Phase 7 commenced in 2017, scheduled as 2 cut-backs to the east and west side. The east side has been developed in advance, in order to accelerate ex-pit ore feed to the process plant. In 2019, Phase 7 moved to the acceleration stage, focused on waste removal. During this stage, the process plant ore feed comes from the stockpiles.

In April 2020, fresh ore mining commenced. The first productive ore was delivered during this period, 3 months ahead of schedule. The process plant is expected to continuously produce ex-pit ore in combination with stockpiles until 2022.
