Pantoro Ends Quarter with $220M Cash, Appoints Redpath as Sole Contractor
Pantoro ended the quarter with $220 million in cash and gold and will appoint Redpath Mining as sole contractor at Norseman from May. It reduced 2026 production guidance to 86,000–92,000 ounces, reported all-in sustaining costs above $2,500 per ounce and is advancing underground development at Bronze and Cramers South lodes.
1. Strong Balance Sheet and Redpath Appointment
Pantoro closed the quarter with $220 million in cash and gold, reinforcing its financial position as it appoints Redpath Mining as the sole contract miner at Norseman from May. This consolidation covers the existing Scotia and Dimboola sites, targeting operational synergies and potential short-term transition disruptions.
2. Revised Production Guidance and Cost Efficiency
The company trimmed its 2026 production guidance to 86,000–92,000 ounces, down from the previous 100,000-ounce target, reflecting recent operational factors. Pantoro reported all-in sustaining costs slightly above $2,500 per ounce, remaining competitive among narrow-vein underground peers.
3. Underground Development and Growth Strategy
After completing roughly 40,000 metres of underground drilling at the Bullen decline, Pantoro is set to commence development of the Bronze and Cramers South lodes mid-year. First ore extraction is targeted before year-end to deliver higher-grade feed and bolster mill throughput.
