Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST) has provided an operational update, reporting strong June quarter performance that delivered FY25 revised production guidance. Total gold sold for the June quarter was 444koz, bringing FY25 gold sold to 1,634koz and within the revised group guidance range of 1,630-1,660koz. AISC is also expected to be within the FY25 revised cost guidance range of A$2,100-A$2,200/oz. For the Kalgoorlie Production Centre, total gold sold was 832koz for the year, below the revised guidance range. Gold sold at KCGM was 118koz for the June quarter as mining productivity improved across both underground and open pit ore sources late in the quarter. The Yandal Production Centre sold 518koz gold, at the mid-point of revised guidance. Strong performance continued at Pogo, with gold sold of 283koz, above the top end of revised guidance.The company has also provided FY26 guidance, forecasting gold sales of 1,700-1,850koz at an AISC of A$2,300-A$2,700/oz. This reflects broader sector inflationary pressure, uplift in sustaining capital, and increasing mining cost and activity across the portfolio. Growth capital expenditure is planned at A$1,140-A$1,200 million, including the KCGM Mill Expansion Project, KCGM Operational Development, and other operational readiness projects.
