Latest Ore Supply News

Forrestania Resources has secured preferential access to up to 400,000 tonnes of gold-bearing ore from High-Tech Metals’ Mt Fisher project under a 24-month binding agreement. The deal expands a third-party feed pipeline ahead of Forrestania’s targeted December restart of processing at Edna May, although volumes, timing and financial contribution remain uncommitted.

Antimony Resources has moved its Tecomatlán plant into its first plant-scale antimony concentrate campaign, but reported only 0.9 quarters of funding at September’s cash burn. The campaign could provide the company’s first operating proof point, while also sharpening the need for additional financing or commercial revenue.

Pantoro Gold delivered 21,864 ounces from Norseman in the September quarter, while cash and gold rose to $240 million despite $36.3 million of project and exploration spending. Underground staffing recovered, Green Lantern began mining and Racetrack drilling returned further high-grade results.

Forrestania Resources has signed a 24-month ore purchase agreement with Star Minerals covering up to 400,000 tonnes of gold-bearing ore for processing at Edna May. Haulage is scheduled to begin on 23 October, giving the company an immediate third-party feed opportunity as it advances towards production.

Antimony Resources has moved closer to first production in Mexico, but its FY2026 annual report carries a material going-concern warning after a A$7.0 million loss and sharply reduced cash reserves. The company now faces the harder test of turning its Tecomatlán plant and Los Lirios project into cash-generating operations.

Quantum Graphite has moved Uley 2 into front-end engineering and design, renewed key mining leases and formalised its downstream structure with Sunlands Pure Group. But the company ended FY2026 with just $210,710 in cash, $10.50 million in borrowings and an auditor-documented material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Cobre Limited (ASX:CBE) says its Sierra Atacama turnaround delivered a first cash-positive quarter, higher recovery and 879 tonnes of copper cathode production. The company remains loss-making at group level, but enters FY27 with more cash, a larger project stake and an ambitious drilling and expansion programme.

Talisman Mining’s Sheepyard prospect has emerged as the company’s clearest exploration opportunity after drilling outlined shallow gold mineralisation across an unconstrained 800-metre strike. But the annual report also shows a shrinking royalty income stream, a $2.705 million loss and fresh reliance on equity funding.

Evolution Mining has set out a capital-heavy FY27 strategy, combining a record fully franked 41 cents per share dividend with major spending across Cowal, Northparkes and Ernest Henry. The miner also plans to lift exploration and maintain gold and copper guidance, though much of the production upside remains several years away.

Native Mineral Resources has produced 340.9 ounces of doré in its latest Blackjack smelt, while more than 815,000 tonnes of material has been moved across two active pits. The latest bars still require assay and refinery results before their gold contribution is known.

Cobre has secured two ore supply agreements that could add about 300 tonnes of copper cathode a month from Q4 2026, without changing its existing production guidance. The deal is designed to lift utilisation of the under-used Sierra Atacama plant while the company transitions from underground to open-pit mining in 2027.

Forrestania Resources has secured a framework to purchase and process up to 2 million tonnes of third-party ore while locking in key laboratory, haulage and reagent arrangements for its Lake Johnston and Edna May hubs. The agreements strengthen restart preparation, although financial terms, margins and delivery timing remain undisclosed.
