Latest Qmines (ASX:QML) News

QMines has moved its Mt Chalmers copper-gold project into a Definitive Feasibility Study after securing a $15 million strategic package from QIC. The development push comes alongside a larger annual loss, $9.21 million in operating cash outflow and continued reliance on future funding.

QMines has reported a broad 44-metre copper intersection and high-grade zinc-lead-gold-silver mineralisation from six holes at Mt Chalmers. The results support ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study work, while a hole ending in copper mineralisation and upcoming barge drilling add further exploration interest.

Avenira led the week after securing an offtake deal covering more than 80% of expected Wonarah phosphate output. Copper, gold and rare earths explorers also gained, while several companies raised cash to fund drilling or mine construction.

QMines is spending $2.388 million on two freehold properties that remove a key access constraint over the Botos deposit near Mt Chalmers. The acquisition clears the way for modern drilling, but the deposit remains an untested conceptual opportunity rather than a defined resource.

Exploration results, project funding and takeover activity drove another busy week across Australia’s materials market.
Investors rewarded new production plans and strong drill results, but several small-cap gaps quickly lost ground.

QMines Limited reports strong copper and gold intersections from two recent drill holes at Mt Chalmers, reinforcing the project's potential with ongoing drilling and assays.

Rare earths and uranium stocks led a broad resources rally, while gold companies combined record profits with larger reserves and dividends. Yet strong company news did not guarantee a rising share price, with several materials groups falling despite better earnings or project progress.

QMines Limited reported standout copper and gold assay results from two diamond drill holes at Mt Chalmers, surpassing existing resource grades and fueling ongoing feasibility and metallurgical work.

Materials shares delivered another strong week, led by a 60.61% rise at iTech Minerals and major gains across gold, copper and critical minerals.
Investors rewarded fresh drilling results, larger mineral resources, project approvals and new supply agreements, although several heavily sold stocks showed that early buying did not always last.

QMines Limited has boosted the Mount Mackenzie gold and silver resource by 32% in gold ounces, with 70% now classified as Indicated, following a comprehensive 73-hole drilling campaign that enhanced geological confidence and resource scale.

QMines Limited has locked in a $15 million strategic funding package with QIC to fully finance its Mt Chalmers Definitive Feasibility Study, while completing a substantial drilling campaign at Mount Mackenzie and launching a major 10,000m drill program at Mt Chalmers.

Big moves came from small and mid-cap names tied to drilling, project studies and fresh funding. Healthcare, mining and takeover stocks all had a busy week, but not every strong announcement held its gains.
