Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested

Form 20-F For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024
Item 4. Information on the Company, page 65
1.Please confirm that you will revise your summary resource table on page 65 to include
the point of reference in which your resources were calculated as required by Item
1303(b)(2)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Additionally please confirm that you will revise your Wafi-Golpu resource tables
beginning on page 149 and Eva Copper resource table on page 155 to include the
point of reference as required by Item 1304(d)(1) of Regulation S-K.
Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures, page 168
We note you consider Operating Free Cash Flow as “a metric to assess profitability,”
but the label suggests it is a liquidity measure. Further to this, the disclosure on page
168 indicates that this non-GAAP measure is “determined as revenue after deducting 2.

cash costs, capital expenditure, non-cash adjustments (consideration from streaming
contract) and the impact of run-of-mine (“ROM”) costs.” However, it appears that the
reconciliation to Total Operational Free Cash Flows presented on page 170 differs
from this description. Tell us how the reconciliation is consistent with the description
of this measure. Please revise to clarify the nature of the measure and, if it is a
liquidity measure, disclose how it provides useful information to investors and
reconcile Operating Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities (i.e.,
Cash generated by operating activities per page F-10). Alternatively, if Operating Free
Cash Flow is a performance measure, tell us how you determined it is appropriate to
identify it as Operating Free Cash Flow and explain why there are cash-based
adjustments in the calculation of the performance measure. Please provide us with the
proposed revised disclosures you intend to include in future filings. Refer to Item
10(e)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K and Question 100.05 of the Non-GAAP Financial
Measures Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments,
action or absence of action by the staff.
Please contact Jennifer O'Brien at 202-551-3721 or Raj Rajan at 202-551-3388 if you
