The latest update is out from Red Hill Iron Limited ( (AU:RHI) ).

Red Hill Minerals reported a strong half-year to 31 December 2025, lifting statutory profit before tax to $15.2 million from $5.3 million a year earlier, underpinned by $14.9 million in royalty revenue from the Onslow Iron Ore Project running at full capacity. The board declared an interim fully franked dividend of 11.6 cents per share for FY26, following a $4.2 million fully franked payout in September, while maintaining a solid cash and receivables position of $69.9 million despite $4.6 million in exploration spending and completing a $2.0 million cash payment for the Sandstone Royalty.

Management highlighted stabilisation and growth in its royalty portfolio and continued drill-focused work across its gold and base metal assets, signalling an intent to leverage strong cash flows from Onslow to fund exploration-led growth. The combination of rising profits, sustained dividend payments and active project advancement suggests improving financial resilience and potential upside for shareholders as Red Hill balances income from royalties with longer-term resource development.
