Group 6 Metals (G6M) director significantly increases equity stake

Over 5.6 billion new shares acquired via cash and debt conversion

Q1 tungsten sales up 60% quarter-over-quarter

Group 6 Metals (ASX:G6M), a Tasmanian-based tungsten producer, has recently drawn attention from the market after a major internal shareholder move. Non-executive director Chris Ellis has more than doubled his equity stake in the company, signaling a strong vote of confidence in the company’s direction.

Previously holding 14.42% of the company, Ellis now commands a 25.99% interest after acquiring an additional 303.6 million shares. The transaction, valued at approximately $1.1 million, was not just limited to share purchases. He also converted a significant portion of secured debt into equity—amounting to a conversion of 5.3 billion shares, executed at $0.004 and $0.005 per share.

The move follows Group 6 Metals’ late-2024 recapitalisation plan aimed at debt reduction, liquidity improvement, and funding operational enhancements. These efforts appear to be yielding early signs of success, as evidenced by the company’s Q1 production figures.

In the March quarter, Group 6 Metals produced 112,000 tonnes of ore from the Dolphin open cut mine located in King Island, Tasmania. The saleable tungsten output reached 14,955 tonnes at an average grade of 55%. Impressively, the company sold 14,948 tonnes of tungsten during the period—an increase from 9,332 tonnes sold in the prior quarter—generating $4.6 million in revenue.

This production momentum, combined with strengthened financial positioning and growing director commitment, could position Group 6 Metals as a company to monitor closely, especially among investors focusing on emerging miners with strong internal backing.

For those exploring broader market opportunities, this development within Group 6 Metals occurs in a dynamic context on the ASX200, where resource-focused stocks often play a key role in market performance.

Additionally, Group 6 Metals’ recent transformation may prompt interest among those who follow ASX dividend stocks, particularly as the company stabilizes its cash flow and improves profitability potential over time.

The increased stake by a director not only reflects internal confidence but also underscores the strategic importance of aligning shareholder and management interests in Australia's fast-evolving mining sector.
