Many Peaks Minerals Limited (Many Peaks or the Company) (ASX: MPK) is pleased to advise that it has completed a A$5.2 million equity raise within a 24-hour period from a small number of high-net-worth and institutional investors to accelerate exploration over an extensive area of gold anomalous geochemistry with early but very encouraging drilling results at the Odienne and Ferke Gold Projects located in northwest Côte d’Ivoire.


The Company received firm commitments for a two-tranche placement of 23,636,364 new fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) at a price of A$0.22 per New Share (Placement).

The Placement was made available to institutional and professional/sophisticated investors. Applications were received predominantly from existing shareholders, ranging from several long-term supporters of the Company to a number of new shareholders who have strongly participated in recent on-market buying following Many Peaks’ acquisition of permits covering 1,275km2 in Cote d’Ivoire (refer to ASX Announcement dated 26 March 2024).

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

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.
