Metal Hawk Limited

Leinster South Update

Metal Hawk Limited (ASX: MHK, “Metal Hawk” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update for its 100% owned Leinster South project, located 30km south of Leinster in the Western Australian goldfields. Since the Company returned high-grade gold results from rockchip sampling at the Siberian Tiger prospect (see ASX announcement 5 August 2024), further exploration activities have commenced and Metal Hawk is progressing towards a maiden drilling program at the prospect as soon as possible.


  • High resolution UAV (drone) magnetic survey underway at Leinster South, covering the majority of western tenement E 36/1068 which includes the Siberian Tiger gold prospect.
  • New detailed geophysical data will significantly enhance the geological and structural understanding of the project area and will further assist Metal Hawk with identifying targets for drilling.
  • Reconnaissance rockchip samples at Siberian Tiger returned high grade gold up to 20.2g/t from outcropping quartz veining. Additional samples of outcropping quartz veins along strike from Siberian Tiger have been delivered to the laboratory for gold and multi-element analysis.
  • New tenement applications expand the Leinster South project area to over 430km2.
  • Heritage negotiations and drilling approvals are underway.

The Company recently applied for two new exploration licenses to the east of Siberian Tiger, increasing the Leinster South project area to more than 430km2. This is a significant landholding in one of the most well-endowed gold regions of WA. The Siberian Tiger gold discovery is located along the southern limb of the Lawlers anticline and only 15km from the Lawlers mining centre (Figure 1). Past production from the Agnew - Lawlers deposits is > 5 million oz @ 5gt Au1.

A high-resolution UAV (drone) magnetic survey has commenced, with 50m spaced east-west lines at a flying height of 25m conducted over the majority of Leinster South tenement E36/1068, which includes the Siberian Tiger gold prospect. The Pegasus Airborne UAV system is able to quickly and efficiently provide high quality, detailed magnetic data which can be used to identify important structures and geological features of gold deposits. The magnetic survey will assist Metal Hawk geologists with targeting at Siberian Tiger and other regional prospect areas. Processing and interpretation of geophysical data will be carried out immediately following completion of the survey, which is expected to take 3-4 days.

Metal Hawk’s Managing Director Will Belbin commented: “We are collecting important geochemical, structural and geophysical data to better understand the controls and potential characteristics of gold mineralisation in the area. The drone magnetic survey will enable better interpretation of the subsurface geology and ultimately help us to determine the best possible target locations for the maiden drilling program at Siberian Tiger.”

“Whilst the historical geophysical dataset over the Leinster South tenure is poor, we expect that the new magnetic survey will show excellent detail and key structural features of the pronounced southeast trending greenstone belt.”

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.

Is Australia on the Brink of a New Mining Super Cycle?

Mining remains as a cornerstone of Australia’s GDP and export earnings, but current global challenges such as trade disputes and price changes may be straining its foundations.

A recent FocusEconomics report tackled Australia’s resource wealth, tracing from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the iron ore and coal booms of the 21st century.
