Bald Hill Lithium Mine Restarts as Onslow Iron Hits Full Capacity and Succession Plans Unfold Mineral Resources has restarted production at the Bald Hill lithium mine following improved lithium pricing, while its Onslow Iron project has reached full capacity of 35 million tonnes per annum, triggering a A$200 million contingent payment and supporting a record half-year across lithium and iron ore.
Management has flagged a leadership succession process, with Chief Operating Officer Darren Killeen identified as a key internal candidate to eventually succeed long-time Managing Director Chris Ellison, although no transition date or preferred replacement has been confirmed.
Mineral Resources shares trade at A$65.86, with the stock up 18.8% year to date, after a pullback from recent levels and a 3.6% decline following the succession update.
The mix of new lithium output, steady-state iron ore volumes and an active CEO succession process leaves execution risk focused on capital discipline and leadership stability rather than project commencement. Noticias en vivo • Jun 15
Mineral Resources Lifts FY26 Output Forecasts as Lithium and Iron Ore Boost Earnings Mineral Resources has upgraded its FY26 production guidance across key assets, including Onslow Iron, Wodgina, Mt Marion and its Mining Services business.
The company reports that its lithium and iron ore divisions are driving earnings, supported by improved commodity price dynamics and realised pricing.
Liquidity stands at A$1.8b, while net debt is reported at about A$4.5b, indicating a balance sheet that has been recently adjusted.
Higher FY26 production guidance and earnings contribution from both lithium and iron ore suggest a business that is leaning on multiple commodities rather than a single revenue source.
When assessing Mineral Resources, it may be useful to weigh the updated production ambitions and current debt position against individual expectations for commodity price cycles and the capital intensity of mining projects. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jun 12

Mineral Resources Approves A$490 Million Mt Marion Lithium Expansion With Onslow Iron Progress Mineral Resources and partner Ganfeng have approved a A$490 million spend to expand the Mt Marion lithium operation, including a move into underground mining and construction of a new flotation plant.
The Mt Marion upgrade is aimed at lifting spodumene production capacity, improving recovery rates and extending the mine’s operational life.
Across the wider business, Mineral Resources is leaning on its diversified model across mining services, iron ore, lithium and energy, with the Onslow Iron project singled out as a key growth driver and liquidity and net debt metrics reported as improved following refinancing.
The combination of a large lithium expansion at Mt Marion and ongoing progress at Onslow Iron highlights the importance of project execution and operational reliability to Mineral Resources’ longer-term earnings mix.
Readers may want to monitor capital allocation, cost control and any updates to project timelines, since delays or budget overruns at Mt Marion or Onslow could affect cash flow and the balance between growth spending and returns to shareholders. New Risk • May 19
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: AU$122m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.0x net interest cover). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (AU$122m sold). Recent Insider Transactions • May 19

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 10% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.0x net interest cover). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 10% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results. Reported Earnings • Feb 22

Mineral Resources Reportedly Explores Sale of Bald Hill Lithium Mine Further speculation has surfaced in the market about asset sales being explored by Mineral Resources Limited (ASX:MIN), with the latest being its $1 billion Bald Hill lithium mine in Western Australia's Goldfields region. DataRoom understands that Mineral Resources adviser JPMorgan may have been quietly courting suitors that could be keen to buy the asset that Chris Ellison's Mineral Resources has outlaid about $1 billion on in terms of investment. However, the mine was placed into care and maintenance late last year following a strategic review on the back of a prolonged period of low lithium prices. DataRoom reported this month that Mineral Resources quietly launched a sale process for its Wodgina lithium operation late last year and has tested the market for an equity raising. This was as bonds for MinRes had started trading at a discount of 10c-15c in the dollar amid volatile market conditions that had weakened bond prices generally as investors search for liquidity. MinRes now says it has no plans to sell Wodgina, suggesting that interest from the groups it approached, such as South Korea's LG Chemical and other Japanese trading houses and car manufactures like Mitsubishi, did not offer an adequate price. Broker consensus estimates for the 50% interest in Wodgina are around $2.2 billion and offers were understood to have come in lower than that. Anuncio • Mar 24

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.4% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.2x net interest cover). High level of non-cash earnings (33% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (7.9% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.4% increase in shares outstanding). Anuncio • Mar 20
