Kalgoorlie-based MLG Oz Limited (ASX:MLG) is a mining services and resource asset management provider. The company specialises in supporting ore processing operations across gold, iron ore, and other base metals in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
H1 FY25 Performance
MLG posted a 20.31% YoY revenue growth in the first half of the financial year 2025 (H1 FY25), with revenue climbing to AUD 268.56 million from AUD 223.22 million in H1 FY24. This boost was largely driven by a 32.7% YoY increase in mine site services and bulk haulage, totalling AUD 246.7 million.
During the reported period, gross profit rose by 11.95% YoY to AUD 40.79 million. However, Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) declined by 42.25% YoY to AUD 4.10 million, primarily due to higher depreciation associated with recent fleet investments and weaker revenue from crushing and screening services.
Despite the drop in NPAT, MLG remains optimistic about its growth trajectory, with expectations of continued momentum into H2 FY25 and beyond, driven by expanding operations at six major mining sites including King of the Hills and Norseman.
New Westgold Contract to Boost Future Revenues
MLG recently secured a major three-year, AUD 75 million bulk haulage contract with Westgold Resources, set to begin in March 2025. The deal is projected to generate over AUD 25 million in annual revenue and further strengthen MLG’s operations in the Goldfields region.
This contract is expected to add to revenue from FY26.
Strategic Investments
To support its growth strategy and reduce long-term rental expenses, MLG has invested AUD 29.2 million in fleet expansion. The acquisition of an AUD 3.5 million accommodation facility in Kalgoorlie is another strategic step aimed at improving workforce retention and operational cost efficiency.
Leadership Expansion
On 24 March 2025, MLG informed about the appointed Mr. Simon Price as a Non-Executive Director. A co-founder and Deputy Chair of Azure Capital, Price brings extensive expertise in corporate finance, M&A, and capital markets.
