Focused on Growth. Driven by Gold.
Focus Minerals Limited (ASX: FML) is a Western Australian gold producer with a strong foundation in the Coolgardie region. Our operations are centred on the Three Mile Hill (TMH) processing plant and a portfolio of high-quality open pit and underground deposits.
In 2023, Focus completed the refurbishment of the TMH processing plant, restating its nameplate capacity of 1.2 MTPA. Commissioning of the plant occurred during the same year with low grade stockpiles supplemented by mining at the adjacent Greenfields pit.
Focus Minerals is committed to unlocking the full potential of its mineral resources and processing facilities at Coolgardie, and delivering long-term value to shareholders while upholding the highest standards of governance and sustainability.
Our strategy is underpinned by:
Operational excellence – driving efficiency, safety, and reliability across our mines and plant.
Growth pipeline – advancing a portfolio of near-term production assets to extend mine life.
Value for shareholders – maintaining an unhedged position to maximise exposure to strong Australian Dollar gold prices.
