OCEANAGOLD (Philippines), Inc. reported a greater than twofold increase in net income to $76.5 million for 2025 from $30.3 million a 12 months earlier, driven by higher revenues and robust gold prices.

In an announcement on Thursday, the listed miner said revenues rose 27.97% to $438.8 million from $342.9 million previously, supported by record average realized gold prices of $3,494 per ounce.

Gold production fell 6.49% to 90,700 ounces from 97,000 ounces a 12 months earlier, while copper output increased 8.13% to 13,300 metric tons (MT) from 12,300 MT.

Costs were barely higher throughout the period. Mining cost rose 6.99% to $43.33 per MT mined in 2025 from $40.50 a 12 months earlier, while processing cost edged as much as $8.79 per MT milled from $8.77.

General and administrative expenses also increased 4.68%, to $13.20 per MT milled in 2025 from $12.61 a 12 months earlier.

OceanaGold Philippines expects production at its Didipio mine in Nueva Vizcaya this 12 months to achieve 85,000 to 105,000 ounces of gold and 13,000 to fifteen,000 MT of copper.

All-in sustaining costs are projected at $975 to $1,100 per ounce.

The corporate said capital expenditures for 2026 are set at $65 million, covering sustaining capital, underground development, growth projects, and exploration.

Meanwhile, OceanaGold Philippines said mineral reserves at its Didipio mine declined to 1.13 million ounces of gold and 0.13 million MT of copper as a consequence of mine depletion.

The corporate said it stays focused on improving underground productivity and advancing exploration to support future output.

“Waiting for 2026, our focus stays on maximizing underground productivity, advancing underground and near-mine exploration, and driving initiatives that enhance efficiencies,” Brian Martin, chair of the board of OceanaGold Philippines, said.
