Aeris Resources (ASX:AIS) achieved a total group copper equivalent production of 42.1kt for the 2026 financial year, meeting its official guidance range of 40–49kt.

The total production result matched broader market expectations, with total annual gold output reaching 49koz and silver volumes reaching 255.7koz to sit within guided bands.

"Overall, FY26 results were solid with group copper equivalent production within guidance and a very strong closing cash and receivables position," said Aeris Resources Executive Chairman Andre Labuschagne.

Operationally, copper output at the Tritton asset increased by 19% compared to the previous year to 23kt, though it finished 4% below guidance due to certain geotechnical delays at the Murrawombie Pit.

The company stated that its closing cash and receivables position of $202.3 million will provide necessary funding for the upcoming development of the Constellation Project.
