A Maiden Distribution Following Operational Cash Generation

In September 2026, Focus Minerals Limited (ASX:FML) declared a maiden fully franked final dividend of 8 cents per ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2025. The board set payment for 1 October 2026. Based on 286,558,645 ordinary shares on issue at 30 June 2026, the estimated distribution was $22.92 million.

The dividend was announced after the June quarter and therefore does not form part of the reported 30 June 2026 cash balance.
