What did Greatland Resources report?

  • Produced 82,723 ounces of gold and 4,128 tonnes of copper during the March 2026 quarter
  • Year-to-date FY2026 output reached 249,887 ounces of gold and 11,022 tonnes of copper
  • Sales for the quarter were 97,800 ounces of gold and 4,620 tonnes of copper
  • Cash balance of $1,208 million as at 31 March 2026, up from $948 million at 31 December 2025
  • No debt and $73 million in tax payments for the previous year

What else do investors need to know?

Greatland built its cash reserves strongly, ending the quarter with over $1.2 billion even after capital expenditure and tax payments. The company will start making regular tax instalments from April 2026.

Management noted that, despite tensions in the Middle East, Telfer operations have not been impacted by diesel disruptions, thanks to secure contracts and alternative energy sources. The site also holds over 12 months of mill feed in surface stockpiles at quarter-end. Greatland maintains exposure to high gold prices while partially protecting against downside risks using gold put options.

What's next for Greatland Resources?

Greatland expects FY26 gold production to be at or slightly above the top end of its guidance range (260,000–310,000 ounces). Investors can expect further detail in the full March 2026 Quarterly Activities Report to be released later in April, with a management webcast planned for the same day.

The company continues to monitor global challenges while relying on long-term supply contracts and significant on-site reserves to underpin output through the year.
