About the company

Bubalus Resources is a Perth-based exploration company listed on the ASX. Its existing portfolio includes the Wilson's Hill Gold Project in Victoria, held under option, the Nolans East rare earth project and the Amadeus manganese and gallium project in the Northern Territory, the Yinnietharra lithium project and the Coomarie heavy rare earths project in Western Australia.

Quarterly activities report released on 29 October 2026

Bubalus reported exploration and evaluation expenditure of $32,000 for the quarter. Net operating cash outflow was $135,000, and cash on hand was $2.76 million at 30 September 2026. Payments to related parties totalled $69,000 for directors’ fees and exploration consulting services. The company had 536 shareholders and 69,888,008 ordinary shares on issue at 30 September 2026.

A low-impact exploration proposal including three new diamond drilling locations has been submitted for approval at the Wilson’s Hill Gold Project in Victoria. Approval and land access remain subject to heritage and reserve considerations, and the timing of any drilling is uncertain.

Skyline Acquisition and funding

After the quarter ended, Bubalus signed a binding agreement to acquire the Skyline Copper-Gold Project in western Tasmania. Completion remains subject to Shareholder approval at a general meeting and the satisfaction of other conditions precedent. The company also announced a further $3.0 million capital raising to support the acquisition, which is subject to shareholder approval.

Bubalus said it continues to hold each of its existing projects, and is reviewing the priority and funding of those projects alongside Skyline. No decision has been made to dispose of or withdraw from any of them.

Existing project activity

At Nolans East in the Northern Territory, the company has a drilling program approved and is pursuing an updated land access agreement with the pastoral leaseholder, which is required following a change of ownership. At Amadeus, previous work identified gallium anomalism of up to 260 ppm, and the next phase of field programs is in preparation.

Sector Context

Exploration companies in Australia are closely tied to Commodity prices and the availability of capital for drilling programs. Bubalus’s focus during the quarter on gold, copper and critical minerals reflects its assessment of opportunities in these areas, and its Victorian gold projects are held under option rather than owned outright.

Risks to Consider

  • Completion of the Skyline acquisition depends on shareholder approval and other conditions, and the $3.0 million raising is also subject to approval.
  • The timing of drilling at Wilson’s Hill is uncertain because approvals, land access and heritage considerations remain open.
  • Cash of $2.76 million covers roughly 16 quarters at the September quarter’s operating and exploration spend, but spending will rise if drilling and Skyline programs proceed.

What to Watch Ahead

  • Shareholder approval for the Skyline acquisition and the $3.0 million capital raising.
  • Regulatory approval and land access for the Wilson’s Hill drilling proposal.
  • The planned Skyline drilling programs at the Jukes, Darwin and Hydes prospects.

Final Word

Bubalus’s latest update centres on a change of focus toward the Skyline project, while its existing portfolio is being reviewed. The completion of the acquisition and the outcome of the capital raising will shape the company’s next stage.
