St Barbara Bolsters Simberi Operations and Advances Strategic Transactions
St Barbara Limited (ASX: SBM) has strengthened operational resilience at its Simberi mine by securing substantial diesel inventories amid global supply disruptions linked to shipping constraints. The operation consumes approximately 65,000 litres of diesel per day for mining activities and power generation. Current on-site fuel storage stands at around 4.7 million litres, sufficient for over two months of usage, with an additional 3.5 million litres held in-country. This combined stock provides coverage well beyond three months, with a majority of fuel volumes already priced at pre-conflict levels, helping shield the company from short-term price volatility. In parallel, St Barbara is actively progressing its alliance with Lingbao Gold Group and Kumul Mineral Holdings to drive the New Simberi Gold Project forward. Key approvals, including regulatory clearances in China and Papua New Guinea and the extension of the mining lease to 2038, have been completed. Remaining steps, such as finalising the life-of-mine plan and agreements, are underway. The deal is anticipated to be completed in early April 2026, which will also lead to the announcement of the Final Investment Decision. Upon completion, the company will receive approximately AU$370 million in cash, enhancing liquidity and funding future expansion initiatives.
