Its September 2026 quarterly report, released on 26 October 2026, said it had lodged a Mining Lease application over the Capricorn Prospect after identifying auriferous palaeogravels.

Its Quarterly Report for the three months to 30 September 2026, released on 29 October 2026, described a joint venture with WTAC covering a combined potential 3,021 square kilometres of Western Australian ground, subject to pending applications and the completion of the East Scotia acquisition. Test work on one Kookynie sample lifted laboratory gold recovery to 71%, from 52% through direct cyanidation, and scheelite in the gravity concentrate points to a possible tungsten stream.
