Following significant preparatory work in fiscal year 2023, including intensive grade control drilling, Ulysses decline development is now underway, and ore production is expected to commence ramp-up in fiscal year 2025. Ore will be trucked 35 kilometers to the Leonora Mill for processing in combination with ore from the Gwalia underground mine. Stoping at the Ulysses underground commenced late in the December 2024 quarter.
Royal Gold holds a 0.9% NSR royalty on all metals produced from Ulysses.
On February 22, 2010, Royal Gold announced it closed its acquisition of International Royalty Corporation, which included the 0.9% NSR royalty on Ulysses.
