Westgold Resources ( (AU:WGX) ) just unveiled an update.

Westgold Resources announced a substantial financial shift for the period ending December 31, 2024. The company’s revenue surged by 72% due to an increased gold price and their acquisition of Karora Resources Inc., which significantly boosted gold production by 29%. However, despite the revenue increase, Westgold reported a net loss attributable to members of $27.56 million, a stark contrast to the previous year’s profit. This loss is largely due to increased costs and investments related to the acquisition and expanded operations. The acquisition resulted in increased assets but also drove a reduction in cash reserves. The acquisition of Karora Resources brought several subsidiaries under Westgold’s control, expanding its operational footprint in the gold mining sector.
