ACG Metals Exceeds Guidance with Sulphide Project on track
LONDON, Jan. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ACG Metals Limited is pleased to announce its operations update for the fourth quarter of 2025 (“Q4 2025”) and the full 2025 financial year (“FY 2025”).
Artem Volynets (Chairman and CEO) and Patrick Henze (CFO) will provide a live presentation via Investor Meet Company on 26 Jan 2026, 12:00 GMT. To attend, investors can join via this link: https://www.investormeetcompany.com/acg-metals-limited/register-investor
The Company finished the year with an LTIF of 0.66 including 1.6 M man-hours worked LTI free.
ACG delivered a strong finish to 2025, exceeding production guidance with 39.2 koz AuEq produced (3% over the top end) and 39.5 koz AuEq sold during the Gediktepe mine’s first full year under ACG’s ownership. Operational efficiency and cost controls drove a 18% reduction in C1 cash costs to US$499/oz AuEq. AISC increased to US$1,244/oz AuEq from US$1,139 year‑on‑year, driven by the increases in gold and silver prices, resulting in higher royalty payments.
The Company is pleased to announce its 2026 production and AISC guidance at 20 – 22 ktpa CuEq production, including the 17.5 koz AuEq of oxide production stacked and presently under leach. AISC are expected to be at approximately US$2.40 – US$2.60/lb CuEq in this transformational year for ACG Metals. The oxide production cost will significantly benefit from the reduced royalty rate with EMX Royalty Corporation (2.25% this year vs 10% last year).
The Gediktepe Sulphide Expansion Project advanced significantly during the year and is on time and on budget for commercial production by the end of H1 2026, transitioning ACG into a copper producer.
The Enriched Ore Treatment Project at Gediktepe mine is targeting an additional c.57kt CuEq from enriched ore and stockpiles on site over a four-year period. In Q4 2025 the Company completed a scoping study and basic engineering. Permitting, metallurgical test works, and detailed engineering will commence in Q1 2026.
ACG’s net debt as of December 31, 2025 was US$65 million.
Artem Volynets, Chairman and CEO of ACG, said:
“We are proud for our consistent outperformance last year, demonstrating exceptional operating capabilities of our team.
ACG is well positioned to complete transition to copper producer this year with Sulphide Project construction on budget and on time while continuing to strongly benefit from the production of gold and silver from the residual oxide ore.
We are making a great progress on our strategy to establish ACG Metals as a leading growth copper company on the LSE.”
