The year was a turning point for MGX Resources as it repositioned its business from iron ore towards precious metals. The company completed the Koolan Island low-grade iron ore sales program, generating positive cash flow and fully funding site rehabilitation and wind-down activities.

What did MGX Resources management say?
MGX Resources CEO Peter Kerr said:
MGX completed a successful transitional year with the low-grade sales program at Koolan Island surpassing expectations to generate positive cashflow to fully fund site rehabilitation and ramp-down activities
Together with the recently announced agreement to divest Koolan Island to logistics proponent Crestlink, this helped MGX preserve its strong debt-free balance sheet which will enable the business to focus on accelerating the high-grade Central Tanami Gold Project towards a development decision.
MGX is well positioned to utilise its hard-earned iron ore cash reserves to realise substantial shareholder value as it seeks to create a new high-quality Australian gold production business.
What's next for MGX Resources?
Looking ahead, MGX will focus on completing the Koolan Island divestment and fully transitioning operations to gold. The company is accelerating work at the Central Tanami Gold Project, including resource definition drilling, infrastructure upgrades, and pushing towards a development decision.
MGX plans to leverage its significant cash reserves and mining expertise to develop the Tanami project and grow its footprint in Australian gold production.
