Barton Gold (ASX: BGD)

Announced the start of water bore drilling at its South Australian Tunkillia Gold Project.

Underdale Drillers has been engaged to complete a program totalling ~900m drilling for preliminary water testing, where success in locating additional sources of nearby water has the potential to both de-risk and improve project economics.

Barton Gold Begins The 2026 Tunkillia Drilling Program

Targeting Ore Reserves, PFS and ML application by the end of 2026

.

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD, OTCQB:BGDFF, FRA:BGD3) (Barton or Company) is pleased to announce the start of water bore drilling at its South Australian Tunkillia Gold Project (Tunkillia).

Underdale Drillers has been engaged to complete a program totalling ~900m drilling for preliminary water testing. Success in locating additional sources of nearby water has the potential to both de-risk and improve project economics.

Barton is also pleased to confirm that Tunkillia’s planned second phase JORC (2012) Mineral Resource upgrade drilling will start as planned during March 2026, with ~28,000m RC drilling targeting the conversion of the balance of Tunkillia’s OSS modelled open pit mineralisation (beyond S1 / S2) to JORC (2012) ‘Indicated’ category.

A ~3,000m diamond drilling (DD) program is planned to run in parallel with phase 2 RC drilling, targeting the infill and expansion of Tunkillia’s geotechnical and metallurgical databases in support of further open pit design optimisation, detailed recovery and production modelling, and a PFS and ML application by the end of 2026.

.
HIGHLIGHTS

• May 2025 Optimised Scoping Study (OSS) outlined a compelling Tunkillia development project:

o Annual production: ~120,000oz gold and ~250,000oz silver
o Total LOM operating cash: ~A$2.7 billion (unlevered, pre-tax)
o Net Present Value (NPV7.5%): ~A$1.4 billion (unlevered, pre-tax)
o Internal Rate of Return (IRR): ~73.2% (unlevered, pre-tax); and
o Payback period: ~0.8 years (unlevered, pre-tax)

• Barton expediting Tunkillia toward Mining Lease (ML) application, with AUD gold and silver prices now over $1,500/oz and $50/oz higher (respectively) than used for OSS revenue estimates
• ~900m water drilling has started, targeting potential new water sources near OSS open pits
• ~28,000m second phase reverse circulation (RC) Resource upgrade drilling to begin March 2026,
with ~3,000m Resource, geotechnical & metallurgical diamond drilling (DD) to start in parallel
• Targeting JORC (2012) Ore Reserves, pre-feasibility study (PFS) & ML application by end of 2026

.

Barton MD Alexander Scanlon Commented on Tunkillia’s 2026 drilling programs, 

“The Tunkillia OSS demonstrated the financial and capital leverage available to large-scale bulk processing operations, with the major advantage of a higher-grade ‘Starter Pit’ that can pay back development costs 2x over in the first year.

 

“With recent Resource upgrade drilling results further de-risking this profile, we are advancing our other development drilling programs in support of planned JORC Ore Reserves, a PFS, and a Mining Lease application by the end of 2026.

 

“Following the submission of our Mining Lease application, we will expedite Tunkillia’s project finance discussions in parallel with our targeted reinstatement of ‘Stage 1’ operations at our neighbouring Challenger Gold Project.

 

 

“Our objective is to bring Tunkillia online as soon as possible to realise our gold production target of 150,000oz annually.”

Stocks to watch in 2026 – Barton Gold

Comment

I have to admit, of all the stocks on my watchlist ,and in my current portfolio, Barton is my number one selection for having the most potential to create shareholder value in 2026.

The company has a strong management team that are quietly achieving their objectives moving towards the first phase of a two phase production schedule.

They are refurbishing an existing mill for a small capex, and are looking to commence gold production at the end of 2026, or the beginning of 2027.

For that reason, provided the gold price remains high around current levels, or higher of course, I see Barton climbing towards the production peak on the Lassonde Curve later this year.

Phase 2 production is three years away, when the company hope to produce 150,000 ounces of gold production per annum, which will produce a massive profit if the gold price remains high. 

Management own 21% of the stock, and institutions 36%, a good sign of confidence in the project and management.

Management visit Europe frequently, I meet CEO Alex Scanlon whenever he comes, he’s very communicative, which is another tick in the box for my personal criteria.

Stocks to watch in 2026 – Barton Gold

Barton Gold is due to enter production in late 2026 at its Gowler Mill in South Australia.

Barton is an active company and management are targeting 150,000 Oz gold production annually in the future.

The company are entering a two phase production plan, with a first stage due to enter production late 2026, early 2027. I personally always allow for some slippage in the timeline as mining is a complicated business.

The mill is fully permitted, and therefore I don’t expect too many challenges for the restart.

Phase 1

Involves reprocessing historic tailings, which provides a low cost entry to production. I like tailings projects, the hard work has already been done, they sit on surface, not in the ground, and new technology makes it possible to produce from what’s left over from their original processing.

Highlights

A DFS is due in March 2026.

Mill commissioning, and phase 1 operations are due to commence at the end of 2026.

Capex A$26 million.

Mill capacity will be between 600 and 650 ktpa.

Future Plans

Barton’s long term target after phase 2 is initiated is to produce 250,000 ounces of gold per annum.

Phase 1 production is designed to give Barton a chance to earn early cashflow as the longer term plans develop.

The latest Barton Gold Corporate presentation can be viewed HERE

In conclusion, I believe Barton Gold will deliver, the risk level looks at the lower end of the scale, being a tailings project to be processed at a refurbished mill, with low capex.

One to watch during 2026, especially as production startup approaches, as I expect the normal Lassonde Curve rules of shareholder value creation to apply as production approaches.

Barton Gold High Resolution Gravity Survey Targets Challenger Repeats

Targeting near-mine indications of high-grade quartz vein lodes

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD, OTCQB:BGDFF, FRA:BGD3) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm the start of a high resolution airborne gravity survey surrounding its South Australian Challenger Gold Project (Challenger).

The program is part of Barton’s research and development (R&D) initiatives
trialling various technologies in historically under-explored terrain to define new geological models.

HIGHLIGHTS

• High resolution survey over northern portion of EL 6502, which hosts the Challenger Gold Mine
• Targeting gravity anomalies indicative of structures similar to Challenger’s high-grade gold lodes

.

Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:

“With a DFS underway for the phased restart of operations at Challenger, leveraging our Central Gawler Mill, we are diligently pursuing our regional enhancement strategy.

 

“This includes not only our Tarcoola and Wudinna blending feed projects, but also the potential for near-mine repeats of Challenger’s high-grade quartz vein lodes.

“Challenger was developed during a period of record low gold prices, and as such historical investment favoured rapid development over local exploration. With existing infrastructure, new discoveries could be highly valuable.”

Barton Gold Tunkillia Upgrade Drilling – Update

Program advancing rapidly, ahead of schedule and under budget

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD, OTCQB:BGDFF, FRA:BGD3) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm that upgrade drilling for the ‘Starter Pits’ at its South Australian Tunkillia Gold Project (Tunkillia) is progressing ahead of schedule and under budget, with approximately 2/3 of the current ~18,000m program now complete.

Assuming revenues based upon a gold price of AUD $5,000 / ounce, the ‘Stage 1’ and ‘Stage 2’ optimised open pit areas are modelled to yield 365koz Au and A$1.3bn operating profit during Tunkillia’s first ~2.5 years alone.

.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Reverse circulation (RC) upgrade drilling on high value ‘Starter Pits’ ahead of schedule, 2/3 complete
• First assays from highest value ‘Stage 1’ area anticipated to be received during the coming weeks

Assuming revenues based upon a gold price of AUD $5,000 / ounce, the ‘Stage 1’ and ‘Stage 2’ optimised open pit areas are modelled to yield 365koz Au and A$1.3bn operating profit during Tunkillia’s first ~2.5 years alone.

Estimated ‘Starter Pits’ cash flows are modelled to repay development more than 2x over during the first year of operations, and more than 3x over during the first 2 years, offering an attractive credit financing profile.

This initial round of drilling is therefore designed to convert these two pit areas to JORC (2012) ‘Measured’ and ‘Indicated’ categories, reinforce modelling confidence and support expedited project financing discussions.

.
 Barton Managing Director Alex Scanlon said:

“We are pleased to confirm that the first phase of Tunkillia upgrade drilling is progressing well, ahead of schedule and under budget, with contractors Raglan Drilling consistently delivering an average of over 300 metres drilling per day.

 

“Prior drilling in the ‘Starter Pits’ area has typically returned Tunkillia’s highest grades. Our modelling that indicates that these pits can deliver a payback period of less than 1 year in operations, offering a very attractive credit profile.”

Barton Gold ‘Stage 1’ Resources at Central Gawler Mill Grows to 223koz Au

Priority focus on higher-grade tailings and open pit materials

.

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD) (Barton or Company) is pleased to announce an updated MRE for its South Australian Challenger Gold Project (Challenger).

The updated Challenger MRE follows a detailed analysis of historical production and drilling records, and new drilling and site sampling to validate these historical records and actual metallurgical characteristics.

Based upon these analyses, Barton has identified several potential sources of economically viable gold mineralisation adjacent to the Central Gawler Mill for use as lower-cost and lower-risk ‘Stage 1’ mill feed.

.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Challenger JORC (2012) Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) grow to 223koz gold (9.56Mt @
0.72 g/t Au), including 81,200oz Au contained in the existing high-grade open pit zones:
o Main open pit: 69,600oz Au (0.64Mt @ 3.39 g/t Au);
o Challenger West open pit: 11,600oz Au (0.03Mt @ 10.6 g/t Au);
o Main U/G (1,000 – 900mRL): 21,900oz Au (0.17Mt @ 3.98 g/t Au);
o Challenger SSW Deposit: 12,200oz Au (0.40Mt @ 0.95 g/t Au);
o Tailings Facility 1: 55,500oz Au (3.19Mt @ 0.54 g/t Au); and
o Tailings Facility 2: 51,800oz Au (5.13Mt @ 0.31 g/t Au).
• Barton’s total gold JORC Mineral Resources increase to 1.9Moz Au (73.0Mt @ 0.79 g/t Au)
• Next steps for ‘Stage 1’ commercialisation pathway include:
o re-extension of Challenger underground JORC Mineral Resources model to depth;
o preliminary capital cost estimate for recommissioning of Central Gawler Mill;
o mining studies to prioritise sources of mineralisation in ‘Stage 1’ operations area; and
o feasibility studies and JORC Reserves estimate for an initial ‘Stage 1’ operation.
• Targeting feasibility studies by end of 2025, initial ‘Stage 1’ operations by end of 2026

.

Barton MD Alexander Scanlon said:

“As indicated to the market for the past ~24 months, we have been analysing the potential for JORC Mineral Resources in the immediate vicinity of our fully permitted Central Gawler Mill.

 

“This infrastructure is a significant leverage point for BGD’s investors, and provides the option for a shorter, lower-cost, and lower-risk pathway to operations and the re-rating of BGD to ‘producer’ status.

 

“There is significant arbitrage value in this ‘real option’.

 

“With the sustained upward move in gold prices, we will now look to exercise that option. During the balance of 2025 we will complete feasibility analyses to determine the preferred development pathway, with the objective to commence our initial ‘Stage 1’ operations before the end of 2026.”

Barton Gold $3m Premium Placement Complete, Drilling Underway

High-grade Tolmer silver & Tunkillia ‘Starter Pit’ drilling programs funded.

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD, FRA:BGD3, OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to announce that the $3m premium placement announced on 26 May 2025 has completed (Placement).

The Company also confirms that drilling is now underway on its new high-grade Tolmer silver discovery, recently confirmed by Barton during March and April 2025, with priority focus on high-grade silver targets.

The Placement was led by Australian precious metals development focused investors.

The Placement price of $0.70 per Share represents a ~4% premium to the Company’s last traded price and a ~25% premium to the Company’s 1 month (20 trading day) volume weighted average closing price (VWAP) of $0.562 per share on the last trading day prior to the Placement (Thursday, 22 May 2025).

A total of 4,285,722 new Placement Shares have been issued pursuant to the Company’s available Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.

The Placement was managed by Barton. No brokerage, costs or fees have been incurred.

All funds will be allocated to the acceleration of value-add exploration and project development initiatives, with Placement funds primarily allocated to Reserve conversion upgrade drilling for Tunkillia’s ‘Starter Pit’.

.

HIGHLIGHTS

• $3 million premium Placement to Australian investors completed to fund JORC Resources 
upgrade drilling planned for ~September 2025 at Tunkillia’s high value ‘Starter Pit’
• Placement price of $0.70 per share represents a:
o ~4% premium to last traded price of $0.675 / share on Thursday, 22 May 2025
o ~25% premium to Barton’s 1 month (20 trading day) VWAP of $0.562 / share
• Other drilling advancing quickly on high-grade Tolmer gold and silver targets; priority
target is the ‘western silver’ zone where previous drilling intersected up to 17,600 g/t Ag.

Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon commented

“The success of this Placement is a strong endorsement of Barton’s low-dilution development strategy.

 

“Including this Placement, since our June 2021 IPO four years ago Barton has issued less than $13 million in new equity, while generating over $12m (net of costs) in additional non-dilutive funds through asset monetisation initiatives.

 

“The result has been significant progress and value creation on all fronts with minimal shareholder dilution, reflecting our team’s strong alignment with, and focus on preservation of value for, our existing shareholders.

.

“We are excited to be accelerating several value-add workstreams, including ‘Stage 1’ operations plans, Tunkillia long-lead Mining Lease and PFS programs including Reserve conversion drilling, and expedited drilling on our recent Tolmer high-grade gold and silver discoveries.

 

“We look forward to sharing many more updates soon.”

Comment

I have followed the Barton Gold story for a couple of years and hold CEO Alex Scanlon in high regard.

Barton have just announced the Tolmer silver discovery, which was totally unexpected, and was probably the reason for the recent run up in volume traded and share price.

The story is becoming more compelling and I am looking to top up my existing holding as the new ISA year has just started.

The post below is the note sent to shareholders by the CEO.

Barton Gold Follow Up Aircore Drilling Starts at New Tolmer Gold System

.

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD, FRA:BGD3, OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm that its regional AC drilling program has moved to the Company’s South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola), targeting the new ‘Tolmer’ gold system recently confirmed by high-grade assays.

HIGHLIGHTS

• ~8,500m aircore (AC) drilling completed to date at Tarcoola’s Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone (LLSZ)
• Start of Tolmer drilling follows recent high-grade assays confirming new Tolmer gold system.

.

Barton MD Alexander Scanlon said:

“We are steadily mapping out the commercial pathway for potential ‘Stage 1’ Tarcoola operations using our fully permitted Central Gawler Mill, followed by ‘Stage 2’ expansion into the adjacent 130,000ozpa Tunkillia Gold Project with the construction of a second mill.

“As each of these commercial platforms offers greater value to new regional mineralisation, we remain focused on unlocking the scale potential of our strategic asset package.”

Background

During March to July 2024 Barton completed a total ~11,250m reverse circulation (RC) drilling across targets from its latest Tarcoola structural interpretations, including the Perseverance open pit mine and targets to the west.

Following this drilling, Barton confirmed a JORC Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) of
~20koz Au @ ~2 g/t Au in the Perseverance Mine’s open pit floor.

Drilling also intersected gold mineralisation across neighbouring targets including School, Old Flame, Warburton, with new high-grade assay results confirming a newly interpreted gold mineralised system at Tolmer comprised of quartz sulphide veining hosted within broader zones of alteration.

An initial ~2,000m drilling program is planned to test the potential strike of Tolmer alteration zone(s) in the vicinity of recent high grade assay results including intervals of 4m @ 24.6 g/t, 9m @ 3.92 g/t, 14m @ 1.41 g/t and 5m @ 3.15 g/t.4
