In its first quarter to 30 September, Jubilee Metals’ copper production surged by approximately 65% compared to the preceding period. That rise is primarily attributed to the ramp‑up of the Roan facility, stabilised power supply and the commencement of higher‑grade ore deliveries from the Molefe open‑pit mine in Zambia.
From an investor’s lens the narrative matters for several reasons. First, production ramp‑ups are one thing; but achieving such growth in a region and sector where power outages and logistics have repeatedly constrained peers gives the ramp more credibility.
Second, the resource base itself is changing. The Molefe mine, which had delivered about 3,500 tonnes per month of high‑grade copper ore in October, is aiming to increase to 4,500 tonnes per month by November and 8,500 tonnes per month by the end of the third quarter. Meanwhile Roan is expanding its filtering capacity by around 30% to manage fine‑concentrates stockpiled on site and move throughput target toward 40,000 tonnes per month from its current 30 000 t/m.
Third, for investors the guidance is now more granular. Jubilee projects full‐year copper production of roughly 4,500 to 5,100 tonnes in fiscal 2026 (depending on rainy‑season disruptions) compared with 2,211 tonnes in the prior year.
