Poseidon Nickel Limited

Windarra Tailings Project and Water Access Agreement Update

Poseidon Nickel (ASX: POS) (“the Company”) advises that the conditional agreement entered with Mt Morgans WA Mining Pty Ltd (“Mt Morgans”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis Minerals Limited (“Genesis”), for Mt Morgans to undertake a trial processing of up to 100,000 tonnes of Lancefield gold tailings through their Laverton processing facility and to have access to 2.5GL per annum of water from the South Windarra pit, has been terminated.


  • During December 2023 Poseidon entered a conditional agreement with Mt Morgans WA Mining (Mt Morgans), a subsidiary of Genesis Minerals Limited, the key terms being:
    • Mt Morgans to undertake a processing trial of up to 100,000 tonnes of Lancefield gold tailings through their currently idled Laverton processing facility; and
    • Mt Morgans to access up to 2.5GL of water per annum from the South Windarra open pit over a 5 year period
  • The agreement was subject to conditions precedent which were not satisfied or waived by the parties in the required time and consequently the agreement has been terminated
  • The agreement entered into with Encore Minerals to develop the Windarra Gold and Nickel Tailings using Draslovka’s Glycine Leaching Technology is unaffected by the termination of the agreement with Mt Morgans

Importantly the agreement with Encore Minerals to develop the Windarra Gold and Nickel Tailings using Draslovka’s Glycine Leaching Technology is unaffected by the termination of the agreement with Mt Morgans. Encore Minerals intends to use proprietary Glycine Leaching Technology (GlyCatTM + GlyLeachTM) to process the Windarra gold and nickel tailings and potentially the Lancefield gold tailings. Refer ASX release dated 31 July 2024 titled “Poseidon enters agreement with Encore Minerals to develop the Windarra Tailings Project.”

Discovery to Production: How Juniors are Rewriting the Gold Resource Playbook

Amid a sustained strong gold price, new opportunities are emerging for junior gold explorers to turn their discoveries into cashflow, not through the traditional M&A route, but through pathways to self-production. It’s a shift that is not only reshaping valuations and investor expectations, but the very nature of the junior mining sector.

For decades, the junior gold mining model has been predictable: make a discovery, build a resource, and then sell the project to a major producer. The goal was to de-risk an asset just enough to catch the attention of a larger company with the capital and processing infrastructure needed to bring it into production.

But as the gold price climbs and the competitive landscape tightens, that playbook could be changing — or at least, branching out. Increasingly, juniors are bypassing the “flip” stage and moving directly into production themselves.

Gold Price Breaks US$3,700, Then Falls as Fed Cuts Rates

The US Federal Reserve held its sixth meeting of 2025 from Tuesday (September 16) to Wednesday (September 17) amid slowing growth in the country's jobs market.

The central bank met analysts’ expectations by lowering the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to the 4 to 4.25 percent range. It marks the first cut of 2025, after holding at the 4.25 to 4.5 percent range since December 2024.

Despite August consumer price index (CPI) data showing inflation rose to 2.9 percent from 2.7 percent in July, a weakening labor market became the focus of the Fed’s dual mandate of stable prices and maximum employment.

The 21st century has so far been heavily marked by episodes of economic and sociopolitical upheaval. Uncertainty has pushed the precious metal to record highs as market participants seek its perceived security.

And each time the gold price rises, there are calls for even higher record-breaking levels.
