Latest Medallion Metals (ASX:MM8) News

Medallion Metals has confirmed high-grade historical gold mineralisation at the Lounge Lizard deposit within its newly acquired Forrestania Gold Project, setting the stage for a maiden resource estimate targeted for the third quarter of 2026.

Small caps stole the week, led by a big funding deal in gold and two revenue breakouts. Meanwhile, some well-known names slid after profit updates failed to calm nerves on costs and outlooks.

Rare earths and gold dominated the tape, with one small-cap rare earth explorer ripping more than 70% on a single drilling headline. Gold producers, meanwhile, kept turning high bullion prices into dividends, buy-backs and bigger balance sheets.

Medallion Metals has completed its acquisition of the Forrestania Nickel Operation from IGO Limited, transforming it into a key gold processing hub as the company advances its development strategy in Western Australia.

Medallion Metals Limited has extended the deadline for its acquisition of the Forrestania Nickel Operation from IGO Limited, with completion expected by 27 February 2026. The transaction remains on track despite a few outstanding conditions.

Small caps stole the spotlight, with a handful of stocks doubling on deal news and early-stage project updates. Large miners were steadier, but even they couldn’t fully escape the week’s sharp gap moves.

Medallion Metals has secured a US$50 million loan and a copper-gold concentrate offtake agreement with Trafigura, enabling the Final Investment Decision for the Ravensthorpe Gold Project. Development is set to begin pending completion of the Forrestania acquisition.

A single exploration name blew the doors off the leaderboard, while two well-known uranium plays and a Nevada explorer sank hard. Behind the noise: deals got closer to completion, big raisings reset prices, and several “good news” gaps didn’t survive the week.

A single drill program in WA delivered a once-a-year spike, while several small caps fell hard after reopening with price gaps. This week also saw big money raised for gold and uranium builds, and a run of resource upgrades across critical minerals.

Medallion Metals has obtained the crucial environmental green light under the EPBC Act for its Ravensthorpe Gold Project, significantly reducing permitting risks and positioning the company to advance its sulphide production plans.

Small caps did the heavy lifting this week, led by two big discovery stories in resources. Funding raises and takeover moves kept attention on who can pay for the next step, not just promise it.

Speculative money piled into new discoveries and tight-supply metals, while a handful of small caps were sold hard on thin liquidity. The week’s biggest moves came from PGMs and tungsten on the way up, and micro-cap gas on the way down.
