VBX Lifts Wuudagu Bauxite Resource and Expands Project Scope on Strong Market Backdrop

An announcement from VBX Limited ( (AU:VBX) ) is now available.

VBX Limited has reported a substantial upgrade to the Mineral Resource Estimate at its Wuudagu B and C deposits following completion of a 2025 infill drilling program, delivering a 51% increase to 95.8 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated resources at attractive alumina and silica grades, with most of the resource now classified in higher-confidence categories. Complementary exploration drilling at Wuudagu D, E and F has identified thicker, higher-alumina and lower-silica bauxite outside the existing resource base, while definitive feasibility study metallurgical optimisation has improved product mass recovery and underpinned a material expansion of project scope, including lifting planned mining and beneficiation rates to 8–9 Mtpa, selecting a bore field for water supply and co-locating key export infrastructure at Guy Point; together with favourable bauxite market conditions and new funding to support the enlarged study, these developments strengthen Wuudagu’s potential scale, economics and strategic positioning for investors and other stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VBX) stock is a Buy with a A$2.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on VBX Limited stock, see the AU:VBX Stock Forecast page.
