Monument Mining Announces Robust Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Performance
Monument Mining Limited, a prominent mining company, has released its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, covering the period ended December 31, 2025. The report reveals significant growth in revenue and profitability, driven by strong gold production and favorable market conditions.
Key Financial Highlights and Operational Achievements
In Q2 FY 2026, Monument Mining achieved a gross revenue of US$49.23 million, a substantial increase compared to previous periods. The company reported a net income of $20.16 million, or $0.06 per share, marking a notable rise from $8.84 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Cash reserves strengthened significantly, with an increase of $19.81 million to a total of $82.65 million, enhancing the company's liquidity for future initiatives.
President and CEO Cathy Zhai emphasized the positive impact of gold production and sales at the Selinsing Gold Mine in Malaysia, coupled with supportive gold prices, which contributed to robust cash flow. She noted that exploration efforts at Selinsing are ongoing, focusing on potential mine expansion, while regulatory compliance and infrastructure planning in Western Australia remain top priorities.
Production and Cost Metrics
Gold production for the quarter reached 10,249 ounces, up from 8,613 ounces in Q2 FY 2025. Sales volume also increased, with 13,725 ounces sold at an average realized price of $4,197 per ounce. However, cash cost per ounce sold rose to $1,288, primarily due to higher royalties associated with the elevated gold prices. The all-in sustaining cost decreased by 18% to $1,421 per ounce sold, reflecting improved operational efficiency.
Other financial metrics include a gross margin of $31.55 million, a 173% increase year-over-year, and working capital of $86.58 million, up $28.04 million from the previous period. The company also announced a special dividend in December 2025, which was paid out in January 2026, underscoring its strong financial position.
