KUALA LUMPUR: AuMAS Resources Berhad (AuMAS), Malaysia’s premier listed gold mining company, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 30 September 2025.
The Group demonstrated remarkable resilience, achieving a full operational recovery in the final quarter and capitalising on record-high gold prices to deliver strong profitability and shareholder returns.
For the full year FY2025, the Group reported a total revenue of RM248.57 million, driven by the production of 566.42 kilograms of gold doré and 625.59 kilograms of silver doré.
Performance accelerated sharply in the fourth quarter following the resolution of a sabotage incident in May 2025 that temporarily disrupted operations at the Bukit Mantri facility. With operations restored to full capacity in July, the Group achieved a robust operating profit exceeding RM64.00 million in 4Q2025.
Gold doré production for the quarter reached 199.44 kilograms, generating precious metals revenue of RM98.50 million. AuMAS benefited significantly from a surging gold price environment, which rose from approximately RM367,000 per kilogram in October 2024 to over RM525,000 per kilogram by September 2025.
“FY2025 was a testament to our team’s operational discipline and resilience,” said Dr. Frederick Chong, Executive Director of AuMAS in a statement today.
“After navigating unprecedented challenges in Q3, our swift response enabled us to not only stabilize operations but to return to normalized production momentum in Q4. With a strong balance sheet and minimal debt, we are now firmly focused on executing our growth strategy for FY2026.”
This strategy includes the development of a new processing plant, optimisation of existing mining areas, and the advancement of the exploration contract at Mount Andrassy, located 10 km from the Bukit Mantri site.
The new processing plant remains central to the Group’s FY2026 strategy. Coupled with planned mine development, it is designed to increase resource availability, operational scale and processing efficiency. Furthermore, the successful renewal of the Operational Mining Scheme (OMS) licence in October 2025 secures the Group’s long-term operational continuity.
Demonstrating confidence in its financial health and future prospects, the Board has declared a first interim single-tier dividend of 1.5 sen per ordinary share for FY2026, amounting to RM27,322,462.11. This is in addition to the FY2025 dividend of 2.5 sen per share, bringing the total dividend payout for the year to approximately RM72.85 million.
“The interim dividend will be paid on 23 December 2025 to shareholders on record as of 8 December 2025,” according to the statement.
As part of a strengthened risk management framework, the Group has rolled out robust new security protocols. These include upgraded perimeter security and continuous boundary surveillance, specifically designed to mitigate the risk of any future disruptions.
AuMAS Resources Berhad is a Malaysia-based investment holding company primarily engaged in gold mining. As the only Bursa-listed company with gold mining as its core business, the Group operates the Bukit Mantri mine in Tawau, Sabah.
