“Our prime focus is the Laverton tectonic zone at Pinjin. We're of the opinion that the area, the whole region, hosts the potential for multimillion-ounce deposits, and that's what we want to find,” said Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Managing Director Matt Painter.
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (ASX:KAL) is advancing a focused exploration strategy aimed at uncovering a multimillion-ounce gold resource within one of Western Australia’s most established gold corridors. With the gold price strengthening and regional activity accelerating, the company is intensifying systematic exploration across its Kalgoorlie land package.
According to Managing Director Matt Painter, the company’s strategy is firmly centred on scale rather than incremental gains.
“Our prime focus is the Laverton tectonic zone at Pinjin. We’re of the opinion that the area, the whole region, hosts the potential for multimillion-ounce deposits, and that’s what we want to find … So we’re looking for big things. We’re undertaking systematic exploration that will make sure that if it is there, we will find it."
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining’s exploration strategy is designed to identify large-scale gold systems within the Laverton tectonic zone, an area known for hosting significant deposits. While early high-grade intercepts have delivered encouraging results, Painter emphasised the company remains focused on the broader opportunity.
“We're a small company. We've got the expertise. We're in an area that, if you had asked me six or 12 months ago, I would have said, ‘We think there's gold out there.’ I will say now that we know there's gold out there, it's a matter of how much,” said Painter.
“If KalGold hits on to something significant out there, which we strongly believe is out there, you want to be a shareholder when that happens.”

Peruvian Metals (TSXV:PER,OTCPL:DUVNF) is positioning for first gold production in 2026 as it continues its transformation from a prospect generator into an exploration and mineral processing company, according to Jeff Reeder, chairman, CEO and director.
After operating as a prospect generator across Latin America, the company has reshaped its business model by building and operating its own toll-milling facility in Peru.
“I went and built a toll mill with the cash that I had, and we got it going. We started construction in 2017, and we started producing our first minerals in 2018. And from there, it’s bringing in lots of cash. We have an operating profit in Peru of about C$1 million.”
With the mill firmly established and generating cashflow, Peruvian Metals has shifted its focus to bringing its own high-grade underground material into production.
The company’s first gold production is anticipated in 2026. Reeder said the team plans to ramp up underground drifting at the Mercedes property. He noted that the focus will be on extracting minerals from approximately 900 meters of historic workings that have already been rehabilitated. According to Reeder, the first shipment of company-owned minerals to the mill is expected in May, with target grades of around 10 to 15 ounces.
Building on initial production, Reeder said the company is laying the groundwork for gold bullion output in 2027, leveraging multiple veins and a planned gold oxide plant — all funded internally.
“We can do it all out of cashflow, which is really what I want to do, as our shareholders’ dilution needs to be protected," he said.

Basin Energy (ASX:BSN) is positioning for growth following Sweden’s significant shift in uranium policy, a move the company’s managing director, Pete Moorhouse, says has major implications not only for the company, but also for Europe’s broader energy strategy.
In an interview with the Investing News Network, Moorhouse described the change as “genuinely significant,” noting that it removes longstanding uncertainty around uranium development in a country that already relies heavily on nuclear power.
For Basin, the policy shift de-risks its Scandinavian assets and provides a clearer pathway to advance exploration in a jurisdiction aiming to strengthen energy security and domestic supply chains.
Beyond Scandinavia, Basin Energy is active across multiple jurisdictions. In Canada’s Athabasca Basin, the company is finalising a partnership that could see one of its projects drill tested in the coming months, while in Queensland it has completed an initial drilling program across a large land package prospective for uranium and rare earths.
Additional drilling focused on hard-rock targets and high-grade shear-hosted uranium is planned, supported by ongoing exploration activity from major mining players in the region.
