Latest Gold Mining News

G11 Resources has designed three drill holes to test the Northeast Pyrite copper-gold target in western Tasmania, close to the Great Lyell Fault and Mt Lyell deposits. The program may receive up to $120,000 in Tasmanian Government co-funding, but the geological case still rests heavily on unverified historical data.

North Stawell Minerals has extended a steep west-dipping gold-bearing structure at Darlington with a 0.5-metre intercept, though the latest grade is well below nearby high-grade results. The company says the trend remains open at depth and along strike, with further drilling needed to test its potential scale.

Pantoro Gold says Norseman has produced 19,130 ounces quarter-to-date, keeping FY2027 output within reach of its 90,000 to 105,000-ounce target. A second open pit is now delivering ore while Racetrack drilling continues to build a potential future mine source.

Rox Resources has crossed the line from explorer to mine developer, with Youanmi underground mining underway, the processing plant under construction and a target of first gold in mid-2027. The project is financed on paper, but the A$350 million debt package remains subject to conditions precedent and the construction schedule still has to survive execution.

Pan African Resources delivered record FY26 production, earnings and cash generation, moving from net debt to a US$185.7 million net cash position. The gold producer is proposing a record dividend and launching a ZAR500 million buy-back, while warning that FY27 costs will rise as it funds further growth.

Tolu Minerals has increased the Tolukuma gold resource by 81% to 909,000 ounces after four months of full-scale drilling, pushing its reported Papua New Guinea gold inventory above one million ounces. The proposed early 2027 restart now has a larger resource base, but remains dependent on infrastructure, technical work and conversion of resources into mineable reserves.

Meeka Metals has lifted its group Mineral Resource to approximately 1.5 million ounces after adding a maiden 270koz estimate for Mt Holland in Western Australia. The expansion comes with a sharper distinction between exploration potential and mine-ready inventory, as Ore Reserves fell to 355koz after depletion and portfolio changes.

Emerald Resources has secured lender backing for a US$200 million acquisition facility that could expand to US$400 million, while saying its existing cash position will fund the Dingo Range and Memot developments. No acquisition has been announced, but the mandate gives the gold producer a larger pool of capital for future deals.

Unity Metals has identified multiple new gold-anomalous zones across 1,063 metres of trenching at its Ngot and O’Phlay projects in Cambodia. The work also showed that drilling at Ngot NE was poorly oriented to intersect the interpreted mineralisation, setting up a revised drilling campaign.

Auric Mining has acquired second-hand crushing and processing infrastructure for $1.2 million, securing key equipment for its planned Burbanks restart at a substantial discount to estimated replacement cost. The package is scheduled to move from New South Wales in late 2026, with installation preparation targeted for early 2027.

Lunnon Metals has reported strong gold intersections from 36 holes at its Foster-Baker project, including a standout 1 metre at 80.80 g/t gold at Hustler and broader mineralisation at Koombana. The results will feed updated resource models before a scoping study considers whether the two deposits could support future mining alongside a Lady Herial cut-back.

Brightstar Resources will pay A$350,000 for five Panther Metals exploration licences beside its Laverton processing plant, securing ground needed for haul roads, water infrastructure and future tailings capacity. A separate, non-binding deal could also bring Panther’s Burtville East ore through the plant under a 50:50 net proceeds arrangement.
