Sunshine Metals has expanded the Sybil gold system in north Queensland, reporting a standout reverse-circulation intercept of 4m at 11.11g/t gold from 62m at Francis Creek within a 66-hole, 4357m drilling campaign. First-pass drilling at Francis Creek East intersected shallow mineralisation, confirming gold continuity east of the main trend and extending the project’s near-surface footprint. The results support follow-up RC and potential diamond drilling to refine geometry, test depth extensions and upgrade exploration targets to resource status.

WAM Australia is promoting enclosed bulk-handling solutions for mine transfer points using CAO tubular screw feeders and VFS butterfly valves to manage dust, variable flow rates and abrasive ores in tight layouts. The compact tubular screws provide controlled, fully enclosed transfer over short to medium distances, reducing spillage and dust emissions compared with open belts or chutes. Low-maintenance designs with minimal external bearings and sealed housings target reduced downtime in high-duty applications such as crusher feed, mill discharge and load-out spurs.

Forrestania Resources has defined a maiden 223,300-ounce JORC 2012 gold mineral resource at Tampia in Western Australia, comprising 4.6 million tonnes at 1.50g/t gold using a 0.5g/t cut-off. The deposit, located within trucking distance of the recently acquired Edna May processing plant, includes an indicated component suitable for near- to medium-term mine planning and potential open-pit scheduling. For operators, the grade–tonnage profile supports satellite ore feed scenarios and may influence haulage design, stockpile management and plant throughput strategies at Edna May.
