Chair, John Richards
The 2025 financial year was very successful for Sandfire. We delivered robust operating and financial performance and continued to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability.
Our unwavering focus on protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of our people saw us maintain a strong safety performance with our Total Recordable Injury Frequency of 1.7 remaining at the lower end of industry benchmarks, despite the disappointing increase from 1.6 last year. We will continue to improve our systems and processes as we strive to achieve an injury free workplace.
The Company delivered strong operating performance with a 12% increase in Group Copper Equivalent Production to 152.4kt. The Board is particularly pleased with these results, considering the impact of severe weather events in both Spain and Botswana in the second half of the year.
Motheo continued to perform well as we increased the sustainable production rate beyond the initial nameplate capacity of 5.2Mtpa to 5.6Mtpa. We welcomed the commencement of mining at the highergrade A4 open pit in early December, and despite the impact of heavy rain, it remains on schedule to ramp up across FY26.
Once again, MATSA demonstrated its ability to deliver safe, consistent and predictable performance, achieving high rates of ore production throughout the year. The MATSA team also completed 95km of infill and extension drilling in FY25, a record for the operation, as the team increases efforts to increase our reserves.
The Board was pleased to see the Company further strengthen its financial position, finishing the year with Group sales revenue of $1,176M and Underlying Operations EBITDA of $610M, for Underlying EBITDA of $528M. This has enabled a significant $273M reduction in net debt over the past 12 months to $123M. Our results in FY25 reinforce our belief that our strategically positioned processing hubs in the Kalahari Copper and Iberian Pyrite Belts will generate strong investment returns for shareholders and make a significant contribution to the local communities for years to come. Brendan will provide a more detailed financial and operating results summary shortly.
This year the Board completed a review of its Committee structure and membership to ensure it reflects and is able to adequately support the Company’s globally significant copper portfolio. Four standing Committees were settled with revised charters, and Directors were appointed to the respective Committees according to their background, skills and experience. We now have a focused Sustainability Committee, chaired by Paul Harvey, and the charter of the former Nominations Committee has been expanded to cover corporate governance. This committee, chaired by Sally Martin, has also commenced work on succession planning for the Board. This is not a matter requiring urgent attention, but the similar tenures of all directors means that sequencing will be important. There were no changes to Board membership and I am pleased to advise that the Board is functioning well and working as an engaged and coherent team, striving to both protect shareholders’ interests and to support the executive in delivering strong returns.
Brendan, alongside his Executive Leadership team, joined the Board in Seville earlier this year for a strategy day. Our focus remains on delivering safe, consistent and predictable performance, as well as increasing the reserves and mine life of our operations, while our new capital management framework, approved by the Board, reinforces our disciplined approach to managing your capital. In accordance with the new framework no dividend has been declared for FY25 as we continue to prioritise disciplined investment in the business and de-gearing of our balance sheet. Brendan will discuss in more detail shortly.
With this increased focus, the Board believes the Company’s strategy remains fit for purpose and positions the business to sustainably grow total shareholder returns.
ASX:SFR

More broadly, the Company is committed to building an inclusive culture that values diversity by addressing systemic barriers that impact equity in the workplace. Gender diversity allows us to gain access to a range of diverse skills and expertise, and I am pleased to say we have maintained 40:40:20 gender diversity for the Board and Executive and female representation has increased to 26% across the business. Across our organisation, we are championing this change, and an indicator of our progress was Brendan being named the ‘Champion of Women in Resources’, at the Chamber of Minerals and Energy WA’s 2025 Women in Resources Awards, earlier this year.
Non-financial performance is connected to long-term value creation, and we believe this can only be realised when sustainability is firmly embedded within our business. The management of climaterelated risks and opportunities remains one of the Board’s top priorities and we are pleased with the progress being made in response to our climate change targets and with the advancement of the power related initiatives at both MATSA and Motheo. I am also happy to report that 71% of electricity needs were supplied by renewable sources in FY25 and that an internal carbon price (ICP) was introduced throughout the business.
The Board recognises the critical importance of protecting cultural heritage and respecting the rights of Indigenous peoples. This year we have continued to strengthen measures to protect and preserve cultural heritage across our global business, and we have worked hard through open and transparent collaboration and communication, to rebuild our relationship with the Yugunga-Nya and Gingirana people in Western Australia.
Protecting cultural heritage is essential to maintaining our social licence to operate, contributing to the long-term success of our business and delivering a lasting benefit to our local communities. At the 2024 AGM, we received a vote against the Remuneration Report in relation to the level of downward discretion applied to the former CEO’s FY21 LTI. This was a strong message from our shareholders, which we acknowledge.
With this in mind, we have continued to engage with our shareholders to update them on the progress we are making to meet the commitments made to the Yugunga-Nya. Section 2 of the company’s 2025 Remuneration Report addresses in detail our response to the strike, the commitments we have made and the actions we are taking.
As we look to FY26, with the successful ramp-up of Motheo beyond its initial nameplate capacity, alongside safe, consistent and predictable performance at MATSA, we believe Sandfire is well positioned to deliver its highly valued products into an increasingly tight market and further strengthen its financial position and total shareholder returns.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Brendan for his exceptional leadership this year, as the company transforms into a sustainable mining company and global copper producer of significance. I also acknowledge the Executive Leadership Team and the broader senior leadership group for their significant achievements this year. Brendan has put together a very strong team and the Board is very pleased with their performance.
I also extend our deepest gratitude to the entire Sandfire team for their contributions to the Company, and to our valued shareholders, we thank you for your continued support.
I will now hand over to Brendan for a summary of the operational and financial results, before we move to the official proceedings of the AGM.

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Brendan Harris
Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us for our Annual General Meeting. It is my privilege to be here with you as Sandfire’s CEO and Managing Director.
Before I begin, I too would like to acknowledge the Traditional custodians of the lands on which we meet and pay my respects to their elders, past, present and emerging.
The 2025 financial year was another outstanding period for our business and our strong financial results reflect the quality of our modern mining complexes in Spain and Botswana, and our proven operating and development credentials. Of course, leadership plays an important role, and I'm exceptionally confident that my highly capable, experienced and diverse executive team will continue to deliver strong results into the future.
So let me introduce them:
-
Cath Bozanich our Chief Sustainability Officer
-
Scott Browne our Chief People Officer
-
Jason Grace our Chief Operating Officer
-
Megan Jansen our Chief Financial Officer
-
And again Gemma Tually our Chief Legal and Compliance Officer
We’re all looking forward to meeting with those of you who are able to join us here today after the formalities.
Throughout the year, we’ve dedicated significant time and resources to improve our internal systems and processes. The Sandfire Way encapsulates all of this work, it connects the company’s purpose, strategy and values, and clearly defines how we work, are organised and where accountability sits.
This foundation ensures that we remain focused on our intentionally simple and unchanged strategy, which is designed to safely and sustainably maximise total shareholder returns, while delivering a lasting benefit to our local communities.
We’re proud of our exploration and mining credentials and confident in the role copper and our other metals will play in the critical electrification and decarbonisation of the global economy. By delivering safe, consistent, and predictable performance, as well as decarbonising our portfolio, we are continuing to build stakeholder trust and our licence to operate.
Of course, nothing is more important than the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and the communities we are so proud to be a part of. While our TRIF did, disappointingly, rise marginally off a low base last year, I can confirm that we have since reversed that trend as our TRIF declined to 1.4 at the end of the September quarter. At this level, every injury is immediately felt in our statistics, which is a challenge we are embracing as we seek to create that inclusive culture that can sustain a workplace that is truly injury free and we can no longer think of this as an aspiration having just completed a quarter where we had no injuries across the expanse of our global footprint.
Guided by our purpose and values, our broader approach to sustainability must permeate everything we do and every decision we make.
To reinforce what our Chair said, meaningful engagement with Traditional Custodians and Indigenous Peoples, and the protection of their cultural heritage must always be a priority for us. In FY25, we enhanced our Group approach to the management of cultural heritage by publishing our Human Rights and Social Performance Group standard and we continued to work hard to rebuild our relationship with the Yugunga-Nya and Gingirana peoples in Western Australia.
ASX:SFR
==> picture [116 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
As I've said before, this requires a long term commitment, and Cath and I have personally travelled to be on country with the Yugunga-Nya a number of times this year and we deeply value every opportunity. We are committed to the closure process at DeGrussa where we want to create business and employment opportunities and, ultimately, a leading example for the industry. Of course, this will only occur if we work together to deliver on the commitments made in our framework agreement.
This year we will also develop a Group Community Investment Approach, which will align with our business strategy and be structured to meet local stakeholder needs. This will include a specific target for community investment to align with better practice, which will enable us to commit to programs that are designed to deliver a lasting benefit, potentially well beyond the lifecycle of our operations.
But we will only reach our true potential if our workforce represents the communities in which we operate, allowing us to draw from the greatest talent pool. We're making real progress, having maintained 40:40:20 gender diversity within our Executive Leadership Team and we've increased female representation to 26% across our global portfolio, including local levels of representation in Botswana and Spain that exceeds industry averages. But we’re far from complacent and recognise there is more work that must be done if we're to create that inclusive culture that values diversity where everyone feels safe to speak up, thrive and be their best self.
As a good, corporate citizen, we remain steadfast in the view that we need to decarbonise our operations, and we've made strong progress towards achieving our objectives, including advancing two clean power related initiatives. At MATSA, permitting a new 33 MW dedicated solar facility has been completed and is expected to be operational in FY27, while at Motheo the evaluation of a solar PV and optional battery energy storage system that could provide around 30% of Motheo’s electricity needs is also progressing well.
In summarising our operational and financial performance for FY25, I am especially proud of the way our teams responded to external challenges including a generational rain event in Botswana that resulted in widespread flooding, and power outages at both MATSA and Motheo.
Their tenacity and the growing resilience of our operations shone through as we delivered a 12% increase in Group Copper Equivalent Production to 152.4kt.
This strong result, coupled with an increasing level of consistency and predictability at MATSA, and good cost control at both operations, underpinned a 26% increase in Group sales revenue to a record $1.2B and a 46% increase in Underlying EBITDA to $528M.
The breadth and strength of our results is best demonstrated by the fundamental transformation of our balance sheet as a 15% increase in sales from our operations combined with ongoing tightness in our metal markets to deliver a $273M reduction in net debt to $123M. The establishment of our new unsecured $650M Corporate Revolver Facility, and the repayment of all other pre-existing facilities, has created even greater financial flexibility for the Group, while reducing ongoing financing costs and simplifying our funding structure. A job well done by Megan and her team.
At MATSA, our operations continued to demonstrate growing resilience by delivering another year of consistent and predictable performance, sustaining a processing rate of 4.5Mt for Copper Equivalent Production of 94.1kt. In FY26, we expect Copper Equivalent Production to increase by a further 2% to 96kt, while unit costs are expected to remain steady in locally denominated Euro terms as we work hard to again mitigate the impacts of inflation.
At Motheo, the successful ramp-up of operations delivered a number of production and financial records, including Copper Equivalent Production of 58.3kt and an Underlying Operations EBITDA margin of 60%. In FY26, we expect Copper Equivalent Production to increase by a further 3% to 61kt while costs are expected to rise by around 10% off a low base, as a high proportion of ore feed from the more distant and higher grade A4 mine is expected across the remainder of the year, as planned.
ASX:SFR
==> picture [116 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
Following a period of stability, we also made strategic changes to further simplify our organisation during the year creating a single point of accountability for all exploration activities under our Chief Operating Officer, Jason Grace. I am confident that this important change will enhance our execution capability and accelerate our exploration plans that have been designed to identify a minimum 15 years of life at our strategically positioned processing hubs within five years.
And this brings me to the Americas, where the recent drilling program at Black Butte has increased the lateral extent of the higher-grade Lower Copper Zone at Johnny Lee. A new pre-feasibility study and associated update to Black Butte's mineral resource and ore reserve estimate expected before the end of this calendar year, paving the way for our own assessment of its strategic fit in our portfolio.
In our industry, volatility and variability are ever present factors we contend with each and every day. One thing, however, that won't change is our commitment to maintain strict, capital discipline, prioritising a strong balance sheet with a preference for a net cash position, and the prudent investment in our operations to underpin safe, consistent and predictable performance. All discretionary investments will continue to compete for capital with shareholder dividends and buy-backs in accordance with our newly established Capital Management Framework, which has been designed to maximise Total Shareholder Returns and per share metrics.
Looking ahead, the successful ramp-up of Motheo and the 63% increase in Group Copper Equivalent Production over the last two years has established a stable and resilient platform. We expect to safely increase production by a further 2% to 157kt in FY26, and are well placed to accelerate drilling in both the Iberian Pyrite and Kalahari Copper Belts where we have our strategically valuable modern processing hubs.
As the world electrifies, copper will continue to be the conductor of choice and we remain optimistic that our metal concentrates will remain in high demand. With our talented team, modern operations, preferred commodity exposure and increasingly strong balance sheet, we are well positioned to navigate the current environment with confidence.
Thank you, valued shareholders, for joining us today and for your ongoing support. And a sincere thank you to my fellow directors, executives and the broader Sandfire team for the important role you play in our continuing success. We've had another great year, but we're only just getting started.

Sandfire’s Underlying financial results are outlined and reconciled to Statutory earnings measures in the Segment Note to the financial statements.
The following Underlying Earnings Adjustments are applied each period to calculate Underlying Earnings:
-
Foreign exchange rate (gains)/losses.

Impairment losses/(reversals).
-
(Gains)/losses on contingent consideration and other investments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
-
• Expenses from organisational restructures.

Our capital management framework prioritises:
-
A strong balance sheet with a preference for a net cash position
-
The optimisation of free cashflow with safe, consistent and predictable performance
-
Prudent investment in infill and extension drilling programs to increase our reserves
-
The deployment of excess capital is designed to maximise TSR and per share metrics

-
Copper Equivalent (CuEq) calculation
-
All CuEq production figures and guidance for costs, including Underlying operating costs and implied C1 unit costs are a function of specific prices which are detailed below. Actual cost outcomes are a function of realised prices and exchange rates during the period. Unless otherwise stated, FY23, FY24 and FY25 CuEq are calculated based on the average forward prices for FY25 as at 27 June 2024 in USD; Assumptions: Cu $9,623/t, Zn $2,948/t, Pb $2,200/t, Ag $30/oz.
-
FY26 guidance and FY27 to FY30 Production Targets for CuEq are calculated based on the average forward prices for FY26 as at 30 June 2025 in USD; Assumptions: Cu $9,871/t, Zn $2,795/t, Pb $2,067/t, Ag $36.9/oz. Guidance for Payable Metal is based on current commercial terms.
Copper equivalent is calculated using the following formula: Copper metal tonnes + Zn metal tonnes x (Zn price/Cu price) + Pb metal tonnes x (Pb price/Cu price) + Ag metal ounces x (Ag price/Cu price).
-
Net debt excludes capitalised transaction costs, leases, and accrued interest.
-
Underlying Operations EBITDA is Underlying EBITDA before Underlying exploration and evaluation expense and Underlying administration and other expense.
-
Operating cash flow excludes exploration and evaluation expenditure and tax.
-
Underlying operating costs
-
MATSA: Includes costs related to mining, processing, general and administration and transport, and excludes shipping costs which are offset against sales revenue for statutory reporting purposes. Motheo: Includes costs related to mining, processing, general and administration, transport (including shipping) and royalties.
-
Underlying operating costs displayed above exclude changes in finished goods inventories.
