Voltaic Secures Full Control of Bundie Bore Tenure in Burnakura Gold Corridor

Voltaic Completes Strategic Tenure Consolidation at Bundie Bore

Voltaic Strategic Resources Limited (ASX:VSR) has snapped up the remaining 20% interest in its Bundie Bore exploration licences, securing full ownership of granted exploration licences E51/1909 and E51/1946 plus prospecting licences P51/3145, P51/3146, and P51/3147. This low-cost acquisition, settled through the issuance of just under 3 million shares valued at A$100,000, consolidates Voltaic’s position within one of Western Australia’s most prolific gold belts.

The licences lie along the Burnakura Shear Zone, a structural corridor hosting significant gold mineralisation and adjacent to Monument Mining’s Burnakura Gold Camp, which boasts historical production of approximately 500,000 ounces. Voltaic’s acquisition captures emerging multi-target gold systems within the Ark and Noa Corridors, which collectively extend over 6 kilometres of prospective strike within the E51/1909 licence.

Emerging Gold Targets Along Ark and Noa Corridors

The Ark and Noa Corridors are viewed by Voltaic as underexplored extensions of the NOA gold system, situated within a district that has historically yielded over 35 million ounces. The company believes that delineating mineralisation across these corridors could significantly enhance the scale potential of its Meekatharra Project, located within trucking distance of established processing infrastructure.

Voltaic’s Chairman, Daniel Raihani, emphasised the transformative nature of the acquisition, noting that it sets the stage for accelerated heritage access negotiations and priority drilling programs targeting these promising corridors. The company is currently engaging with the Yugunga-Nya Aboriginal Heritage Title Corporation to secure necessary heritage clearances before commencing exploration activities.

Next Steps Focus on Heritage Access and Drilling

Following the tenure consolidation, Voltaic plans to submit a Program of Works covering 10 priority domains within the Ark Corridor for exploration. The company’s strategy hinges on fast-tracking heritage approvals to enable drilling campaigns designed to test the multi-target gold system footprint.

This move aligns with Voltaic’s broader approach of acquiring strategic tenure at low cost to enhance exploration optionality, a tactic also seen in its recent lithium tenement acquisitions in Western Australia. The consolidation at Bundie Bore reinforces Voltaic’s commitment to advancing its gold assets alongside its critical metals projects.

Implications for Meekatharra Project and Shareholders

By securing 100% ownership of these licences, Voltaic removes any joint venture complexities and gains full control over exploration decisions and future development potential. The proximity to Monument Mining’s Burnakura Gold Camp adds context to the district’s prospectivity and highlights the strategic value of the acquisition.

While the acquisition cost is modest, the potential upside hinges on successful exploration outcomes along the Ark and Noa Corridors, which remain largely underexplored. The company’s forthcoming drilling results will be critical in validating the presence of economically viable gold mineralisation and unlocking value for shareholders.
