Latest Larvotto Resources (ASX:LRV) News

Larvotto Resources has unveiled a substantial initial Exploration Target for the Midas Lode at its Hillgrove project, outlining a preferred 3.95 million tonnes at 5.16 g/t gold equivalent, accessible from surface and underground for near-term development.

A brutal sell-off in a few small caps sat alongside takeover bids, fresh capital raisings and strong gains in medtech. The week split the market in two: buyers chased clear funding and approval news, while weaker stories sank fast after reopening.

Big price swings hit the materials board as deal news, capital raisings and resource updates pulled stocks in opposite directions. Gold M&A stayed busy, while critical minerals names kept feeding the market with drilling, testwork and project studies.

Larvotto Resources is set to acquire Hammer Metals in a $54 million all-scrip deal, expanding its Mt Isa copper portfolio to over 530,000 tonnes of copper equivalent and backed by a $15 million strategic placement from Glencore.

Larvotto Resources has secured a binding seven-year gold concentrate offtake agreement with global giant Glencore for its Hillgrove project, complementing an existing antimony deal and paving the way for production in August 2026.

Capital raisings, resource updates and Medicare news drove the week’s biggest share moves. The sharpest gains came from silver and tungsten juniors, while the heaviest fall came from a deeply discounted equity raising.

Larvotto Resources’ initial flotation testwork on 1.4 million tonnes of Hillgrove tailings shows up to 95% antimony and 75% gold recoveries, unlocking potential metal inventory and environmental rehabilitation benefits ahead of production start in August 2026.

Larvotto Resources has hit a key operational milestone with first ore delivered from its Metz underground mine to surface stockpiles at Hillgrove, maintaining schedule and budget ahead of plant commissioning in August 2026.

Larvotto Resources has identified a significant high-grade gold-antimony-tungsten mineralised system at Curry’s Block, with diamond drilling approved to test extensions. Tungsten’s critical mineral status and record prices add strategic weight to the project’s near-mine growth potential.

Gold stories drove the week, but the biggest jumps came from drill hits and project studies that gave investors a reason to chase smaller names. At the larger end, merger activity and fresh funding kept attention on producers that want to get bigger, faster.

Larvotto Resources extends high-grade gold-antimony-tungsten mineralisation at its Metz Mining Centre, with the Midas Gully lode now stretching over 700m and open at depth, supported by new geophysical data.

Larvotto Resources is progressing the Hillgrove Antimony-Gold Project on time and budget, aiming for mid-2026 production amid rising strategic demand for antimony. The project benefits from grid power, ongoing drilling success, and government support for critical minerals.
