Strickland Metals Ltd (ASX:STK) shares traded at $0.039, down 27.78%, 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 16 September 2026 and covers an exploration update on the Rogozna Gold and Base Metals Project in Serbia.

Strickland Metals owns the Rogozna project, and the update reports magnetotelluric survey results that identified a new large target. The release is dated earlier than the session, so the share price movement and the announcement are reported as separate items.

Magnetotelluric survey results (16 September 2026)

Strickland reported that a recently completed MT survey highlighted multiple new anomalies across the Rogozna Project. The largest is a low-resistivity, high-chargeability anomaly beneath the Obradov Prospect, where 2025 drilling met carbonate replacement style mineralisation that the company interprets as the distal part of a porphyry-skarn system.

Other targets

The company said MT, gravity, IP, geochemical and drilling data converge at Obradov, making it a priority target for future drilling. A new target area was identified at Jezerska North from MT conductivity and surface geochemistry, and a conductivity feature extends 900 metres east of the Jezerska porphyry system, suggesting untested potential. Strickland reported cash and liquids of $72 million at 30 June 2026.

About Strickland Metals

Strickland Metals Limited (ASX:STK) owns 100% of the Rogozna Gold and Base Metals Project in Serbia, described as a ~9.25 million ounce gold-equivalent project, and is advancing exploration there.

Related sector context

Geophysical surveys such as magnetotelluric work are used to map conductive and resistive bodies at depth and to prioritise drill targets in porphyry and skarn systems. Serbia is an active exploration Jurisdiction for gold and base metals.

The XJO was up 0.11% at 2:06 pm on the day.

Risks to weigh in

The survey outlines anomalies that have not been drilled, and the porphyry-skarn interpretation is the company's own. Exploration drilling may not intersect mineralisation, and shares priced at $0.039 can move sharply in either direction.

Catalysts on watch

Items to follow include drill planning at Obradov and Jezerska North, further survey results and the company's next quarterly report.

Closing perspective

Strickland Metals (ASX:STK) traded 27.78% lower during the 26 October 2026 session, while its latest release, dated 16 September 2026, reported new MT anomalies at Rogozna.
