Latest Resource Conversion News

Breakthrough Minerals has shifted its centre of gravity to a 952-square-kilometre Queensland copper-gold portfolio, backed by an 18.8Mt JORC resource and early drilling success. The annual report also highlights the constraint: a A$5.69 million loss, ongoing cash burn and material uncertainty over future funding.

Aurum Resources has extended gold mineralisation beyond the current resource at its BST1 deposit, with standout intercepts including 2.63 metres at 76.74 g/t gold and 24 metres at 6.31 g/t. The results will feed into a Boundiali resource update targeted for early Q4 2026 and a definitive feasibility study due late this year.

Caspin Resources has reported its strongest Bygoo tin intersection to date, while early test work points to 83.8% tin recovery into a high-grade concentrate. The gains come with familiar exploration-stage caveats: a $5.70 million annual loss, $5.03 million of operating cash outflow and continued reliance on equity funding.

Legacy Minerals enters FY2027 with a larger Mt Carrington resource, a positive preliminary development study and fresh drilling underway, but the proposed mine still requires substantial funding. The ASX-listed explorer reported a A$1.85 million FY2026 loss and held A$6.07 million in cash at year-end.

Wia Gold has moved Kokoseb from exploration into a proposed mine development backed by a 1.95 million ounce Probable Ore Reserve, A$217 million in equity raised since May and indicative US$360 million debt terms. The funding pathway is substantial, but it still depends on permits, lender approvals and final documentation before construction can fully proceed.

PC Gold’s Spring Hill project emerged from FY2026 with a sharply larger resource, fresh institutional funding and a clearer path towards feasibility studies. The gold explorer remains pre-production and loss-making, but its post-year-end A$75 million raise gives it substantial room to expand drilling and development work.

Tanami Gold has entered FY27 with funding in place for a 3,500-metre underground decline at Groundrush, after raising $70.5 million and reporting a 2.8 million ounce Central Tanami resource. The project remains in the study and resource-definition phase, with no Ore Reserve or production decision yet disclosed.

Solstice Minerals has emerged from FY2026 with a larger exploration story, a A$45.3 million liquidity base and drilling that extends Nanadie beyond its existing resource footprint. The company remains loss-making and pre-production, leaving future value tied to resource growth and exploration execution.

Alma Metals has intersected 383.8 metres at 0.25% copper from just 10.2 metres at its Briggs project, including a higher-grade 76.7-metre zone at 0.34%. The result supports the company’s effort to upgrade parts of the resource ahead of a pre-feasibility study, although the intersection remains a downhole measurement and ended in mineralisation.

Rox Resources is pitching Youanmi as a fully funded, near-term gold producer while outlining an ambition to lift output beyond 150,000 ounces a year. The mine’s initial plan remains materially smaller, with first gold targeted for mid-2027 and average production of about 117,000 ounces a year.

Saturn Metals has extended the Apollo Hill gold system up to 1km north of its existing 2.83Moz Mineral Resource, with several high-grade intersections among the latest results. A 50-hole, 10,000m RC program is now underway to test continuity and support a planned resource update.

Catalyst Metals has converted the Cinnamon underground discovery into a maiden 232koz Ore Reserve, supporting a 7.5-year mine plan at the Plutonic Gold Belt. The deposit’s total Resource has grown 370% to 541koz, although part of the production target still relies on Inferred material.
