The latest announcement is out from Vault Minerals Limited ( (AU:VAU) ).
Vault Minerals reported March quarter gold production of 78,578 ounces and sales of 77,707 ounces at an average realised price of A$6,987 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of A$3,006, keeping the company on track to meet its FY26 production and cost guidance. Operational highlights included solid outputs from Mount Monger and the Deflector region, a performance uplift at the Deflector underground mine under owner-operator control, and 43,349 ounces produced at Leonora, where the first stage of the King of the Hills plant upgrade was completed, delivering higher throughput during ramp-up.
The miner generated underlying free cash flow of A$229 million in the quarter, a sharp increase helped by its first unhedged period and ongoing investment at Leonora and Deflector, and ended the quarter with A$728 million in cash and bullion. Vault advanced growth initiatives such as the Stage 2 KoTH plant expansion targeting a ~50% throughput increase and longer mine life at Leonora, studied a low-capital restart of the Darlot mill, and reinforced its high-yield positioning via a maiden interim dividend, an active share buyback, and assurances over fuel supply resilience for its operations.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VAU) stock is a Buy with a A$6.30 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vault Minerals Limited stock, see the AU:VAU Stock Forecast page.
