Key statements made by AMAK\u2019s CEO, Engineer Geoffrey Day, to Al Ekhbariya regarding the first-half 2026 results and expectations for the upcoming period:\n

\n\u2022 The shutdown of the base metals processing plant affected production and sales volumes during the first half.\n
\n\u2022 Higher cost of sales and general and administrative expenses put pressure on profitability, alongside a decline in revenue of approximately 5%.\n\n
\u2022 The company resumed operations at the processing plant in May, and production levels began to stabilize gradually as operational performance improved.\n
\n\u2022 AMAK expects stronger financial and operational performance in the second half, supported by increased production and continued normal operating conditions.\n
\n\u2022 Copper and zinc prices remained relatively strong, while the unexpected decline in gold prices affected the second-quarter results.\n
\n\u2022 The company is working to achieve its budgeted production volumes and benefit from operational improvements during the remaining months of the year.\n\n
\n\u2022 The exploration program made encouraging progress in identifying additional mineral resources.\n
\n\u2022 The current processing facilities can accommodate the additional reserves located within economically viable transportation distances.\n\n
\n\u2022 AMAK will consider expanding its processing capacity or establishing new facilities if discoveries exceed the current capacity.\n
\n\u2022 The capital increase through a rights issue aims to fund growth initiatives, sustainability plans, and long-term expansion.\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
