Latest Project Economics News

Barton Gold’s latest Phase 2 drilling at Tunkillia delivers broad, high-grade gold intersections in the southern Area 223 open pit, reinforcing the project’s strong economic potential ahead of a planned Pre-Feasibility Study completion in early 2027.

Antipa Minerals’ latest Pre-Feasibility Study update reveals strong metallurgical results with gold recoveries up to 98% and improved geotechnical parameters that could reduce underground mining at Minyari Dome.

Lakes Blue Energy is positioning its Wombat Gas Project as a key contributor to Victoria's energy security and emerging AI infrastructure, with a conceptual study projecting a post-tax NPV10 of A$605 million and first gas in early 2029.

Norwest Minerals updates its Bulgera Gold Project resource estimate to 191,000 ounces within an optimised open-pit shell, underpinning a promising heap leach development pathway with strong metallurgical recoveries.

Boab Metals has begun dismantling the DeGrussa processing plant to relocate it to Sorby Hills, with first silver-lead concentrate production targeted for the second half of 2027. Key infrastructure is progressing ahead of schedule, and an updated Project Delivery Plan will reflect higher silver prices and extended mine life.

Godolphin Resources’ mineralogical study at Lewis Ponds reveals talc dilution in lead concentrate, proposing a pre-flotation step that could double lead grade and boost precious metals recovery.

Legacy Minerals has engaged WSP Global to update its Mt Carrington Mineral Resource Estimate, aiming to boost silver ounces, copper tonnes, and resource confidence ahead of a scoping study optimisation.

Euro Manganese has filed comprehensive NI 43-101 and JORC reports for its Chvaletice Manganese Project, confirming robust economics with a base case post-tax NPV of US$492 million and an upside scenario pushing NPV to US$798 million, driven by higher manganese prices.

Ore Resources has accelerated its lithium exploration and development at Coolgardie with diamond and RC drilling programs, alongside advancing economic studies and permitting efforts.

Nova Minerals has achieved gold recoveries exceeding 95% from low-grade Korbel ore using coarse particle flotation, producing concentrates up to 26.7 g/t Au. This breakthrough could cut costs and unlock more of the resource in its Alaska Estelle project.

Lefroy Exploration has launched a scoping study for its Mt Martin Gold Project, following an updated resource estimate of 460,000 ounces. The study, funded by a recent $3.6 million placement, aims to assess development options by September 2026 while mining operations at Lucky Strike prepare to resume.

Temas Resources' re-assay program at the Hervieux West deposit validates extensive high-grade titanium-vanadium mineralisation and reveals significant gallium, scandium, and chromium credits, accelerating resource development at the La Blache Project.
