The GGP share price rose 5.17% on the day, and 72.74% in the last year. GGP hit a new high of A$12.70 during trading today, before closing at A$12.61. This surge coincides with gold prices surpassing $4,600 USD per ounce for the first time, currently sitting at $4,585.42 per ounce, reflecting a 6.96% gain over the past month.
The company reported strong production figures for the December 2025 quarter, with 86,273 ounces of gold and 3,528 tonnes of copper produced, representing respective increases of 6.7% and 4.8% compared to the previous quarter.

Analyst opinions present a mixed outlook. Citigroup recently raised its price target for Greatland Gold (LON:GGP) to GBX 675, maintaining a ‘buy’ rating. Conversely, RBC Capital initiated coverage with a ‘Sector Perform’ rating and a price target of AUD 7.70, citing concerns about medium-term production uncertainties due to the short Telfer Reserve, while acknowledging potential resource extensions. The average price target for the stock remains at A$10.65.
BlackRock Group ceased being a substantial shareholder in Greatland Resources as of December 16, 2025. This divestment could introduce uncertainty, but the impact on share price appears limited due to strong production results and favorable gold market conditions.
