Resource expansion & capex • Key projects advanced, including Wulong tailings facility, Jilong underground expansion and Sepon grinding upgrade. • Exploration and development absorbed HKD 140.0 million of Hong Kong IPO proceeds by year-end; 68% of total IPO funds remain unutilised for future projects and acquisitions.
