Artem Volynets, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACG, said:
"The first half of 2025 has been a strong period of strategic progress for ACG Metals, strengthening our foundations as a business and advancing our long-term growth plans while maintaining a safe and reliable operating environment and achieving over 800 LTI-free days. Gediktepe Mine, which is currently producing gold and silver is on track to reach full commercial production of copper and zinc concentrates by the end of H1 2026.
The priority during the period has been to strengthen our financial position in order to reinforce our balance sheet and accelerate the transition into copper with a clean, cost efficient capital structure. We repaid in full the Gediktepe acquisition facility and funded the sulphide expansion with a USD 200 million bond placement, repaid historic sponsor loans and executed a warrant tender to simplify our capital structure and reduce potential dilution. Post period end, ACG made its first coupon payment and confirmed full compliance under the bond terms leading to bonds trading at a significantly improved yield.
Our focus on operational excellence led to H1 2025 EBITDA reaching $36 million and cash flow from operations $31 million, which have exceeded our targets.
Post period end, we were delighted to announce the commencement of Trading of the OTCQX Best Market under the OTCQX ticker code "ACGAF", another significant milestone for the Company as we look to broaden our investor outreach to new markets and enhance liquidity in our shares."
