Latest Gold Projects News

Great Boulder Resources has used FY2026 to make the leap from gold explorer toward producer, acquiring Peak Hill and securing a 481,000-ounce resource alongside its 1.02 million-ounce Side Well project. The strategic shift came with a A$9.93 million loss, a heavily expanded share count and a clear near-term test: whether 40,000 metres of drilling can support development by late 2027.

Bellavista Resources is advancing a 15,000-metre drilling campaign and early development studies at Pickle Crow, while assay results have been pushed into October after Canadian laboratory delays. At Brumby, continuity drilling is complete and CSIRO column leach testwork is being prepared.

FireFly Metals has turned a year of aggressive drilling into a substantially larger, higher-confidence Green Bay resource, backed by an August PEA and fresh funding. The next test is execution: feasibility, permits, construction decisions and the capital required to build a mine.

Carnavale Resources is approaching the final stretch of its bankable feasibility study for the 80%-owned Kookynie Gold Project, backed by a 120,000-ounce resource and strong metallurgical recoveries. The project still requires financing, a toll-treatment agreement and final economic modelling before it can move from promising study to mine development.

Dreadnought Resources has sharply reduced its FY2026 loss while building a larger exploration portfolio and advancing two high-grade gold deposits toward potential production. The ASX-listed explorer ended the year with $15.7 million in cash, but remains dependent on funding until operating income arrives.

Skylark Minerals has pushed its Côte d’Ivoire gold strategy forward, with M’Basso now extending across about 2km of strike. But the annual report also highlights a material uncertainty over funding, after the company ended the year with A$4.85 million in cash and a A$3.01 million loss.

Empire Resources has identified four magnetic anomalies and prioritised two for drilling at its renamed Bradley Well project in Western Australia. Historical copper intercepts provide geological clues, but the targets remain untested and drilling timing depends on rig availability.

Eastern Resources has placed its Queensland Marengo Gold Project at the centre of its exploration strategy after 54 of 60 rock-chip samples returned more than 0.1 ppm gold, including a peak of 12.3 ppm. The company remains an early-stage explorer, with no JORC Mineral Resource yet defined and A$3.27 million in cash at year-end.

Nexus Minerals has more than doubled the Wallbrook Gold Project’s Mineral Resource to 631,000oz, adding maiden resources at Payns and Branches. Combined with Pinnacles, group resources now stand at 709,000oz, although most Wallbrook ounces remain Inferred and no Ore Reserve has been defined.

Marquee Resources has received a $549,122 R&D tax refund, adding non-dilutive cash ahead of planned drilling at its Yindi Lithium and Gold Project in Western Australia. The filing improves near-term financial flexibility but does not disclose the company’s post-refund cash balance or drilling budget.

Altair Minerals has secured an exclusive option over eight permits adjoining its South Oko project in Guyana, adding 29km2 and lifting exposure to the Oko Shear Contact to about 18km of strike. The deal expands exploration optionality, but ownership remains subject to due diligence, staged payments and a future exercise decision.

Albright Metals will surrender its Gabanintha mineral rights to Australian Vanadium in return for $1.75 million, a 0.75% royalty and a sharper focus on its Canadian flagship. The package includes $500,000 in cash and $1.25 million of Australian Vanadium shares, although the final share count is yet to be determined.
