Genesis Minerals Limited (3G2) Q2 2026 Earnings Report

The call conveyed a strongly positive operational and financial performance: record consecutive production, strong cash generation (AUD 231M mine operating cash flow; AUD 404M cash & investments), NPAT materially higher (estimated +300% YoY), debt fully repaid, and multiple development milestones (Tower Hill approvals, rail agreements, and Indigenous mining agreements). Offsetting items include higher near-term growth capital (revised to AUD 220-240M), ramp-up and grade pressure at Ulysses while development ore dominates, lower recoveries from third-party Laverton feed, contractor transition risk with Byrnecut mobilizing, and upcoming cash outflows for stamp duty and tax. Overall, the positive operational momentum, strong balance sheet and delivered milestones outweigh the execution and near-term capital/timing risks.

Genesis maintained FY‑26 production guidance of 260,000–290,000 oz and AISC guidance of A$2,500–2,700/oz (at the half‑way mark it has produced just over 147,000 oz YTD at AISC A$2,578/oz), with the December quarter delivering ~74,000 oz at AISC A$2,635/oz; the quarter sold 71,000 oz at A$6,057/oz generating A$430m in sales, A$231m mine operating cash flow and A$167m net mine cash flow after A$64m of growth spend. Cash and investments rose to A$404m (underlying cash build >A$200m) with nil bank debt after fully repaying A$100m corporate debt, growth capital for FY‑26 was revised up to A$220–240m (from A$150–170m), and group stockpiles closed at 1.4Mt @1.2 g/t (≈53,000 oz). Operational metrics included Leonora UG 289,000 t @4.6 g/t (42,783 oz), Gwalia ~178,000 t @5.6 g/t (~32,000 oz), Ulysses 111,000 t @2.9 g/t (10,500 oz), Leonora mill 365,000 t @4.0 g/t at 92.8% recovery (~43,000 oz), Laverton mill 759,000 t @1.5 g/t at 83.8% recovery (~31,000 oz) (38% third‑party feed at 79.2% recovery; Genesis ore recovery 91.2%), total open‑pit movement >6Mt and Laverton movement 3.5Mt, Jupiter mined 133,000 t @0.7 g/t (~3,000 oz), exploration spend A$11.9m, estimated H1 NPAT A$235–245m, stamp duty A$13m due in June, and likely commencement of income tax installments—Tower Hill remains on track (original FY‑28 first ore timing may be able to be brought forward) while mill expansion studies and the ASPIRE 400 long‑term sizing are being finalised.
