Tartana Minerals Ltd (ASX:TAT) hit a 52-week low during the Trading session on 21 October 2026, and its closing price for the day was $0.011, down 15.39%. Tartana Minerals is a Sydney-based explorer with copper-gold projects in Far North Queensland.

What Tartana Minerals does

Tartana Minerals Limited explores in Queensland’s Chillagoe district, including its OK-Bellevue Project within EPM 25970 (Dry River).

OK-Bellevue rock-chip results

In an ASX release dated 16 October 2026, Tartana reported high-grade copper and gold assays from selective rock-chip sampling and geological mapping at Bellevue, with eleven samples collected across four prospects. Results included a mullock sample at OK Blocks returning 17.1% Cu, 0.46 g/t Au and 11.7 g/t Ag, an outcrop sample at Hobblechain returning 12.0 g/t Au, samples at Windmill returning 10.7% Cu and 10.1% Cu, and dump samples at OK Dumps returning 8.29% and 3.61% Cu.

Selected historical diamond-drill intersections include 9 m at 4.24% Cu from 160 m and 4 m at 5.91% Cu from 140 m. The company said the results define multiple copper-gold targets for systematic follow-up and proposed scout drilling.

Sector context

Exploration-stage resource companies do not generate production revenue, and their share prices can move sharply on drilling results, funding news and Commodity sentiment.

Risks and uncertainties

Selective rock-chip and mullock samples are not representative of average grades, historical drilling is not verified by the company, and at about 1.1 cents the share price moves in large percentages. Closing prices on a single day are not the same as the 52-week high or low price, and a 52-week extreme does not indicate where a share price will move next.

Catalysts to watch

Items to watch include scout drilling, metallurgical work on dump material and further field results.

Closing perspective

Tartana’s 16 October 2026 release reported high-grade surface samples and historical intersections at OK-Bellevue. Scout drilling would test the targets.
