KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 21): AuMas Resources Bhd (KL:AUMAS) saw its net profit more than doubled for the fourth financial quarter ended Sept 30, 2025 (4QFY2025), supported by a strong recovery in gold production after earlier operational disruptions were resolved.

Net profit for the quarter rose to RM25.41 million from RM11.13 million a year ago, its bourse filing on Friday showed. 

Revenue surged 58.4% year-on-year to RM98.5 million from RM62.19 million, driven by higher gold output of 199.44kg at an average price of RM491,000 per kg, and silver output of 154.15kg at prevailing market price of RM3,200 per kg.

The improvement came as the group overcame earlier disruptions caused by an alleged sabotage incident in May 2025 at its Bukit Mantri mine, which had collapsed its tailings storage facility and curtailed operations in the third quarter. The group renewed its operational mining scheme in October, ensuring operational continuity it said.

Net profit turned positive from a RM19.91 million loss in 3QFY2025, while revenue more than tripled from RM29.55 million after full operations resumed in July.

Earnings per share for the quarter stood at 1.39 sen, up from 0.74 sen in 4QFY2024. The company did not declare a dividend for the quarter in review.

For the full year FY2025, net profit rose 3.8% to RM33.77 million from RM32.52 million, while revenue climbed 46.4% to RM248.57 million, supported by higher gold prices.

Looking ahead, the group said it is focused on expanding processing capacity via its new 2,000-tonne-per-day plant and will continue developing the remaining 290 hectares of its mining area.

It added that the current favourable gold price environment, with prices exceeding RM520,000 per kg, provides strong margin support for its operations.

“The combination of normalised operations, enhanced processing capabilities, favourable commodity prices, and systematic expansion of our mining areas positions AuMas for a strong performance year [in FY2026],” AuMas said.

Its shares closed unchanged at 77.5 sen on Friday, with a market capitalisation of RM1.41 billion. The counter has fallen more than 5% year-to-date.
