Records tumble in September quarter – the first as Endurance Mining
September 2025 quarter saw records tumble for the Abra Operation
Quarter highlights include:
- Total recordable injury frequency rate remained steady with June 2025 quarter.
- Record concentrate produced of 32,442 tonnes, with metal in concentrate produced of 20.1kt lead and 274koz silver.
- MOU with Shire of Meekatharra co-funding the construction of three floodway crossings on Ashburton Downs road to mitigate impact of rain events
- Exploration activities recommenced with underground drilling targeting Copper & Gold targets 200m below existing workings and surface drilling on exploration tenements after 4 year hiatus
- Strategic offtake entered with Trafigura through to December 2026, providing base feed to Port Pirie’s Nyrstar Smelter at historic low treatment charges
Said CEO Matthew Hine:
“The September quarter was Endurance Mining’s first as owner of the Abra Operation, and a major step forward for the asset achieving record production and strong safety performance.
Our investment in an accelerated grade control programme coupled with a rejuvenated mine plan are paying dividends. We achieved a substantial uplift in mined ore coupled with record mined and feed grades for both silver and lead.
We’ve taken great strides derisking wet season impacts by entering a strategic offtake agreement to the end of 2026 with Trafigura and entering a partnership agreement with the Shire of Meekatharra to co-fund floodways on the Ashburton Downs Road, with construction well progressed.
These results are a credit to the focus and commitment of our people. We thank our staff and partners for their ongoing support and look forward to building on the momentum of this quarter.”
