Northparkes and Red Lake set new records for net mine cash flow, while the business continues to benefit from strong gold and copper prices. Most major capital projects remain on track and within budget, and Evolution expects higher cash flows ahead, given current favourable commodity prices.
What did Evolution Mining management say?
Commenting on the result, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer said:
Our operations continue to safely and reliably deliver to plan and we are on track to deliver our full year guidance. We are generating significant cashflow, enabling further financial deleveraging and our gearing improved to 11%. Our excellent safety performance continues to be an important leading indicator of operational delivery. Our projects are also advancing well and remain on schedule. The Mungari mill is on track for commercial production this month following a successful ramp up, while the Cowal OPC project is being executed to plan, positioning us well to deliver on our FY26 strategic and financial objectives.
What's next for Evolution Mining?
Evolution Mining is maintaining its full-year production and cost guidance, aiming for consistent delivery across its operations. The business is set to continue deleveraging, with no further debt repayments due until FY29, and plans to sustain or improve cash flow if commodity prices hold up.
Mungari is expected to achieve commercial production in October, while ongoing investments at Cowal and Ernest Henry are designed to support future output. Evolution's management has also flagged continued exploration activity and a sharp focus on operational safety and efficiency.
