Tivan has secured final regulatory and heritage approvals to start maiden drilling at the Walshy’s Wall target within the Sandover Fluorite Project in the Northern Territory, with a staged programme of 31 reverse circulation holes scheduled from October. Walshy’s Wall, a manganese–barite gossan discovered by Tivan geologists in October 2025, will be tested for subsurface continuity and grade using RC to penetrate the weathered profile efficiently. Early results will guide follow-up step-out drilling and resource definition across the broader fluorite–manganese system.

Bellevue Gold is adding two independent non-executive directors, Debra Counsell and Tanya Rybarczyk, to its board from 23 September 2026 as part of a planned succession process for the Western Australian gold producer. Both bring more than 30 years’ experience spanning mining, resources, finance and infrastructure, signalling a stronger governance and capital markets focus as Bellevue ramps up its namesake underground operation. The appointments point to closer board scrutiny of project financing, risk management and long-term growth options in a volatile gold price environment.

Sinclair Gold has passed 20,000 metres of drilling at the Mt Henry Gold Project in Western Australia, triggering the first contingent consideration milestone under its acquisition deal with Westgold Resources. Sinclair has elected to pay Westgold $5 million in cash at this point, rather than use scrip, cancelling the associated royalty and simplifying the project’s future cost structure. The milestone confirms sustained drilling activity at Mt Henry, with implications for resource definition and mine planning in the Norseman region.
