Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX: RMS) 

Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX: RMS) is a Western Australian gold producer with operations dating back to 2006. The company owns and operates several key assets, including the Edna May, Marda, Mt Magnet, Penny, Symes, and Tampia gold mines. Ramelius is committed to growth through exploration and development, maintaining a portfolio of gold projects across Western Australia.

Recommendation Rationale – SELL at AUD 3.880

  • Technical Standpoint: RMS’ share price has surpassed the R1 level recommended on 8 December 2025. This quick upward move raises the risk of short-term consolidation or downside retracement.
  • Production Decline: Ramelius Resources reported Q1 FY26 gold production of 55,013 ounces, a 25% drop from the prior quarter, driven by lower mined and milled grades at key sites like Cue and Penny West. 
  • Operational Weakness: In Q1 FY26, mined grades fell to 2.74 g/t (from 6.87 g/t in Q4 FY25) and milled grades to 3.30 g/t, reflecting Cue's transition to lower-grade fresh rock and increased low-grade ore from Penny West. Forward guidance signals further declines, before potential recovery from new projects like Dalgaranga, raising concerns over near-term delivery.
  • Cost Pressures: AISC rose sharply to AU$1,836/oz in Q1 FY26 from AU$1,339/oz in Q4 FY25, eroding margins despite a realized gold price of AU$4,528/oz, due to lower volumes and integration costs from the Spartan acquisition.
  • Outlook Scenario: RMS’ growth and medium-term production outlook depends on successfully integrating the Spartan acquisition and optimising the combined Mt Magnet–Dalgaranga operations, yet management notes the integration/optimisation work is still to be undertaken and the “500kozpa by FY30” ambition is explicitly aspirational (not a firm production target).

Valuation Methodology: Price/Cash Flow Value Approach (FY June'26E) (Illustrative)

The stock may trade at a slight premium to peers given the ambitious 5-year plan targets 500kozpa, liquidity position (AU$827.7 million cash at Q1 FY26 end, net cash position), and 110.77% YoY growth in FY25 EPS (earnings per share). For valuation, the following peers have been considered - Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN), Capricorn Metals Ltd (ASX: CMM), and Emerald Resources NL (ASX: EMR).

Given the stock is approaching to its R2 level, recent rally in the share price, and risks associated, it is prudent to sell the stock at the current levels. Hence, a ‘Sell’ recommendation is given on the stock at the current market price of AUD 3.88, as of 11 December 2025, at 12:16 PM AEDT.

Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and geopolitical issues prevailing geopolitical tensions. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
