About Mineral Resources Ltd

Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) has staged one of the most closely watched recoveries on the ASX, and fund managers remain split on what comes next. In July 2026, Alphinity Investment Management rated the miner a buy, citing a dramatic reduction in leverage helped by resilient iron ore prices, stronger lithium prices and solid delivery at Onslow Iron. Maple-Brown Abbott took the opposite view, rating it a sell on concerns about low-grade iron ore exposure, lithium prices and corporate governance. Mineral Resources operates in the Materials sector within the Metals and Mining industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 86 comments from 21 fund managers, including Alphinity, Maple-Brown Abbott, L1 Capital and Pendal Group. Founded in 2006 by Chris Ellison and headquartered in Perth, Mineral Resources operates across mining services, iron ore, lithium and energy.
