optimistic production outlook for the 2025 financial year. At the time of writing, Westgold’s stock was trading at $2.89, up 13 cents, or 4.71%, reflecting strong investor confidence in the company’s strategic upgrades.

Westgold now expects to produce between 345,000 and 385,000 ounces of gold in FY25. This marks a
significant improvement, supported by ongoing upgrades across its mining and processing operations.

Additionally, Westgold anticipates stronger free cash flow for the year, signalling better capital discipline and improved profitability. The miner has been focused on boosting efficiency and maximising value from its Western Australian gold assets, which are now beginning to deliver tangible returns.

With gold prices remaining resilient and the company’s upgrades coming into effect, analysts suggest Westgold is well-positioned to capitalise on market conditions.
Outlook Remains Bright
As mine and mill improvements take hold, Westgold’s trajectory appears to be on an upward path. The company’s proactive approach to enhancing its operations is expected to continue supporting share price momentum in the months ahead.
At the time of writing, Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX) remains one of the top performers on the ASX, driven by its strategic clarity and robust production outlook.
