BWA | JUL 2026 131 That legacy matters because Golden Grove is more than just a current producer. It is also the operating hub for 29Metals’ next wave of organic growth. The Gossan Valley project, located around seven kilometres south of the producing Gossan Hill mine, reached final investment decision in December 2024 and is intended to provide a third mining front to support production growth. The asset page says the project carries an initial mine life of around six years and mining rates of up to 585 ktpa based on feasibility studies. That is a meaningful strategic step because it shows the company trying to build from existing infrastructure rather than rely only on greenfield ambition. Gossan Valley is being developed close to an operating asset, with feasibility work maturing deposits such as Gossan Valley, Conteville, Felix and Grassi into a near-mine expansion pathway. For a copper producer, that kind of brownfields growth can often be more valuable than distant optionality.
