K92 Mining Announces 2025 Q4 and Annual Financial Results - Record Annual Net Cash Balance, Revenue, Net Earnings, Operating Cash Flow and EBITDA; Annual Production at Upper Half of Guidance, Cash Cost and AISC Better Than Guidance
K92 Mining achieves record annual results and completes Stage 3 expansion under budget, transitioning to a Tier 1 mid-tier producer.
The most recent news release (March 2, 2026) reports record-breaking annual financial and operational results for the fiscal year 2025. Key highlights include: - Record annual revenue of US$595.2 million (up 70% YoY) and net earnings of US$270.2 million. - Annual production of 174,134 oz AuEq, hitting the upper half of the 160k–185k oz guidance. - Cash costs (US$695/oz) and AISC (US$1,308/oz) both significantly outperformed the original guidance ranges. - Successful completion and commissioning of the 1.2 million tonne-per-annum (mtpa) Stage 3 Expansion Process Plant, delivered under budget. - Record net cash balance providing flexibility to accelerate Stage 4 Expansion projects.
The impact is Material - Positive. This news confirms that K92 has successfully navigated the highest-risk phase of its growth—the construction and commissioning of a major plant expansion—without capital overruns or significant delays. - Operational De-risking: Delivering the Stage 3 plant under budget in a high-inflation environment is a major win for management credibility. - Financial Strength: The record net cash position and operating cash flow (US$329.3M) mean the company is self-funding its next growth phase (Stage 4) and aggressive exploration. - Cost Efficiency: Beating AISC guidance by over US$150/oz demonstrates strong operational control despite the increased activity levels. - Exploration Upside: The news also highlights significant depth extensions at Kora and Judd, suggesting the mine life will continue to expand alongside throughput.

The mine is known for its exceptionally high grades (averaging ~10 g/t AuEq) and low cash costs.
