Magnetic Resources (ASX:MAU)

Mining Lease Application Over the Lady Julie North 4 Deposit

Magnetic Resources lodged a Mining Lease application over its Lady Julie North 4 discovery. M38/1315 (pending) overlays Magnetic tenements P38/4170 and E38/3127 and covers an area of 238Ha (Figure 1).


The application was made on the basis of the declared gold resource at LJN4 of 13.1Mt @ 2.0g/t containing 852,000ozs, bringing the total of the Laverton area resources to 22.7Mt @ 1.69 g/t for 1.24Mozs, which was published recently in an ASX release 23 November 2023 (also in Figures 1-2, Tables 1-2).

The rapidly growing LJN4 resource is situated on the Chatterbox shear zone, a regional structure which hosts other significant gold deposits. An aggressive drilling program at LJN4 has led to the recognition of thick high-grade breccia mineralisation and silica-pyrite alteration zones which remain open at depth. Further drilling at depth is anticipated to result in further growth of the LJN4 resource.

Work is continuing on the development of a Mining Proposal which will apply to both M38/1315 and a further Mining Lease over other key deposits (Figure 2). Magnetic can now advise that the application has passed the initial 35-day period and will now move through the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety’s review and approvals process.

The Table below summarises the updated Total Mineral Resource at a 0.5g/t Au cutoff (Table 1), with Table 2 providing details of the major resources. Details for the smaller resources which have not changed can be found in the 3 February 2023 ASX release.

Managing Director George Sakalidis commented:

“This is a major milestone for the Company. The Mining Lease application is the first stage in the mining approvals process.

Concurrently, we are still drilling at depth below the existing 825,000oz resource beneath the Lady Julie North 4 Resource. Further drilling at depth is anticipated to result in further growth of the LJN4 resource and additional structural studies are being completed on the recent core holes to help understand the setting of the breccia and silica-pyrite zones.

There are currently 2 diamond rigs and an RC rig on site trying to expand the resources both within and to the south along the Chatterbox shear along identified new target areas.”

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. Notes Unusual Trading Activity and the Development of its New Website

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: WLR, "Walker Lane") announces that there has been unusual trading activity of its common shares that appeared to initiate on March 27, 2025 and appears to have occurred on each subsequent TSX-V trading day to current day. The recent stock trading activity does not reflect the health of our business or the recent significant value added assets to the property portfolio and adds to the previous undervaluation of the assets that were noted in a research report completed by Fundamental Research Corporation (see CMC Metals Ltd. press release - January 15, 2025). Management considers that some recent market transactions of its common shares could be an organized type of short selling tactic as we cannot determine any other explanation for the unusual downside trading activity.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold has continued to perform exceptionally well in 2025 and even broke through the AU$5,000 per ounce mark for the first time on April 1, when it reached a new all-time high of AU$5,034.

Markets have experienced significant volatility since the start of US President Donald Trump’s term. Tariff threats have created unease among US allies attempting to avoid a full-scale trade war with the world’s largest economy.

The rising gold price also coincides with increasing tensions in the Middle East, where attacks against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have intensified. These and other circumstances have prompted investors to seek the safe haven of gold, leading the yellow metal to repeatedly hit new record-high prices throughout the year.
