Ora Banda Mining ( (AU:OBM) ) has provided an update.

Ora Banda Mining reported record quarterly gold production of 32,036 ounces in the December 2025 quarter, a 5% rise on the prior period and 39% higher than the second half of FY25, alongside robust exploration results at Waihi, Little Gem/Riverina and Sand King that support future mine development. Despite a sharp increase in all-in sustaining costs to A$3,505/oz due to greater reliance on higher-cost third-party processing, the company grew its cash balance by A$32.8 million to A$155.4 million while investing heavily in underground development, infrastructure and exploration, and has approved A$63 million of internally funded growth projects in FY26, including work on a new 3mtpa mill, reaffirming production guidance of 140,000–155,000 ounces (towards the lower end) but lifting full-year cost and capital guidance as it accelerates its organic growth strategy.
