Status Update summary16 Oct, 2025

Operational and Market Overview

  • Q3 2025 production and shipments declined due to WCP A upgrade work, vessel maintenance, and a customer in financial distress, with ilmenite output down 19% YoY and shipments down 25% YoY.

  • WCP A upgrade, a $341 million project, is over 80% complete, with commissioning underway and full capacity expected by year-end, unlocking access to the Nataka ore body for long-term production.

  • The mine operates with a low environmental footprint, using hydro-generated power and progressive land rehabilitation, and is included in the FTSE4Good Index for sustainability.

  • Safety performance improved, with a lost time injury frequency rate of 0.02 per 200,000 hours and the WCP A Projects team remaining LTI-free since project start.

  • Concentrates production rose 58% YoY, benefiting from the first commercial shipment of the new ZrTi product.

Financial Performance and Capital Allocation

  • EBITDA margins ranged from 28–40% in recent years, with H1 2025 at 30%, and over $300 million returned to shareholders since 2019 through dividends and buybacks.

  • Net debt increased from $25 million at end-2024 to $85 million by June 30, 2025, reflecting project investment.

  • 2025 interim dividend was set at $0.10 per share, with a policy to return 20–40% of profit after tax as dividends.

  • Sustaining and improvement CapEx post-WCP A is expected at $30–50 million annually, with no major new development CapEx planned.

  • Future capital allocation will prioritize balance sheet stabilization, continued dividends, opportunistic M&A, and potential share buybacks.

Market Conditions and Outlook

  • Ilmenite and zircon prices softened in 2025 due to global oversupply, especially from China, with recovery expected toward late 2026 as supply tightens.

  • Demand for high-grade zircon remains stable, and nearly all 2025 zircon production is expected to be sold.

  • 2025 ilmenite production guidance is 930,000–960,000 tonnes, now expected at the lower end of the range due to delayed upgrade work.

  • A major customer defaulted on a $9–9.3 million payment, with title to goods retained and recovery efforts ongoing.

  • HMC and finished product inventories increased in Q3, with drawdown expected in Q4 as shipping capacity normalizes.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
