en.Wedoany.com Reported - Alara Resources (ASX:AUQ) has reached a shipping milestone at its Al Wash-hi Majaza copper-gold project in Oman, with the 50th batch of copper concentrate dispatched from Sohar Port.
The latest shipment, loaded on June 21, 2026, comprised 456 wet metric tonnes of copper-gold concentrate containing approximately 83 tonnes of copper and 64 ounces of gold. This brings cumulative shipments from the project to 62,684 wet metric tonnes of concentrate across 50 batches, containing 10,988 tonnes of copper metal.
Al Wash-hi Majaza is operated by joint venture company Al Hadeetha Resources LLC (AHRL), in which Alara, an Australian producer and explorer, holds a 51% interest. The 50th shipment included concentrate retained from earlier batches due to port clearance requirements, and this dispatch demonstrates the ongoing operational capability of the mine and processing facilities. Alara Managing Director Atmavireshwar Sthapak stated that this milestone is the result of joint efforts by the company's Oman team and joint venture partners, with nearly 11,000 tonnes of copper metal shipped to date, showcasing the real and growing value of the asset.
Recent shipping records include: the 48th batch on June 10, 2026, totaling 1,069 wet metric tonnes of copper concentrate containing 208 tonnes of copper and 135 ounces of gold; and the 49th batch on June 15, 2026, totaling 1,001 wet metric tonnes containing 195 tonnes of copper and 126 ounces of gold. Alara said that after production was affected by rare rainfall in March, the mine has made a strong recovery, with improved output in April and sustained high levels in May and June to date. Except for planned downtime in April to replace semi-autogenous mill liners, the processing plant has been operating above nameplate capacity. Since resuming production, sustained above-nameplate operating rates in May and June have positioned Al Wash-hi Majaza to achieve its best financial year performance since commissioning.
Alara Resources is an Australian precious and base metals producer and explorer focused on the Al Wash-hi Majaza copper-gold mine and concentrate production facility in Oman. The company is also advancing exploration across other Omani projects, including the Block 7 exploration license under the Daris joint venture, the Mullaq and Al Ajal licenses under the Al Hadeetha joint venture, Block 8 under the Awtad copper-energy metals joint venture, and the recently acquired Block 22B license under the Al Hadeetha Mining LLC joint venture.
