Overview
Golden Mile Resources (ASX:G88) is a Western Australia-based resource company with critical and precious metals exploration projects in Western Australia and Arizona, USA. The company’s near-term focus is on advancing its newly acquired Pearl copper project in Arizona, located in the world-class Laramide Porphyry Belt. The company’s longer term focus includes the advancement of the Quicksilver nickel-cobalt project, located in Western Australia, which has an indicated and inferred resource of 26.3 Mt @ 0.64 percent nickel and 0.04 percent cobalt.
Golden Mile is also focused on strategic alliances with joint venture partners to maintain exposure without expense on its other assets, such as its Leonora JV (Patronus Resources earning up to 80 percent) project and Gidgee JV (Gateway earning up to 80 percent).
Concurrently, the company’s leadership team will consider potential divestment or JVs of its non-core assets and also aims to build up a new portfolio of high-quality multi-element assets, from discovery to development.

Key Projects
Pearl Copper Project
Golden Mile secured the Pearl copper project in August 2024. Located in Arizona, the asset hosts more than 50 artisanal copper workings and shares similar geological characteristics to the San Manuel-Kalamazoo and Pinto Valley porphyry copper mines. The project exhibits widespread surface alteration highlighted by rock chip samples of 7.3 percent copper, 0.43 percent molybdenum, 19.9 percent lead, 4.9 percent zinc and 360 g/t silver.
Golden Mile will initially focus on the Odyssey and Ford prospects within the Pearl project area which present immediate, highly prospective, exploration drill targets. The Odyssey prospect is a multi-vein polymetallic target that has never been drilled.Rock chip sampling conducted by the company in 2024 indicated assays of up to 312 g/t silver, 15.2 percent copper, and 24.8 percent zinc, and 12.65 percent lead.
The Ford Prospect is a polymetallic target with a history of copper, lead and gold. Ford was mined to a depth of 55 m and historical records indicate grades of up to 10.6 percent copper, 31.3 percent lead and 0.54oz (16.7g/t) gold.
In 2025, Golden Mile completed reconnaissance mapping and rock chip sampling which identified a promising new gold target – the Aurora Prospect. The reconnaissance rock chip sampling returned high-grade values of up to 10.8 g/t gold and 33.9 g/t silver.
The company has awarded the reverse circulation (RC) drilling contract for the Odyssey and Ford prospects at its Pearl Copper Project to Alford Drilling. The program will consist of 14 to 16 RC drill holes, totaling up to 2,000 metres, marking Pearl’s maiden drilling campaign and the first-ever exploration at the Odyssey and Ford targets. These targets are situated within historical mine workings active between 1915 and 1942, where significant mineral grades were previously reported.
Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt Project
The Quicksilver nickel-cobalt project is located approximately 280 km southeast of Perth in Western Australia. The project comprises an area of about 50 sq km that boasts excellent local infrastructure, including easy access to a grid power, sealed roads and a railway line to key ports.
In 2018, Golden Mile announced an indicated and inferred maiden resource estimate of 26.3 Mt @ 0.64 percent nickel and 0.04 percent cobalt. Metallurgical testwork completed in 2023 significantly improved understanding of the unique saprolitic mineralisation at the project and a potential pathway to production.
The company has also identified a customized multi-products flowsheet to produce nickel-cobalt and iron-nickel-cobalt-chromium concentrates, as well as industrial products. The process would require low energy using the physical attributes of the free digging ore.
