QUÉBEC CITY, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Robex Resources Inc. (“Robex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has achieved commercial production at its Kiniero Gold Project in Guinea, having satisfied the commercial production criteria under both its Senior Secured Facility Agreement with Sprott and the Guinea Mining Code.
Commercial production status was achieved following the first shipment of gold on 11 February 2026. The shipment comprised approximately 197 kilograms of gold, equivalent to 6,336 troy ounces.
Under the Guinea Mining Code, the date of first commercial production is defined as the earlier of either the completion of a sustained period of production above a prescribed threshold or the date of the first shipment for commercial purposes. The Company confirms that the shipment constitutes the date of first commercial production for Kiniero under the Code.
In addition, Robex confirms that all relevant commercial production requirements under its senior secured financing arrangements with Sprott have been satisfied.
As at the end of January 2026, and following the successful ramp up of operations, Kiniero had processed approximately 393,000 dry metric tonnes of ore at an average head grade of approximately 1.0 g/t Au. Metallurgical gold recovery averaged approximately 88%, with mill availability of over 92%. Gold recovered totalled approximately 10,900 troy ounces, with approximately 5,550 troy ounces poured, reflecting the normal buildup of gold inventory within the CIL circuit during commissioning and early operations.
CEO Comment
Matthew Wilcox, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Robex, commented:
“The delivery of our first commercial gold shipment marks a major milestone for Robex and reflects the successful ramp-up of operations at Kiniero. The performance of both the processing plant and the operating team has been strong as we transition into commercial production.
With Kiniero now in commercial operation and generating cash flow, the asset is positioned to support the development of Bankan as part of our transformative merger with Predictive Discovery. This milestone reinforces the strategic rationale for the combination and our objective of building a leading multi-asset gold producer.”
