Robex ships initial gold from Guinea’s Kiniero project

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

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

The production aligns with all the requirements outlined in the senior secured facility agreement with Sprott as well as the Guinea Mining Code.

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

Furthermore, the company has met all necessary commercial production conditions stipulated in its financing agreements with Sprott.

By 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 gold.

The metallurgical gold recovery rate averaged roughly 88% and mill availability exceeded 92%.

Total gold recovery amounted to around 10,900 troy ounces, with nearly 5,550 troy ounces poured, indicative of the typical accumulation of gold inventory within the carbon-in-leach circuit during commissioning and initial operations.

The Kiniero processing plant has exhibited consistent and improving performance from commissioning up to early February as operations advanced through the ramp-up phase.

Robex managing director and CEO Matthew Wilcox said: “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.”
