West African gold producer and developer Robex Resources says it is on track to deliver first gold at its Kiniero gold project, in Guinea, in the fourth quarter of this calendar year.

TSX-V-listed Robex says it expects to produce 155 000 oz of gold at Kiniero in 2026.

"Kiniero continues to progress to schedule and budget and we remain on track to achieve first gold pour at the project in fourth quarter of calendar year 2025. It is exciting to see this project taking shape and our teams working together in a safe and responsible manner to achieve this deadline.

“It continues to be incredibly busy on site with many key aspects of the project now coming into play. We are keeping a close eye on our targets to ensure they remain achievable as we work towards first gold by the end of the year,” says Robex MD and CEO Matthew Wilcox.

Robex says construction continues to track well against the schedule, with the semiautogenous grinding and ball mill foundation completed.

The company notes that the primary crusher run-of-mine (RoM) wall is now complete and backfilling of the RoM pad has begun.

Additionally, it notes that lining of the tailings storage facility began in March.

Robex also notes that power station concrete works began, with excavation and blinding of the engine bases.

The company says next steps include awarding major contracts including mill installation, mining, haulage and drill and blast; commencing design of the solar farm; mobilisation of structural, mechanical and piping contractor in the second quarter of the current calendar year; and mobilisation of a mining contractor in the third quarter of the calendar year.
