What's Happening?
AuMAS Resources Berhad, a leading gold mining company in Malaysia, has announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending September 30, 2025. The company reported a total revenue of RM248.57 million, driven by the production of 566.42
kilograms of gold doré and 625.59 kilograms of silver doré.

With operations restored to full capacity in July, AuMAS achieved a robust operating profit exceeding RM64.00 million in the fourth quarter. The company benefited from record-high gold prices, which rose from approximately RM367,000 per kilogram in October 2024 to over RM525,000 per kilogram by September 2025.
