5 August 2026 | Northern Territory - New Frontier Minerals has identified a new untested bedrock conductor at its 100%-owned Harts Range Project in the Northern Territory.

The conductor was independently modelled by Southern Geoscience Consultants using Geoscience Australia’s publicly available AusAEM airborne electromagnetic dataset.

New Frontier said the conductor is interpreted to sit approximately 240m below surface within EL34147 and is located around 3.5km south of the Kings Cross target, where the company has already received government approval to commence drilling of a separate magnetic anomaly.

Southern Geoscience concluded the modelled conductor is prospective for copper-nickel mineralisation, giving New Frontier another high-priority exploration target within the Harts Range project area.

5 August 2026 | Western Australia - Westgold Resources has committed to a capital-light expansion of its Cue processing hub, lifting throughput from the current 1.4Mtpa run rate to 1.7Mtpa in FY28.

The Cue Expansion Plan is designed to support increasing underground mine output from Westgold’s Big Bell and Great Fingall mines near Cue, while also creating more flexibility for additional ore sources in the region.

Westgold said the expansion will be delivered by debottlenecking the existing processing circuit rather than building a new plant. The main upgrade involves increasing mill motor power from 2.9MW to 4.2MW through a replacement liquid-cooled motor and variable speed drive, supported by system and pumping upgrades.
