During the trading session on 23 October 2026, Flynn Gold Limited (ASX:FG1) shares were up 7.14% at $0.015 at 12:04 pm, while the S&P/ASX 200 stood at 8,762.60, down 0.35% (30.60 points). Flynn is a Tasmanian-focused mineral explorer with projects prospective for gold, tungsten, tin, and silver-lead-zinc. In an announcement dated 19 October 2026, the company reported further high-grade gold and tungsten assay results from its 2026 drilling at the Firetower Project in northern Tasmania.

Firetower Hole Returns 12.95m of Gold-Tungsten Mineralisation

In its announcement dated 19 October 2026, Flynn reported that hole 2019FTD003E, an extension of a historical hole originally drilled to 120.20m, intersected 12.95m at 2.24g/t gold, 0.46% tungsten oxide (WO3), 0.18% copper, 0.23% cobalt and 7.22g/t silver from 156.9m.

Within that interval the company identified 1.20m at 3.95g/t gold and 0.93% WO3 from 157.30m, and 2.58m at 4.56g/t gold and 0.92% WO3 from 167.27m. A narrower zone of 0.73m at 11.95g/t gold, 2.29% WO3, 0.46% copper and 0.64% cobalt was associated with semi-massive sulphide mineralisation.

The intercept sits about 50m northwest of hole 2019FTD014E, which returned 9.64m at 2.49g/t gold from 200.13m earlier in the 2026 campaign. Hole FT-2026-002 intersected broader, lower-grade zones, including 16.40m at 0.65g/t gold from 99.75m.

Revised Geological Model Identifies Two Structural Trends

The 19 October 2026 announcement also set out an updated geological model identifying two principal mineralised structural trends. The F300 Zone is a northwest-trending corridor with broad zones of gold-tungsten-copper-cobalt mineralisation and discrete high-grade intervals. The F90 Zone is an approximately east-west corridor of predominantly gold mineralisation with generally lower tungsten and base metal grades.

Flynn said the F90 Zone appears to terminate against the F300 corridor, with wider and higher-grade polymetallic mineralisation occurring where the two trends converge. The company said the F300 Zone remains open to the northwest and at depth.

Next Steps Toward a Maiden Resource Estimate

According to the 19 October 2026 announcement, with the final assays from the five-hole 2026 program received, Flynn can begin metallurgical sighter testwork required to finalise a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for Firetower. Planned work for the remainder of 2026 also includes a review of historical geophysical surveys and geological modelling.

The company also noted that resource definition drilling at the Brilliant prospect within the Golden Ridge Project in north-east Tasmania is ongoing, with assay results pending.

About the Company and Business Overview

Flynn Gold Limited is an Australian mineral exploration company listed on the ASX under the code FG1, with its office in Melbourne, Victoria. Its portfolio is in Tasmania and includes ten 100%-owned tenements in the north-east of the state that the company describes as prospective for gold, tin and tungsten, along with the Henty silver-lead-zinc project on the west coast.

The Firetower tungsten, gold and critical metals project in northern Tasmania is described as an advanced-stage polymetallic project within the north-eastern extension of the Mt Read Volcanic Sequence. Drilling by Flynn and earlier explorers has shown continuity of mineralisation over a strike length of about 250m and up to 200m vertical depth, with the system remaining open along strike and at depth.

Related Sector Context

Flynn operates in mineral exploration, where companies typically fund drilling and technical studies through equity raisings while working toward defining a resource. Firetower is described by the company as a tungsten, gold and critical metals project.

At 12:04 pm on 23 October 2026, the S&P/ASX 200 stood at 8,762.60, down 0.35%, while Flynn shares traded 7.14% higher at $0.015.

Risks to Weigh In

Flynn reported cash of A$1.12 million at 30 June 2026 and no debt, with a market capitalisation of A$8.5 million in the announcement, so exploration work depends on funding such as the rights issue it referred to. A maiden Mineral Resource Estimate has not yet been finalised, and the metallurgical testwork that precedes it has yet to be completed.

The company noted that FT-2026-002 returned predominantly lower-grade zones, and drilling results at Firetower to date describe only a strike length of about 250m.

Catalysts on Watch

Items the company has flagged include metallurgical sighter testwork, further geological modelling leading to a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at Firetower, and assay results from resource definition drilling at the Brilliant prospect within the Golden Ridge Project.

Managing Director and CEO Neil Marston said in the announcement that significant news flow was expected across both projects in the coming weeks. The rights issue referred to in the announcement was due to end on Wednesday 21 October 2026.

Where Things Stand

Flynn Gold shares were trading at $0.015, up 7.14%, at 12:04 pm on 23 October 2026, while the S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.35%. The company's most recent update on file, dated 19 October 2026, reported a 12.95m gold-tungsten intercept at Firetower and a revised two-trend geological model, with testwork and further assay results still to come.
