Robex Resources, a Canadian gold mining company, has made its initial shipment of gold from the Kiniero Gold Project in Guinea, marking the start of commercial production at the mine.

The shipment included around 197 kg of gold, equivalent to approximately 6,336 troy ounces.

Production aligns with all requirements outlined in the senior secured facilities agreement with Sprott, as well as the Guinean Mining Code.

Robex said the recent shipment represents the first instance of commercial production at Kiniero under this code.

In addition, the Company has met all necessary commercial production conditions set forth in its financing agreements with Sprott.

As of the end of January 2026, Kiniero had processed approximately 393,000 dry tonnes of ore with an average head grade of approximately one gram per tonne of gold.

Metallurgical gold recovery rate averaged approximately 88% and mill availability exceeded 92%.

Total gold recovery was approximately 10,900 troy ounces, with approximately 5,550 troy ounces dumped, indicative of typical gold inventory build-up within the leaching carbon loop during start-up and initial operations.

The Kiniero processing plant has shown steady and improving performance from start-up until early February as operations progressed into the ramp-up phase.

Robex Managing Director and CEO Matthew Wilcox said: “The delivery of our first commercial gold shipment marks an important milestone for Robex and reflects the successful ramp-up of operations at Kiniero.

“The performance of both the processing plant and the operational team has been strong as we transition to 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 goal of building a leading multi-asset gold producer.”
