Barton Gold Holdings Limited develops gold and silver assets in the Gawler Craton of South Australia and trades on the ASX, OTCQB and Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Company news centers on exploration and development work across Tunkillia, Challenger, Tarcoola, Wudinna and Tolmer, including drilling programs, assay results, JORC Mineral Resource updates, metallurgical evaluation and technical studies.
Recurring updates also cover the wholly owned Central Gawler Mill, restart planning tied to brownfield mining assets, conference presentations and resource-development strategy. Project announcements frequently discuss gold and silver mineralisation, open-pit and near-surface targets, diamond and reverse-circulation drilling, and study work supporting future mine development.
Barton Gold (BGDFF) reported further high-grade assay results from its 39,000m Phase 2 RC resource upgrade drilling at the Tunkillia Gold Project’s shallow ‘Starter Pits’.
Highlighted intercepts include 50m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 62m (TKB0668), 21m @ 3.62 g/t Au from 57m (TKB0667), and 11m @ 8.73 g/t Au from 68m (TKB0674), with internal zones up to 36.9 g/t Au. These infill assays appear to confirm a new shallow high-grade mineralised zone above already modelled starter-pit ore, which the company says could improve grade assumptions for the upcoming PFS and project economics. Final Phase 2 assays are pending, after which updated gold and silver JORC Mineral Resource Estimates will be prepared. The PFS remains on track for Q1 CY27, and Tunkillia’s environmental Scoping Report has received government approval as the first Mining Lease step.
Barton Gold (BGDFF) received approval of the environmental Scoping Report for its Tunkillia Gold Project from South Australia's Department for Energy & Mining, marking the first step in the Mining Lease and development approvals process.
The report sets the official terms of reference for required environmental studies, modelling, community engagement and other programs. Barton has already commenced several of these programs and is targeting publication of updated JORC Mineral Resource Estimates following ~58,000m of resource upgrade drilling and new high-grade mineralisation. The company aims to publish Ore Reserves and a Pre-feasibility Study for large-scale gold and silver production in Q1 CY27, followed by a Mining Lease application.
Barton Gold (OTC:BGDFF) reported further assays from its 39,000m 'Phase 2' RC Resource upgrade drilling at the Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia, confirming new high-grade gold mineralisation in shallow zones within the existing 'Starter Pit' outlines.
Highlighted intercepts include 24m @ 4.51 g/t Au from 47m (TKB0703) and 11m @ 5.51 g/t Au from 14m (TKB0678), with multiple metre-scale intervals exceeding 10 g/t Au. According to Barton Gold, this infill mineralisation may extend total Tunkillia mineralisation, support gold and silver JORC Resource upgrades within the May 2025 OSS pit shells, and enhance grade assumptions for the upcoming PFS, which remains on track for Q1 CY27. The company models its 'S1' and 'S2' Starter Pits to deliver about A$1.8bn operating profit over the first 2.5 years at current metal prices.
Barton Gold (OTC:BGDFF) has commenced sterilisation drilling at its Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia to test multiple sites for key infrastructure and avoid locating facilities over potential mineralisation. A Pre‑Feasibility Study (PFS) for large‑scale gold production is underway, targeting publication in Q1 CY27.
The May 2025 Optimised Scoping Study outlined ~120,000oz gold and ~260,000oz silver annual production, ~A$2.7bn total operating cash, ~A$1.4bn NPV (7.5%), 73.2% IRR and ~0.8‑year payback (all unlevered, pre‑tax). S1 and S2 pits are modelled to deliver 365,000oz gold, 923,000oz silver and A$1.7bn operating free cash in the first ~27 months. Barton has completed 57,653m of drilling for JORC Mineral Resource upgrades, with the PFS aiming to convert these to Ore Reserves, subject to technical assessment.
Barton Gold (ASX:BGD, OTC:BJDFF) reported multiple new high-grade drill assays from the Tolmer silver discovery at its Tarcoola Gold Project in South Australia, following a 3,677m reverse circulation program. New results infill the shallow, high-grade western silver zone and extend its silver mineralisation strike to over 500m, while also adding broad, high-grade intersections in the eastern gold zone.
Key new intervals include up to 1,706 g/t Ag and 4.45 g/t Au (TBM0260) and 28.9 g/t Au with silver credits in several holes. According to Barton Gold, Tolmer now hosts numerous western-zone assays above 2,000 gram-metres silver, and previous concentrate testwork produced grades over 100,000 g/t Ag (~10% silver). The company has initiated petrological and structural analysis, will commence full metallurgical testwork using composite drill samples, and plans updated geological modelling to guide follow-up drilling and early mining method assessments. Barton Gold also intends to update its 3.1Moz silver Tunkillia Resource to support JORC upgrades, a pre-feasibility study and financing discussions.
Barton Gold (OTC:BGDFF) reports completion of its 'Phase 2' reverse circulation and diamond drilling campaign at the Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia, with 38,760m drilled across 311 holes over five months. Combined with Phase 1, total drilling for the Tunkillia upgrade program reaches 57,653m in 520 holes.
According to Barton Gold, the program targets upgrading mineralisation within optimised open pits from JORC Inferred to Indicated category, with the highest‑value S1 Starter Pit material aimed for Measured classification. The S1 pit is modelled to yield 206koz gold and 491koz silver at a cash cost of A$997/oz, generating over A$800m operating cash and repaying project development more than twice in its first year. A Pre‑Feasibility Study for potential large‑scale gold production is underway, with publication targeted for Q1 CY27. Barton highlights that drilling results to date have generally exceeded expectations and anticipates significant assay and resource updates in coming months.

Barton Gold (OTCQB:BGDFF) reported further assays from its ~40,000m 'Phase 2' reverse circulation drilling at the Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia, infilling the Area 223 North and southern main Area 223 optimised open pits. Significant intersections include 29m @ 1.24 g/t Au from 48m (including 4m @ 4.08 g/t Au) and 19m @ 1.34 g/t Au from 149m (including 4m @ 2.85 g/t Au).
The company said Phase 1 and 2 results have infilled the highest value S1/S2 pits and identified broader, higher-grade Area 51 extensions. A Pre-Feasibility Study for Tunkillia, led by GR Engineering, is underway and targeted for completion in Q1 CY27, with Barton anticipating future Mineral Resource upgrades for gold and silver.
Barton Gold Holdings (ASX:BGD, OTCQB:BGDFF) will present today, July 28, 2026, at the Tactic Conference. The company is an Australian gold developer targeting future production of 150,000ozpa, supported by 2.2Moz gold and 3.1Moz silver JORC Mineral Resources and 100% ownership of the Central Gawler gold mill in South Australia.
Barton Gold (OTCQB: BGDFF) reported its June 2026 quarter with intensive drilling and study work across its 100%-owned South Australian projects. At the Challenger Gold Project, a Definitive Feasibility Study is progressing on a 3–4 year Stage 1 operation using TSF1 tailings and near-surface ore, with assessments indicating the Central Gawler Mill is suitable for recommissioning and TSF1 reprocessing is technically feasible. Recent RC and diamond drilling returned new high-grade gold mineralisation up to 170 g/t Au in the Challenger Main pit and up to 60 g/t Au at Challenger West, plus open-pittable mineralisation at CSSW and Challenger 3.
At Tunkillia, a Pre-feasibility Study led by GRES is underway in parallel with an expanded ~70,000m RC and ~3,000m DD “Phase 2” program following strong “Phase 1” assays, with PFS publication targeted for Q1 CY27. Barton also advanced its Tolmer silver discovery, where trial work produced a >100,000 g/t Ag gravity concentrate and a 3,677m follow-up RC program was completed with results pending. The company completed a A$26m placement at ~3.5% discount with ~11% dilution and ended the quarter with A$31.9m cash, no debt, and additional A$4.5m in restricted cash.
