Austral Resources Australia Limited ( (AU:AR1) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Austral Resources has marked a significant return to public markets with a A$40 million capital raising and re-quotation on the ASX after a 26‑month suspension, while delivering a stronger-than-forecast December 2025 quarter from its Lady Annie operations. Despite heavy wet-season rains and temporary access disruptions, the company exceeded production guidance at Anthill and Mt Kelly, mining higher‑grade ore, stacking 469,160 tonnes to the heap leach, and producing 2,644 tonnes of high-purity copper cathode, generating about A$41.3 million in copper sales, positive operating cash flow of A$3.6 million and maintaining A$19.6 million in cash at period end. Management emphasised that improved operational reliability, proactive weather and maintenance planning, and the establishment of a technical committee for the Rocklands restart underpin Austral’s ambition to become a mid-tier copper producer and support its growth trajectory into 2026 as Anthill nears completion and multiple new mining fronts are planned.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:AR1) stock is a Hold with a A$0.12 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Austral Resources Australia Limited stock, see the AU:AR1 Stock Forecast page.
