Status Update summary
8 Jul, 2026Three-year production plan and growth targets
Production guidance raised to 4.2–4.8 Mt for FY26, 4.7–5.3 Mt for FY27, and 5.4–6.0 Mt for FY28, targeting 6 Mtpa by FY28, with a long-term goal of 10 Mtpa supported by feasibility studies.
All ore for the three-year plan comes from existing reserves or measured and indicated resources, with 60% from Ore Reserves and 40% from Measured/Indicated Mineral Resources, minimizing risk.
The plan is fully funded from operational cash flows, cash reserves, and existing finance facilities, with sustaining capital estimated at AUD 35–45 million.
Transition from Iron Ridge and Shine to Weld Range (W11 and W10) will underpin growth, with Iron Ridge closing by FY26 and Shine stage one completing early FY27.
Fleet expansion from 70 to 90 trucks is planned, with port capacity at Geraldton exceeding 10 Mtpa and no major CapEx needed for infrastructure.
Operational efficiency and cost management
C1 cash costs for FY26 are guided at AUD 70–80/t FOB Geraldton, with no significant cost changes expected over the three-year period.
Port handling costs are roughly AUD 15/t, with mining and haulage each around AUD 30/t.
Transshipment trials at Geraldton were successful, with potential for AUD 10 million in annual shipping cost savings if Capesize vessels are used.
Incremental improvements in logistics and port efficiency are included in sustaining capital, with additional value opportunities under review.
Additional mobile equipment to be financed separately; Beebyn Hub crushing capacity to expand from 3 Mtpa to 6 Mtpa by FY28.
Strategic agreements and growth initiatives
Secured a 30-year exclusive right to mine Weld Range Project via agreement with Sinosteel Midwest Corporation, a Baowu subsidiary.
Commitment to achieve and maintain 6 Mtpa production, with a target to expand to 10 Mtpa in collaboration with Baowu.
Feasibility and scoping studies underway for Weld Range expansion to 10 Mtpa, with further upside from Jack Hills and Shine phase two.
Opportunities identified for haulage and shipping cost reductions and strategic infrastructure development.
Collaboration with Baowu and potential involvement in Athena Resources and GreenIron projects offer additional growth and value creation.
