Evolution Mining Posts 3% Rise in Group Gold Mineral Resources to 31 Million Ounces

By

-- Evolution Mining's (ASX:EVN) group mineral resources reached an estimated 31 million ounces of gold and 4.2 million tonnes of copper net of depletion, with contained gold increasing by 900,000 ounces or 3% year-on-year, driven by continued growth at Cowal of 1.2 million ounces and Northparkes open pits of 170,000 ounces, according to a Friday Australian bourse filing.

The company said group ore reserves stand at 12 million ounces of gold and 1.3 million tonnes of copper net of depletion, with contained gold increasing by 500,000 ounces or 5%, underpinned by reserve additions at Cowal of 670,000 ounces and Red Lake Tailings of 200,000 ounces.

Mining depletion at Ernest Henry and updates at Marsden contributed to a decline in copper mineral resources of 200,000 tonnes or 4%, while mining depletion at Ernest Henry and Northparkes contributed to a decrease in copper ore reserves of 100,000 tonnes or 4%, the filing added.

The Northparkes expansion study, expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2027, is expected to deliver further growth to group mineral resources and ore reserves as studies are completed and execution work progresses, the company added.

The company's shares rose 1% in recent Friday trade.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Asbury Automotive Group Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $30 to $220, based on a 2027 P/E of 7.5x, a justified discount to ABG's 10-year average forward P/E of 8.6x. We lower our adjusted EPS estimates to $26.15 from $28.50 for 2026 and to $29.50 from $31.30 for 2027. ABG's same-store sales remains concerning, with revenue declining 9% Y/Y in Q1, as it continues to feel pressure from broader industry headwinds and consumer spending constraints, and is particularly notable given ABG's favorable geographic footprint concentrated in faster-growing southeastern U.S. markets. While we liked ABG's mid-2025 Herb Chambers acquisition (a top 20 private U.S. auto dealership in terms of annual revenue), the acquired assets weren't enough to offset disappointing same-store sales, driving a $260M top-line shortfall relative to consensus. We remain at Hold, seeing more compelling opportunities across the space.
