How Did Evolution Mining Share Price React To The Report
As the Evolution Mining share price mirrored cash strength and cost performance improved, the market players welcomed the consistent contribution to the guidance. The record operating mine cash flow of $1.1 billion was a whopping 57% increase over the previous quarter, while net mine cash flow showed almost 100% growth quarterly.
The group cash balance rose to $967 million, an increase of $187 million, while the gearing was improved to 6%, in comparison to 11% at 30 September 2025 and 33% at 31 December 2023.
The company made it clear that there would be no debt repayments until November 2028, thereby providing long-term financial flexibility.
The management said that they had delivered the plan for the eighth consecutive quarter and this had built up the trust in their operations during times of uncertainty in the commodity markets.
Record Cash Flow Momentum Strengthens Balance Sheet Position
Throughout the quarter, cash generation continued to be the key focus as operating mine cash flow, amounting to $1.1 billion or $5,469 per ounce, was the main contributor, while net mine cash flow was $727 million or $3,759 per ounce.
The group’s cash flow from operations reached $541 million, which translates into $2,797 per ounce, whereas the reported group cash flow was $2,130 per ounce. The company maintained its capital discipline with $57 million on sustaining capital and $201 million on major capital, similar to the previous quarter.
Liquidity grew to nearly $1.5 billion, which included a $525 million undrawn revolving credit facility. Gearing improvement was supported by declining net debt and increasing cash reserves, which were utilised for project execution and shareholder value enhancement.

What Drove Production Performance Across Operations
In connection with the December quarter, Evolution Mining’s production report showed an output of 191,000 ounces of gold and 18,000 tons of copper, along with the leading industry all-in sustaining cost of $1,275 per ounce.
Cowal’s performance resulted in a net mine cash flow of $284 million at $3,564 per ounce, thus providing evidence for its top-notch operational status.
Mungari’s output hit 50k,s marking a new record and moving towards the 200,000 ounces per annum target after the commissioning of the plant expansion.
Ernest Henry was hit by about 300 millimetres of rain within a day, causing a temporary halt to operations; however, the safety of personnel was ensured, and the recovery is on track. The impact on production has been estimated for FY26 to be 7-8 thousand ounces of gold and 4-5 thousand tons of copper.
Updated Guidance Reinforces Cost Leadership Position
The prediction for the total group output still stands at 710,000 to 780,000 ounces of gold and 70,000 to 80,000 tons of copper, whereas the copper production is going to be at the low end because of the weather influences.
The revised combined AISC guidance of $1,640 per ounce to $1,760 per ounce is a result of cost control and increased by-product credits, and it is 6% improvement over the original one that was set by the management.
The company says that Evolution is still one of the lowest-cost producers in the world, which means that the company’s profitability is less affected by the price fluctuations.

What Does This Mean For Investors In 2026
The execution of the project is right on time, with the Cowal Open Pit Continuation going as planned, while the Northparkes E22 and Ernest Henry Bert studies are waiting for the board’s evaluation in the March 2026 quarter.
Exploration costs were $10 million, and at the same time, the acquisition of new land adjacent to the Ernest Henry mine increased the company’s future growth potential.
Evolution Mining’s strong cash flow, careful capital allocation, and reliable performance will continue to position its share price for the sustained interest of investors through 2026.
