What did Chrysos announce?

Chrysos advised that it has increased its total contract value (TCV) to A$559.8 million "with new international customer agreements".

The company said that it has signed 5 new 'PhotonAssay' lease agreements, thereby increasing its TCV by a total of $108.6 million.

"Three new PhotonAssay leases signed with new customers Alfred H Knight and Britannia," it said.

"[The] total number of deployed or contractually-committed PhotonAssay units rises from 33 to 38."

The company's CEO, Dirk Treasure, said it was an "exciting time for [the] business".

[A]s we continue to execute our expansion plans and focus on key international mining hubs, with increasing demand, a strong pipeline of blue chip customers and our global market penetration continuing at pace, we feel the business is well positioned to meet its ongoing strategic and operational objectives.

In addition, Chrysos reports that 2 new PhotonAssay units have already been deployed with existing customers, bringing its 'deployed unit base' to 10.
