Rokeby Resources has defined a maiden 6,100-ounce Inferred JORC resource at the Maude tailings stockpile in Victoria, adding to a broader 17,497-ounce surface stockpile inventory. The opportunity is shallow and potentially low-capital, but the estimate still rests on historical data, assumed density and incomplete metallurgical evidence.

New Murchison Gold will return approximately $27 million to shareholders through its first fully franked dividend, following a strong first operating period at Crown Prince. The 0.25 cents-per-share payment is backed by reported cash generation and forecast flows from Crown Prince and Cloudkicker.

Brightstar Resources has intersected 173 metres at 1.42g/t gold beneath the current Two Mile Hill-Shillington resource, extending mineralisation into an area not yet included in the estimate. Three more holes are awaiting assays, while a larger 6,500-metre follow-up program is due to begin this month.

Forrestania Resources has signed a 24-month ore purchase agreement with Star Minerals covering up to 400,000 tonnes of gold-bearing ore for processing at Edna May. Haulage is scheduled to begin on 23 October, giving the company an immediate third-party feed opportunity as it advances towards production.

Wiluna Mining is asking investors to fund an $180 million relisting and mine-restart plan after a processing-tank rupture halted its revenue-generating operations. The company delivered a $59.5 million FY26 profit, but its prospectus warns that near-term gold sales are not expected and the restart remains unproven.

Scorpion Minerals has outlined a materially larger open-pit opportunity at Old Prospect, with an optimisation identifying 16,159 ounces of gold from two pits. The result is an early development signal, but it depends on a A$6,000 per ounce gold assumption and is not yet a feasibility study or ore reserve.

Star Minerals has completed mining to 445mRL at Tumblegum South, with mineralised material stockpiled and awaiting transport to the mill. The next test is whether drilling, processing and a cash balance covering an estimated 2.09 quarters can carry the project into production.

Native Mineral Resources has lifted Blackjack’s weekly doré output for a second consecutive week, with the latest 552oz smelt the operation’s largest since August. October production has reached 1,376.2oz, although the newest bars still await Perth Mint refining.

GBM Resources has recorded rougher flotation recoveries of 92% to 99% from composite samples at its Twin Hills Gold Project in Queensland. The early results strengthen the case for conventional processing, although weaker 309 CIL recoveries mean the project’s final flowsheet remains unresolved.

Matsa Resources has received the final A$45 million payment from AngloGold Ashanti for five Lake Carey tenements, completing the transaction. Total payments under the agreement reached A$70.125 million including GST, while AngloGold retains a right of first refusal over Fortitude North until September 2027.

Beacon Minerals lifted September-quarter gold production to 6,250 ounces as milling rates improved at its Jaurdi project. Wet commissioning of a plant upgrade has now begun ahead of schedule, setting up a closely watched December quarter.

Wia Gold has emerged from a pivotal quarter with a 1.95Moz Probable Ore Reserve, A$229.2 million in cash and a proposed US$360 million debt facility supporting its Kokoseb development plan. Construction preparations are advancing, but lender approval, definitive financing documents and Namibian permits remain crucial hurdles before early works can begin.
