Latest Gold Projects News

Voltaic Strategic Resources has agreed to acquire five granted Western Australian exploration licences across three gold projects for A$330,000 upfront, with up to A$2 million tied to future Rocky Ridge resource milestones. The deal broadens the explorer’s gold pipeline, but the assets remain at the target-generation stage rather than being defined resources.

PDI Gold has paired a strong September quarter with high-grade drilling beneath its Kiniéro pits, strengthening the case for further resource growth at Guinea’s producing gold operation. The results remain exploration-stage, but the company is preparing a 140,000-metre campaign for 2027.

Capricorn Metals produced 31,218 ounces of gold in the September quarter, while its Karlawinda expansion was completed on schedule and within budget. The enlarged operation is now running at 6.5 million tonnes a year, although the next test is converting that capacity into consistent production and costs.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has identified multiple coherent gold-in-regolith anomalies across the first 225-hole aircore test of its LTZ Flexure target at Pinjin. The strongest exploration signal stretches up to 2km, but primary gold mineralisation at depth remains unconfirmed.

Peregrine Gold has secured $2.25 million through a discounted placement backed by major shareholder Mark Creasy, Lion Selection Group and company directors. The funding is earmarked for maiden drilling and broader gold and iron ore exploration in Western Australia, subject to heritage and Programme of Work approvals.

Patriot Resources has completed 38 surface samples at its Tassa silver-gold project in Peru, where mapping identified a 120-metre breccia interpreted as the upper part of a preserved epithermal system. The company is now moving south into the newly acquired Tassa 5 tenement while its maiden drill permit application progresses.

First Au will acquire six exploration licences in Western Australia’s Ora Banda district for A$150,000 upfront, with a further A$500,000 deferred at the seller’s discretion. The deal expands its Riverina tenure but comes with a A$250,000 drilling commitment and remains subject to completion conditions.

Dynamic Metals will sell its Lady Jane Gold Project to First Au for up to A$650,000 while retaining a 1.5% gross revenue royalty. The buyer must spend at least A$250,000 on direct drilling within two years, or Dynamic can seek to take the project back.

Manuka Resources has received its first gold revenue after restarting processing at the Wonawinta plant in New South Wales. The company expects fortnightly gold revenue of A$3.0 million to A$4.0 million through the end of 2026, although sales remain dependent on the plant reaching steady state.

APC Minerals has replaced its FY2026 annual report after finding a version-control error in the independent auditor’s report. The corrected filing leaves a more consequential warning intact: the explorer needs near-term equity funding to remain a going concern.

Riversgold has lodged the Mine Development and Closure Proposal for its Northern Zone open-pit project near Kalgoorlie, moving the planned mine into its final major approval phase. The project remains conditional on regulatory sign-offs, but MEGA Resources is set to fund development under an extended cooperation agreement.

Flagship Minerals has outlined a conceptual 22 million to 40 million tonne tungsten Exploration Target at its Khao Soon project in southern Thailand. The company is now weighing a sale, spin-out or joint venture for the non-core asset, but the target remains well short of a Mineral Resource.
