GoldArc Resources Limited (ASX:GA8) shares touched a 52-week low during the Trading session on 26 October 2026, trading at $0.038, down 11.63% on the day. GoldArc is a West Perth-based gold company whose Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well deposits sit within the Leonora North Gold Project in Western Australia. Its latest project announcement, dated 21 October 2026, covers an expanded regulatory approval.

Amended MDCP Approved

On 21 October 2026 GoldArc confirmed that the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE) approved an amended Mining Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP) for Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well. The approval was issued under section 103AO of the Mining Act 1978 (WA) and adds a western haul road and an expanded accommodation village to the activities approved in August 2026.

The western haul road provides a second approved route for ore haulage and access from the Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well pits, which the company said gives an opportunity to better manage the site and weather events. The updated accommodation village has been approved across L37/271, M37/1306 and M37/1313 to house the expanded operational workforce.

The announcement describes the project as fully permitted and shovel ready, and says the Partnership is in advanced negotiation with nearby processing plants. The next steps also include construction of the western haul road as part of site establishment, following the finalisation of the detailed mine schedule that incorporates the completed grade control dataset.

Scope of the Approvals Statement

Approvals Statement AS-01301 (version 2.00) now covers 126.8 hectares across eight tenements, bringing pits, waste rock landforms, run of mine pads, stockpiles, water infrastructure, the haul road and camp under a single approval. Activity areas include 58.0 hectares on M37/1306, 19.0 hectares on M37/1305, 14.0 hectares on M37/1312 and 8.0 hectares on M37/1313, along with licences L37/271, L37/272, L37/294 and L37/295.

BML Ventures continues to fund development under a 50/50 net profit share arrangement, with GoldArc retaining 100% ownership of the Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well deposits. GoldArc and BML are finalising the detailed mine schedule, incorporating the completed grade control dataset, and advancing site establishment planning. The company said the partnership is in advanced negotiation with nearby processing plants to finalise a date to commence mining.

An MDCP, or Mining Development and Closure Proposal, is the document submitted to Western Australia's regulator describing mining activities and the closure plan, and it is approved under the Mining Act. The August 2026 approval covered the pits, and this amendment extends the approved footprint to the haul road and the camp.

About GoldArc Resources

GoldArc Resources is headquartered at 104 Colin Street, Perth. Its Leonora North Gold Project contains the Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well open pit deposits. Under the profit share arrangement, development spending is funded by BML Ventures while GoldArc keeps full ownership of the deposits.

The accommodation village is approved across three tenements, and the western haul road lies within miscellaneous licence L37/294. The company said the approval brings the pits, waste rock landforms, run of mine pads, stockpiles, water infrastructure, haul road and camp under a single approval.

Risks

Although the project is described as fully permitted, mining has not commenced and a start date has not been set because processing agreements are still under negotiation. The detailed mine schedule remains to be finalised. Under the net profit share, outcomes depend on the partnership's costs and revenues, and GoldArc is reliant on its partner to fund development.

The company said the approval removes practical risks from the development plan relating to ore haulage and workforce accommodation. The remaining uncertainties include the processing agreements, the schedule, the cost of establishing the site and the net profit share outcome, which depends on revenues and costs borne through the partnership.

Catalysts on Investors' Radar

The next steps listed are finalising the mine schedule with BML Ventures, advancing site establishment planning including construction of the western haul road, and concluding negotiations with processing plants to set a mining start date.

Final Perspective

GoldArc touched a 52-week low five days after announcing the approval of its haul road and camp. The approvals complete the site infrastructure footprint, while the start date for mining depends on agreements with processing plants.
