The company reported on Friday a 42 per cent decline year on year in net profit to US$3.3 million for its second quarter ended Aug 31. Revenue for the three months was also lower at US$10 million, compared to US$13 million in the same period a year earlier.

For the first half of its financial year, Fortress Minerals recorded a 33.7 per cent increase in net profit year on year, reaching US$10.5 million. This came as revenue climbed 35.8 per cent to US$27.3 million.

The iron ore concentrate producer said the higher revenue was driven by the higher-than-average realised selling price, underpinned by a robust pricing environment.

The company's auditors highlighted that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the group and company to continue as a going concern.
