What else do investors need to know?
Westgold Resources became debt free after repaying its outstanding $50 million facility, finishing the period with $520.6 million in cash and cash equivalents—a 117% lift from June 2025. The bumper results were driven by a sharp increase in the gold price achieved ($5,877/oz vs $3,910/oz a year ago) and higher gold sales volumes.
During the half, Westgold completed the divestment of its Mt Henry–Selene Gold Project to Alicanto Minerals, booking a one-off, non-cash loss of $177.9 million but gaining a 19.9% strategic stake in Alicanto and further cash proceeds. The company also progressed a proposed demerger of its non-core Reedy's and Comet assets via the planned spin-out of Valiant Gold Limited.
What's next for Westgold Resources?
Westgold has reiterated its FY26 production guidance of 345,000 to 385,000 ounces of gold, supported by investments in mine development and a healthy resource base. Following the sale of non-core assets and the planned Valiant Gold demerger, the company will sharpen its focus on its major mining hubs in the Murchison and Southern Goldfields regions, aiming to sustain safe, profitable growth while advancing its refreshed ESG strategy.
