M3 Mining Ltd (ASX:M3M) shares traded at $0.019, down 9.52%, during the Trading session on 26 October 2026, while the S&P/ASX 200 index (XJO) stood at 8,805.30, up 0.11% or 10.10 points, at 2:06 pm. Separately, the company's latest announcement on file is dated 23 July 2026 and covers ultra-fine soil results at the Edjudina Gold Project in Western Australia.

M3 Mining explores Edjudina, about 150 km north-east of Kalgoorlie, and the release reports gold anomalies from a 479-sample program. The release is dated earlier than the session, so the share price movement and the announcement are reported as separate items.

Soil anomalies (23 July 2026)

A 479-sample ultra-fine program defined at Yilgangie a 2.3 km Eastern Zone anomaly tied to historic intersections of 2m at 3.9 g/t gold and a 1.2 km Western Zone in an untested area. At Broken Hill Bore it defined a 1.6 km anomaly with high-grade rocks to 65.0 g/t gold and old workings, plus a 1.0 km east-west anomaly in a new area, all about 6 km from the Neta Gold Mine.

Method and next steps

The ultra-fine technique, developed by CSIRO, is used in deeply weathered terrains to see through cover. The company said results Warrant follow-up, and a heritage agreement is progressing so heritage surveys can proceed.
