About the company

Neometals is an ASX-listed company whose main asset is the Barrambie Gold and Copper Project in Western Australia. The company is developing the Ironclad deposit through a capital-efficient pathway using a mining services joint venture with contractor BML Ventures.

Updated Mineral Resource released on 5 November 2026

The updated Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource is estimated at about 250,000 tonnes at 3.9 grams per tonne gold for 31,000 ounces, reported above a 0.5 gram per tonne cut-off and constrained within an A$6,500 per ounce optimised pit. The Indicated component is 100,000 tonnes at 2.5 grams per tonne, and the Inferred component is 150,000 tonnes at 4.8 grams per tonne.

The company said the increase in grade from the March 2026 estimate reflects additional drilling and a change in how stockwork mineralisation is interpreted. No ore reserves or production targets are reported.

Development pathway

The Mining Services Joint Venture Agreement with BML Ventures is expected to lead to final approval documents being lodged in December 2026, following a native title agreement authorisation meeting scheduled in November.

Sector Context

Gold resource developers in Western Australia often rely on contract mining arrangements to reduce Capital requirements. The gold price used in pit optimisation is a key assumption for resource scope.

Risks to Consider

No ore reserves have been declared, and the resource estimate does not include production forecasts.
Final approval documents for the joint venture depend on the native title agreement authorisation meeting.
The resource uplift relies on updated interpretation of stockwork mineralisation.

What to Watch Ahead

The native title agreement authorisation meeting scheduled for November 2026.
Lodgement of final approval documents for the BML joint venture in December 2026.
Progress toward Ore Reserve estimation and development studies.

Final Word

Neometals' updated Ironclad estimate more than doubles the total ounces reported at the project. Approvals for the mining services joint venture will be the next key step in the development pathway.
