OceanaGold Philippines Inc. (OGP) has reported a staggering 369.9% increase in its net income for the first quarter of 2026, reaching $34.7 million. This growth comes despite a slight decline in production volume.
The company's revenue for the quarter nearly doubled to $158.4 million, largely due to significant increases in gold and copper prices.
Gold prices averaged $5,049 per ounce, marking a 76.7% rise, while copper prices surged by 42.9% to $6.10 per ounce.
Despite a decrease in gold and copper production—totaling 20,400 ounces and 3,200 tons, respectively—sales volumes for both metals increased. OceanaGold sold 22,600 ounces of gold, up 27%, and copper sales rose by 3% to 3,300 tons.
We remain focused on safely and responsibly delivering on our guidance for the year, capitalizing on record high metal prices and continuing to generate strong returns for our shareholders.
