Barton Gold Joins ASX All Ordinaries, Eyes 150,000oz Annual Output

Barton Gold’s Market Milestone

Barton Gold Holdings Limited has officially joined the ranks of Australia’s 500 largest publicly traded companies with its inclusion in the S&P Dow Jones ASX All Ordinaries Index. This index membership, effective from 22 September 2025, reflects Barton’s growing market capitalization and investor confidence in its strategic direction.

The All Ordinaries Index is a key benchmark for Australian equities, representing a broad cross-section of the market. Barton’s addition signals recognition of its progress as a gold developer and positions it for greater visibility among institutional investors and index-tracking funds.

Advancing South Australian Gold Projects

At the heart of Barton’s growth story is its district-scale gold production platform in South Australia. The company is accelerating development programs with a clear timeline, initial operations at the Central Gawler Mill are targeted by the end of 2026. This mill is a critical asset, being the region’s only gold processing facility, and underpins Barton’s production ambitions.

Simultaneously, Barton plans to complete a Pre-Feasibility study and submit a Mining Lease application for the Tunkillia Gold Project by the same timeframe. This project is central to Barton’s long-term production target of 150,000 ounces of gold per annum, a significant output that would elevate its standing in the Australian gold sector.

Robust Mineral Resource Base

Barton’s portfolio includes 2.2 million ounces of gold and 3.1 million ounces of silver in JORC-compliant Mineral Resources, spread across several projects such as Challenger, Tarcoola, Tunkillia, and Wudinna. The company’s strategy leverages these resources alongside fully permitted mining operations and exploration upside, particularly in the Gawler Craton region.

Managing Director Alexander Scanlon emphasized the milestone as a testament to the team’s dedication and the company’s strategic execution. He highlighted the index inclusion as just the beginning of Barton’s journey to build shareholder value and contribute to South Australia’s mining sector.

Looking Ahead

While the inclusion in the All Ordinaries Index enhances Barton’s market profile, the company faces the critical task of delivering on its operational targets. The next 12 to 18 months will be pivotal as it advances feasibility studies, regulatory approvals, and initial production ramp-up. Investors will be watching closely to see how Barton manages these milestones amid fluctuating commodity prices and broader market conditions.
