The processing method at Waihi involves several stages. Ore is first crushed and then ground in a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill with water and steel balls to form a slurry. Lime and a weak sodium cyanide solution are added to the slurry in leach tanks to dissolve the gold and silver. The slurry then passes through adsorption tanks containing carbon granules, which attract the dissolved gold and silver. The metals are then stripped from the carbon, and through a process of electrowinning, a gold and silver-bearing sludge is produced. This sludge is dried, mixed with fluxes, and smelted in a furnace at 1200 degrees Celsius to form doré bullion bars. These bars, which are approximately 99% pure gold and silver, are then sent to a refinery in Perth, Australia, for final separation.

OceanaGold has received permit approval for the Waihi North Project, a significant expansion of the Waihi Operation. This project includes the development of the new high-grade Wharekirauponga Underground (WUG) mine, located about 10 kilometres north of the existing operations. The approval also allows for the expansion of the current processing and water treatment facilities and the construction of a new tailings storage facility. The development of the Waihi North Project is expected to extend the mine life of the Waihi Operation to at least 2038. The existing Martha Underground (MUG) is expected to be the primary source of ore until 2033, with the new Wharekirauponga mine transitioning into the main production source thereafter. First ore from the Wharekirauponga Underground is anticipated in 2032. The company has an early-works capital budget of $40 to $45 million for 2025 to progress design and construction activities for the Waihi North Project. A pre-feasibility study for the Waihi District, which includes both the existing operations and the Wharekirauponga underground mine, projects a combined production of 1.6 million ounces of payable gold over a 15-year mine life. As of February 2025, an initial mineral reserve of 4.1 million tonnes at a grade of 9.2 g/t for 1.21 million ounces of gold has been declared for the Wharekirauponga deposit.
