High-Tech Metals has signed a binding agreement that could allow up to 400,000 tonnes of Mt Fisher ore to be processed through Forrestania Resources’ nominated facility over 24 months. The deal creates a potential route to monetisation, but mining remains unapproved and the tonnage is a contractual ceiling rather than a production forecast.

Forrestania Resources has secured preferential access to up to 400,000 tonnes of gold-bearing ore from High-Tech Metals’ Mt Fisher project under a 24-month binding agreement. The deal expands a third-party feed pipeline ahead of Forrestania’s targeted December restart of processing at Edna May, although volumes, timing and financial contribution remain uncommitted.

Great Boulder Resources has completed more than 57,000 metres of drilling across Peak Hill and Side Well during the September quarter, with high-grade results supporting potential resource growth. The ASX-listed explorer ended the period with A$12.3 million in cash and no debt as it works towards a Peak Hill resource update by year-end.

OceanaGold’s proposed acquisition of Ausgold has cleared a key Australian regulatory hurdle, with FIRB confirming it has no objection to the scheme. Shareholder approval, court approval and other conditions still stand between the transaction and completion.

Matsa Resources has reported a $39.4 million FY2026 loss, negative net assets and a $28 million operating cash outflow after Devon operated at a loss and was suspended following a contractor dispute. A $55 million AngloGold tenement sale offers a potential liquidity reset, but the annual report says material uncertainty remains over the group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Aurum Resources has expanded its Boundiali Mineral Resource by 19% to 3.84Moz, with Indicated Resources rising 37% to 2.33Moz after infill drilling. The Ore Reserve remains unchanged for now, leaving the late-2026 DFS and mining licence approvals as the next major tests.

Saturn Metals has secured the key mining lease for its 2.83Moz Apollo Hill project, lodged its environmental review and kept its definitive feasibility study on track for the December quarter. The company ended September with $110.7 million in cash, although a further $39.79 million placement tranche remains subject to FIRB approval.

Barton Gold has more than doubled the reported Challenger underground resource to 230koz of gold at 3.65 g/t, lifting its combined Challenger and Tarcoola resource base to about 400koz. The upgrade strengthens the case for a restart built around the permitted Central Gawler Mill, although most of the new underground ounces remain Inferred and are not Ore Reserves.

Native Mineral Resources has produced its largest Blackjack doré smelt since operations began, with internal assays pointing to approximately 580oz of contained gold. The result puts October refined gold outturn on track for 1,300oz to 1,400oz, although Perth Mint confirmation is still pending.

Brightstar Resources has secured A$82 million to accelerate exploration and early development work at Sandstone, where Two Mile Hill is emerging as a potential cornerstone asset.

Reach Resources has identified shallow, higher-grade gold zones in grade control drilling at the proposed NW Pit, including 2 metres at 24.6 g/t Au within a broader 7-metre interval grading 7.5 g/t Au. The results largely support the existing resource model while pointing to additional grade and width that could influence mine scheduling.
