18 May 2026 | Western Australia - Ora Banda Mining has announced a major growth push at its Davyhurst Gold Project, approving key projects aimed at supporting its new “DRIVE to 300” aspiration.

The company has approved construction of a new standalone 3.0Mtpa processing plant at Davyhurst, with the project expected to lift combined nameplate milling capacity to 4.2Mtpa when added to the existing 1.2Mtpa Davyhurst mill.

The new plant forms part of Ora Banda’s broader plan to build a larger, lower-cost and more flexible gold business in Western Australia. The company has estimated total capital expenditure for the expansion at A$375 million, including an expected A$233 million EPC contract with GR Engineering Services, which has been appointed preferred contractor.

13 May 2026 | Western Australia - Tungsten Mining NL has commenced on-site preparation works at its 100%-owned Mt Mulgine Project in Western Australia, ahead of a major RC and diamond drilling program at the Mulgine Trench deposit.

The company said current site activities include drill pad preparation, surveying, drill hole mark-out, support infrastructure groundworks, site access preparation and safety work required before drilling can begin.

The planned RC drilling campaign will include 130 holes for 40,000 metres at Mulgine Trench. The program is designed to test the continuity of extensions beneath the 2020 Mineral Resource Estimate, targeting an additional 80 metres to 160 metres down-dip. Assay results are expected to be released periodically, approximately six weeks after drilling commences.
