Latest Leonora News

Recharge Metals has completed its 100% acquisition of the Ironstone Well Gold Project, expanding its Prospero gold exploration trend near Leonora to more than 15km. The deal lands just as the company prepares to start its first 30,000m drilling campaign at the adjoining Sunset Well project.

Iceni Gold has defined a new drilling corridor at Goose Well after diamond drilling confirmed broad, low-grade gold mineralisation with higher-grade quartz veins near the Gander Fault. The company is also preparing for a Gold Fields-funded 7,000m RC campaign at Everleigh, with results expected from December.

Cavalier Resources has secured all primary approvals needed to advance Stage 1 mining at its Crawford Gold Project near Leonora. The regulatory milestone shifts attention to funding, site preparation and the finalisation of mining arrangements with SSH Mining.

Metal Hawk’s Leinster South project produced its strongest drilling results yet, led by a 9-metre intersection grading 12.3g/t gold at the Numbat lode. But the FY26 annual report also flags a material uncertainty over going concern, despite a subsequent $1.2 million placement.

Vault Minerals has cleared another procedural hurdle in its proposed Genesis Minerals merger, with ASIC registering the scheme booklet ahead of the 11 November shareholder vote. Independent expert BDO says the deal is fair, reasonable and in shareholders’ best interests, provided no superior offer emerges.

Recharge Metals ended FY2026 with $5.61 million in cash after a $5.97 million capital raise and the acquisition of the Sunset Well gold project. The explorer now faces a sharper test: whether drilling can turn Prospero’s 94,500-ounce inferred resource and its broader exploration portfolio into something more substantial.

Nico Resources is advancing drilling, metallurgical studies and a potential downstream battery-materials partnership at Wingellina, despite a subdued nickel market and a larger annual loss. The company ended FY2026 with $4.73 million across cash and short-term investments after raising $3.73 million in equity.

Augustus Minerals has reported broad gold mineralisation at its Clifton East prospect in Western Australia, including a 1m interval grading 19.5g/t gold. The explorer’s FY2026 loss narrowed, but continued drilling remains dependent on further equity funding.

CGN Resources has expanded its exploration footprint across gold and copper, but the annual report pairs that growth with a material going-concern uncertainty. The company ended FY2026 with $2.11 million in cash against $1.99 million of operating cash outflows.

Evergold Minerals has reported a sharply smaller FY2026 loss and a stronger cash position after completing its shift from lithium to gold exploration. The company now has $4.0 million in cash and $4.8 million invested in Western Australian exploration assets, but remains dependent on drilling success and future funding.

Mt Malcolm Mines has identified four copper-gold exploration targets across its Malcolm Project, led by selective Braiser rock chips grading up to 1.37% copper. The broader target inventory is promising but remains early-stage, with no new drilling completed and most geochemical signals still awaiting laboratory verification.

CGN Resources has intersected gold at three of four targets in its maiden Christmas Well RC program, with Rocky Mountain Oyster returning the strongest result in fresh rock. The early-stage campaign supports follow-up drilling, but does not yet establish a mineral resource or confirm true widths.
