Fenix Resources Ltd (ASX: FEX) 

Fenix Resources Ltd (ASX: FEX) is a fully integrated mining, logistics, and port services company based in the Mid-West region of Western Australia. The company operates a unique, vertically integrated business model that combines high-quality iron ore production with efficient logistics and port services. Fenix’s operations include the Iron Ridge mine, the Beebyn-W11 Deposit, the Twin Peaks Iron Ore Mine, and the Shine Iron Ore Mine, as well as its fully owned Newhaul Road and Port Logistics businesses.

Recommendation Rationale - SELL at AUD 0.310 

  • Surpassed Resistance: FEX is trading around the ‘Resistance 1’ level recommended on 16 April 2025. Therefore, FEX can face resistance at the current levels.
  • Lapse of Fenix Takeover Offer: Fenix Resources' takeover offer for CZR Resources lapsed as it failed to meet the 75% acceptance threshold by the offer close date. Consequently, the bid became void, and Fenix canceled its proposed securities issue related to the acquisition. Fenix also ceased its substantial holding in CZR and decided not to match competing bids, effectively ending its pursuit of CZR’s Robe Mesa iron ore project.
  • Elevated operating costs at Shine mine: Although production ramped up, the Shine mine experienced higher initial C1 cash costs (AU$86.90/wmt) in H1 FY25 due to early mine development and a higher strip ratio, which may pressure margins until operations stabilize.
  • Decline in quarterly shipments:Total shipments dropped 23% quarter-on-quarter to 594kt in December 2024, which could reflect operational or market challenges impacting sales volumes
