Rox kicks off production stoping at Youanmi - Australian Mining

AI desk brief

Rox Resources has extracted its first production stope at Youanmi’s United North deposit in Western Australia, following 647m of underground development in October. The one-million-tonne-per-annum processing plant remains on schedule, with early commissioning targeted for March 2027 and first gold for mid-2027. Drilling included 5.50m at 15.46g/t gold; two intersections outside the existing mine plan may support future schedule additions. Management retains an aspiration of 150,000oz annual production in the years ahead, not a confirmed initial output rate. The update primarily affects Rox’s execution outlook and does not establish a material near-term bullion-price effect.
