Latest Definitive Feasibility Study News

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.

Aurum Resources has secured A$52.5 million from institutional investors to begin long-lead procurement and other early works at its Boundiali gold project before the definitive feasibility study is complete. The raise strengthens the balance sheet, but also adds 95.45 million shares ahead of two major technical milestones.

Investigator Silver has begun a fully funded 30,000-metre drilling campaign at its Paris Silver Project in South Australia, targeting resource growth and extensions beyond the current mine plan. Assay results will arrive progressively, making the next few months a test of whether recent high-grade hits can translate into a larger, higher-confidence mineral inventory.

Horizon Gold’s annual report presents Gum Creek as a potential 880,000-ounce gold operation, but flags a material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. The company is targeting a Final Investment Decision in Q2 2027 and first gold in the second half of 2028.

PC Gold’s Spring Hill project emerged from FY2026 with a sharply larger resource, fresh institutional funding and a clearer path towards feasibility studies. The gold explorer remains pre-production and loss-making, but its post-year-end A$75 million raise gives it substantial room to expand drilling and development work.

Rox Resources is pitching Youanmi as a fully funded, near-term gold producer while outlining an ambition to lift output beyond 150,000 ounces a year. The mine’s initial plan remains materially smaller, with first gold targeted for mid-2027 and average production of about 117,000 ounces a year.

Anax Metals has moved its Whim Creek copper-zinc project closer to a targeted investment decision, backed by strong feasibility economics and new drilling. But the annual report makes clear that development still depends on securing further funding, with the auditor warning of a material uncertainty over going concern.

Elementos has materially strengthened its balance sheet while moving its Spanish Oropesa tin project closer to permitting, financing and a final investment decision. The annual report also highlights a doubling of Cleveland’s inferred tungsten resource, but both projects still require substantial capital and further approvals.

Advanced Engineered Materials is targeting a sharp increase in high-purity alumina sales while laying the groundwork for a possible doubling of Cap-Chat capacity to 6,000 tonnes per annum. The opportunity is substantial, but much of the customer pipeline remains uncontracted and the expansion still depends on feasibility work, financing and a final investment decision.

Fitzroy River has agreed to sell its long-held Bowdens Silver royalty to Silver Mines for A$17.5 million, including A$7.5 million in Silver Mines shares. The company intends to return the net proceeds to shareholders, but completion remains conditional on funding and regulatory steps.

Wildcat Resources has secured firm commitments for a A$60 million institutional placement to push Tabba Tabba into engineering, site establishment and construction readiness ahead of a definitive feasibility study targeted for later in 2026. The raise strengthens funding, but part of the share issue still requires shareholder approval and the financing does not establish a final investment decision.

VHM's refreshed feasibility study projects an A$807 million pre-tax NPV for its Goschen rare earths and mineral sands project, with approvals and major procurement work substantially advanced. The project still needs financing, lender due diligence and a Final Investment Decision before construction can begin.
