$210 Million Deal Revives Major Copper–Gold Project in South Australia

A major funding agreement is breathing new life into one of South Australia’s most significant undeveloped mineral deposits. Kalkaroo, located about 400 kilometres north of Adelaide, holds one of Australia’s largest copper–gold resources and has been in the planning stages for years without moving into full development.

Havilah’s Long-Standing Project Gains Momentum

Owned by Havilah Resources, the Kalkaroo project has remained idle as the company sought the right partner to progress the orebody toward production. Despite its size and potential, the project has not advanced to mine construction, and the remote landscape shows no surface infrastructure or open-pit activity.

Sandfire Commits up to $210 Million

A new agreement with Sandfire Resources is now set to accelerate the next phase. Sandfire has committed up to $210 million under an earn-in structure, including funding for fresh drilling aimed at upgrading and expanding the resource base. The plan includes a new pre-feasibility study and thousands of metres of drilling to better define the deposit.

Could Kalkaroo Finally Become a Mine?

The substantial investment marks the most serious step toward development the project has seen in years. If the drilling program confirms its potential and the study demonstrates economic viability, Kalkaroo could progress toward becoming one of the next major copper–gold mines in the region.

Industry observers say the deal signals growing confidence in South Australia’s copper future, especially as demand for copper continues to rise globally.

$BOE $100 Million Uranium Restart Near Broken Hill

Boss Energy has restarted the Honeymoon uranium mine in South Australia, more than a decade after the project was placed on care and maintenance. The site sits around 80 kilometres north of Broken Hill and was previously shut down in 2013 when uranium prices were too low to support operations.

New Technology Behind the Revival

As part of the restart, Boss Energy replaced the old solvent-extraction processing circuit with a modern ion-exchange plant designed to improve efficiency and lower operating costs. The company also developed new in-situ recovery wellfields to support long-term production.

A Rebuild Costing Well Over $100 Million

The restart and expansion program has required an investment exceeding $100 million, covering plant upgrades, new drilling, and expansion infrastructure. The company’s ramp-up has progressed quickly, with Honeymoon now producing uranium at its highest rates since reopening.

Favourable Market Conditions

The revival comes as global uranium demand strengthens and prices rise toward decade highs, driven by renewed interest in nuclear energy and concerns over fuel supply security. Higher prices have improved project economics, raising the question of whether Boss Energy has timed the restart perfectly.

A Strategic Play for Australia’s Energy Future

If production continues to scale as expected, Honeymoon could become a key Australian supplier of uranium, contributing to both export markets and the global shift toward low-emissions energy sources.

Cloncurry’s Historic Copper Mine Fires Back Up

Cloncurry, one of Australia’s oldest copper towns, is seeing renewed activity as True North Copper restarts operations at the historic Great Australia Mine. The site, which has been idle for several years, is once again becoming a key focus for regional development.

Fresh Drilling Confirms New Mineralisation

Recent drilling programs have confirmed copper, gold and cobalt still sitting beneath the old workings. These results underpin the company’s confidence in restarting production and extending the life of the operation.

A Major Recapitalisation Brings the Mine Back Online

True North Copper completed a significant recapitalisation to stabilise the business and rebuild operations. This financial restructuring allowed the company to revive the project and invest in the early stages of production.

Copper Prices Add Strength to the Restart

The restart comes during a period of strong copper markets, with rising demand from renewable energy, electrification and global infrastructure spending. Higher prices have helped improve the outlook for new and returning producers.

Outback Revival on the Horizon?

With fresh drilling success, new investment and a strengthened market, Cloncurry’s copper industry may be entering a new phase. For a town built on more than a century of mining, the Great Australia Mine’s return could signal the start of a broader outback revival.

Australia Fast-Tracks Major Niobium Discovery

One of the world’s most significant niobium discoveries is now being pushed forward in remote Western Australia, after the Federal Government granted major project status to WA1 Resources’ Luni project.

Located in the West Arunta region, the project contains over 200 million tonnes of high-grade niobium- and phosphorus-rich material — described by WA1 as the biggest niobium discovery in 70 years.

Why Niobium Matters

Niobium is a strategic critical mineral used to strengthen high-performance steel, particularly in pipelines, automotive components and major construction.
It is also essential in jet engine superalloys, superconducting magnets, electronics, and other advanced technologies.

The scale of Luni gives Australia a rare opportunity to expand its role in the global supply of this specialised metal, which is currently dominated by Brazil.

A Key Step in Strengthening Supply Chains

The major project status designation signals Canberra’s view of Luni as a development with national economic and strategic importance.
WA1 says the recognition highlights Luni’s potential to support regional jobs, bolster sovereign capability, and contribute to Australia’s growing critical-minerals export sector.

As studies progress, Luni is shaping up as one of the country’s most important new mineral projects — and a rare moment of global significance for the niobium industry.

Why Bet $80 Million on This Gold Mine?

Genesis Minerals is accelerating work at Tower Hill — a major gold deposit just outside Leonora in Western Australia — as the company moves closer to full-scale development. With gold prices trading near record highs, the project has quickly become one of WA’s most-watched growth stories.

Shifting the Rail to Unlock the Pit

One of the most significant steps is the plan to relocate the nearby rail line. This allows Genesis to expand the mill and open up the full extent of the Tower Hill pit — something previous owners couldn’t realistically do. The move clears the way for a larger, more efficient operation tied directly into Genesis’ Leonora production hub.

High-Grade Hits Continue

Recent drilling around Tower Hill has returned consistent high-grade intercepts, strengthening confidence in the resource and supporting plans for a much larger mine footprint. These results also feed into an expanded underground study now underway.

A New Gold Hub in the Making?

With planned capital spending around the $80 million mark, a strong gold market, and a district-scale strategy connecting multiple deposits, investors are watching closely. If the development plan lands as expected, Tower Hill could become WA’s next major gold success story — and a key pillar in Genesis Minerals’ Leonora growth plans.
