Perseus Mining Increases Share Buy-Back from AUD100M to AUD 150M
Perseus upsizes its buyback to A$150M, reflecting confidence in cash generation during the Nyanzaga ramp-up and portfolio optimization.

Executive Summary
- Perseus Mining has increased its on-market share buyback program from A$100 million to A$150 million.
- The initial A$100 million tranche was completed on June 12, 2026, purchasing 19,077,751 shares at an average price of A$5.24.
- Since the program's inception in August 2024, total repurchases stand at 45,076,176 shares for A$183.5 million (average price A$4.07), representing 3.3% of shares on issue at the time of the maiden buyback.
- The expanded program will execute per ASX Listing Rules, with timing and pricing subject to market conditions.
- Management cites strong free cash flow generation, balance sheet strength, and current market undervaluation as drivers for the expansion.
- Capital structure stands at 1,339,891,309 ordinary shares and 8,625,981 performance rights.
- The company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the program at any time.
Material Impact
- The buyback increase is a positive capital allocation signal but does not alter the fundamental business model or near-term production profile.
- Given the company's reported liquidity of ~$912 million (cash/bullion + marketable shares) plus a $400 million undrawn facility, and the recent $260 million Sudan divestment, the expanded buyback is fully funded and expected by the market.
- The stock has already appreciated ~60% from its July 2025 lows, pricing in much of the balance sheet strength and reserve growth. The market reaction will likely be muted, consistent with a routine capital return execution.
