Free cash flow reached $46.8 million.
Chief executive Gavin Ferrar described the results as “really excellent” and “a strong operational performance in an environment of good commodity prices”. The company owns 100% of the Kounrad copper operation in Kazakhstan, which has been producing copper cathode since 2012, and the Sasa lead–zinc mine in North Macedonia, acquired in 2017. Both assets have license or reserve lives extending to 2034.
Ferrar noted that all key financial metrics were “significantly up” on the first half of 2025. The company also holds exploration subsidiaries in Kazakhstan. CAML X and CAML XD, which are looking for base metals, and a minority stake in Aberdeen Minerals, a private group exploring for copper–nickel mineralisation around Arthrath in Scotland.
