Pacgold’s (ASX:PGO) Managing Director Matthew Boyes says the company is looking forward to highlighting its transition into a gold producer at the RIU Sydney Resources Round-Up next week.
Speaking to Mining.com.au ahead of the three-day conference, Boyes explains that the main themes of Pacgold’s presentation include the achievements met to date while transforming into a gold-producing company.
Held at the Hyatt Regency Sydney from 5–7 May 2026, the RIU Sydney Resources Round-Up acts as a forum for corporate mining investors.
Pacgold will be kicking off the company presentations for day one of the event, with Boyes speaking to the auditorium on 5 May at 9am AEST.
“Attendance is outstanding, and if it replicates the Fremantle event, I think we are in for a very busy couple of days,” Boyes tells Mining.com.au.
“Good quality of investors in general, and the auditorium is always full.”
Boyes explains that a key benefit of heading over to the Sydney event is the “exposure to large retail investor groups”.
Pacgold intends to meet up with both existing and new shareholders at the conference.
The 2026 plan
For the remainder of 2026, Pacgold is focused on advancing its White Dam Project in South Australia’s Olary Province, which recently went back into production.
As reported by Mining.com.au earlier this month, Pacgold produced around 60 ounces of gold from the first 14 days of absorption, stripped and ready for smelting.
The company will ramp up re-crushing and leaching activities at White Dam to reach its target of 90,000 tonnes per month.
Boyes adds that the company is focused on achieving full-scale production at the White Dam Project this year by putting the existing resources back into production.
The project was in operation from 2010–2018, producing around 180,000 ounces of gold from heap leaching 7.5 million tonnes of ore at 0.94 grams per tonne.
White Dam saw production sourced from two pits, Hannaford and Vertigo.
The project has an existing resource estimate of 4.6 million tonnes @ 0.7g/t gold for around 102,000 ounces.
While ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to affect industries worldwide, the price of gold remains high, after a minor drop this week.
Trading Economics reports the spot gold price at US$4,545 ($6,385) per ounce, representing a 4.11% weekly drop within a 38.88% increase year over year.
Boyes says that while the general mining sector’s performance relies on “events out of our control”, gold remains positive.
“Positive fundamentals for gold, however, are firmly in place,” Boyes tells Mining.com.au.
Located 50km west of Broken Hill in South Australia, the White Dam Gold Project spans over 877km2 of mining leases and exploration tenure.
Pacgold is a gold-focused explorer advancing its portfolio of assets in North Queensland and South Australia.
Mining.com.au is a media partner for the RIU Sydney Resources Round-Up conference and will be in attendance at this year’s program.
