  • Ora Banda Mining Soars 915% in 3 Years, Outperforming ASX 200 Gold Stocks
    May 23, 2026, 10:20 AM EDT. If an investor had put $10,000 into Ora Banda Mining Ltd (ASX: OBM) three years ago, those shares would be worth $101,538 today, a 915.4% gain. This outperformance eclipses the ASX 200's 20.9% return over the same period. Ora Banda joined the ASX 200 in December 2025, reflecting its rapid growth. The gold price's 133% rise in three years, reaching US$4,527 an ounce, provided a strong tailwind. Ora Banda's half-year results in FY 2026 showed 80% revenue growth to $336.3 million, a 106% increase in EBITDA to $173.2 million, and an 89% jump in net profit after tax to $96.3 million. The miner plans to double gold production over three years under its 'Drive to 300' initiative, aiming for sustainable long-term growth, though achieving this remains uncertain.
