delays can be managed, if required.
• Cautionary Statement: The Guidance and Production Targets are based on a
combination of approximately 95% Probable Ore Reserves and 5% Inferred Mineral
Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred
Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result
in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that a Production Target
will be realised. Refer to page 5 and Appendix 1 of this announcement for the
material assumptions pertaining to the Production Targets.

All $ figures in this report refer to A$ unless otherwise stated. US$ data is based on an AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.7.

turnover.
• Full results for the June 2025 Quarter are expected to be reported in the week

City Investors Circle Mining Review 22nd June 2025

 

A sombre week after the announcement of the tragic death of a worker in the Madsen Mine owned by West Red Lake Gold Mines. The accident occurred underground at Madsen, and work has ceased whilst health and safety officials investigate the circumstances.

Our condolences, prayers ,and thoughts go out to his family.

 

A fundraise for his family, including his two children has been started. I urge everyone to support this good cause so that his dependants may have a future.

Anyone invested in WRLG should make a decent profit from their investment over time, so please spare something for a person that helped create shareholder value for us.

I am making a C$205 donation today, please spare anything you can.

We initiated coverage of AIC Mines, a producing gold and copper miner in Queensland, Australia.

AIC is looking to scale by starting a second mine linked to the first, which is just the sort of company Iike to invest in, minimising dilution by production and scaling up to a larger operation.

I also like the combination of copper and gold.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
12 June 2025

 

AIC Mines Limited (ASX: A1M) (“AIC Mines” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce new drilling results from resource definition and extension drilling at the
Jericho copper deposit located in North Queensland.

 

.
Highlights

• Step-out drilling at the Billabong shoot, 380 metres down-plunge of the nearest
drillhole, returned a high-grade intercept:
• JEDD074 – 5.5m (4.1m ETW) grading 2.4% Cu from 696m
• The result confirms that high-grade mineralisation continues at depth several hundred metres below the current Inferred Resources.
• Resource infill drilling at the Matilda and Matilda North shoots intersected the
following significant results:
• JEDD074 – 15.2m (11.4m ETW) grading 1.0% Cu from 422.8m
• JEDD075 – 10.0m (7.5m ETW) grading 1.4% Cu from 255m
• JEDD076 – 12.0m (9.0m ETW) grading 1.9% Cu from 137m, including
• 4.0m (3.0m ETW) grading 4.1% Cu from 145m
• JEDD077 – 7.0m (5.3m ETW) grading 1.2% Cu from 313m.

 

 

.

Commenting on the results, AIC Mines’ Managing Director Aaron Colleran said:

“Intersecting high-grade mineralisation in a 380m step-out hole beneath the current resource is testament to the calibre of the Jericho deposit, and to the AIC Mines exploration team who have rapidly developed a comprehensive understanding of the controls on mineralisation.”

 

 

Jericho Copper Deposit

The Jericho copper deposit is located 4 kilometres south of the Eloise copper mine and processing plant.

Mineralisation at Jericho is defined over a strike length of 5 kilometres and remains open to the north and south. It commences at approximately 50m below surface and extends to a vertical depth of 650m below surface – the current limit of drilling.

Mineralisation occurs predominantly in two parallel lenses, J1 and J2, with higher grade shoots within these lenses, such as Jumbuck, Matilda and Billabong.
