Latest Company Announcement
High‑Tech Metals Ltd announced it has secured up to A$177,000 in co‑funding from the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) to support drilling at its 100‑per‑cent Mt Fisher Gold Project. The award covers roughly half of eligible drilling costs. The purpose of the funding is to test the company’s geological model and explore the potential for additional gold mineralisation within the under‑explored Mt Fisher greenstone belt.
The company holds a 1,150 km² landholding across the Mt Fisher–Mt Eureka area and reports a growing resource base of over 200,000 ounces of gold. High‑Tech Metals maintains a solid cash position that supports an aggressive exploration schedule. The company plans to commence the EIS‑supported drilling program in 2027, following detailed planning and logistical arrangements. This drilling activity is part of a broader strategy to expand resources and progress toward near‑term production.

Od6 Metals Update
Od6 Metals Limited announced recent reconnaissance sampling along a 350‑metre corridor between its Blue Bell and Shannon Queen sites. The samples yielded high‑grade fluorspar, with several rock chip assays exceeding 60 % CaF₂ and some approaching 96 %. These results extend known high‑grade mineralisation beyond the original Blue Bell quarry, suggesting broader district‑scale prospects. Od6 highlighted the corridor’s potential to support a hub‑and‑spoke development strategy, where satellite deposits could feed a centralised processing operation. The company plans further mapping, sampling, structural interpretation, and metallurgical testing to evaluate beneficiation options and product pathways. No drilling has yet been undertaken; a maiden drilling program is anticipated in early 2027. The announcement reinforces Od6’s view that its Nevada fluorspar project could become a significant domestic source of this critical mineral.
