Commenting on the Company's June 2023 quarter, Barton MD Alex Scanlon said:
"2023 is set to be a transformative year for Barton, and the June quarter has set the tone with a 189koz upgrade at our 'Stage 2 Expansion' project and an institutional placement to accelerate 'Stage 1' development pathways.
"The quarter end also marks an important corporate milestone for Barton, which celebrates two years as an ASX-listed company. We have considerably outperformed our IPO Prospectus budget for the period, with cash more than $5m higher than forecast owing to optimised exploration activities and asset monetisation initiatives.
"This performance is driving international awareness of Barton's strategy, an expanding shareholder register, and increasing corporate momentum as we target further 'Stage 1' and 'Stage 2' Resources growth during 2023.
We are also looking closely at potentially increasing gold concentrates production from existing stockpiles."
