Fenix Resources Ltd (ASX:FEX) is a fully integrated mining, logistics, and port services company operating in Western Australia’s Mid-West region. Fenix's third mine, Beebyn-W11, has emerged as a cornerstone in the company’s growth plans. Following the completion of mining and heritage approvals in early 2025, the company awarded a mining contract to MACA and commenced construction activities, including a dedicated 17.6 km private haul road to link operations with its Iron Ridge site. With production expected to commence in the September 2025 quarter, Beebyn-W11 is forecast to contribute an additional 1.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), helping Fenix meet its targeted 4 Mtpa production rate.

FEX Performance in March Quarter

During the third quarter of the financial year 2025 (Q3 FY25), Fenix shipped a record 704,000 wet metric tonnes (wmt) of iron ore, achieving notable cost reductions at both Iron Ridge and Shine operations, which recorded respective cash costs of AUD 73.8/wmt and AUD 77.9/wmt.

The company ended the quarter with a cash reserve of AUD 54.9 million and an operational cash flow of AUD 26.3 million. Capital expenditure during the period stood at AUD 9.7 million, primarily invested in logistics fleet upgrades and infrastructure development.

Strategic Expansion Through CZR Resources Acquisition

In April 2025, the company entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of ASX-listed CZR via an all-scrip, off-market takeover offer. Valued at approximately AUD 71 million, the deal represents an implied premium of 27–53% depending on acceptance levels. The acquisition is set to significantly enhance Fenix’s resource base, especially through CZR’s Robe Mesa project in the Pilbara region—a high-quality iron ore asset.

FEX Performance in H1 FY25

In H1 FY25, total ore sales increased by 33.11% YoY to 939.5k wmt compared to the same period in FY24. Revenue saw a 3.18% YoY uplift, reaching AUD130.97 million. While profit before tax declined by almost 89% due to one-off items and rising capital expenditures, the company reported 3.18% YoY growth in revenue to AUD 130.97 million.

The December 2024 acquisition of the Beebyn North and Beebyn Hills exploration tenements further consolidated Fenix’s presence in the Mid-West, augmenting its regional landholding.
