Wia Gold has extended several underground targets at Kokoseb after 18,476 metres of diamond drilling returned broad and high-grade gold intercepts. The results strengthen the geological case for growth beyond the project’s maiden 0.56 million ounce underground inferred resource, although the larger exploration target remains conceptual.

Meeka Metals has begun underground decline development at Fairway, its second mine at the Murchison Gold Project, with first ore targeted for January 2027. The project carries a 50koz initial Ore Reserve, while drilling below the planned mine points to potential reserve growth and a longer mine life.

Astral Resources has more than doubled the Spargoville project’s mineral resource to 281,000 ounces after reinterpreting four deposits and applying a larger optimised pit shell. The update lifts the group’s reported mineral resource to 2.21 million ounces, but remains a resource estimate rather than an ore reserve or production declaration.

Lunnon Metals has returned broad, high-grade gold intersections from the extensions of its recently mined Lady Herial pit, including 16 metres at 9.14 g/t gold. The results will feed an updated resource model and a December scoping study assessing whether a deeper cut-back can work.

Black Cat Syndicate has reported a 9.86-metre gold intercept grading 27.38g/t at the Lynx lode, including 0.60 metres at 186.27g/t, while initial drilling 600 metres away at Raisebore supports a parallel mineralised structure. Neither target has yet been added to Paulsens’ Mineral Resource, leaving further assays and modelling to do before the scale of the discoveries can be quantified.

Ausgold advanced construction, permitting and drilling at its Katanning Gold Project during the September quarter, while its proposed A$776 million takeover by OceanaGold began to reshape the development timetable. The planned end-2026 resource update and final investment decision have both been deferred as shareholders prepare to vote on the scheme.

Cavalier Resources has secured all primary approvals needed to advance Stage 1 mining at its Crawford Gold Project near Leonora. The regulatory milestone shifts attention to funding, site preparation and the finalisation of mining arrangements with SSH Mining.

PC Gold will acquire the last third-party mining leases inside its Spring Hill development area, adding a water licence and operating rights for A$6.5 million. The deal could simplify mine planning and approvals, but still requires Northern Territory ministerial approval and does not add a reported resource.

Everest Metals has converted part of its Mt Dimer gold resource from Inferred into higher-confidence Measured and Indicated categories, while mining has produced a 142,000-tonne stockpile ahead of planned toll treatment. The immediate test is whether that stockpile can become cash flow, while deeper drilling seeks to expand confidence below the current pit.

CZR Resources has proposed spending up to $15 million of existing cash on a share buy-back if its Zuleika Gold takeover succeeds and shareholders approve the plan. The transaction could leave Mark Creasy and associated entities with more than 56% of the combined group if they do not participate.

Barton Gold has completed its 38,760-metre Phase 2 drilling program at Tunkillia with a series of broad, high-grade gold intersections across planned starter pits. The results now feed into an updated gold Resource, followed by a silver update and pre-feasibility study targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

Native Mineral Resources reported a sharp improvement in Q3 CY26 performance at its Blackjack operation, with refined gold outturn rising 84% quarter on quarter to approximately 2,331oz. A further 296.6oz doré smelt offers an early December-quarter data point, although final refinery results remain pending.
