Barton Gold Holdings (OTCQB:BGDFF / ASX:BGD) appointed Bedrock Advisory Partners to manage the credit portion of its formal finance process for targeted 'Stage 1' operations at the Central Gawler Mill (CGM).
A Definitive Feasibility Study and upgrade drilling are underway; early funding discussions are ongoing with multiple credit, trading and investment groups to support restart using higher-grade tailings and limited near-surface material.
Barton Gold (OTCQB:BGDFF) has commenced 2026 development drilling at the Tunkillia gold project, starting ~900m of water bore drilling and planning ~28,000m of RC and ~3,000m of diamond drilling from March 2026.
The program targets JORC (2012) Ore Reserves, a PFS and a Mining Lease application by end‑2026 and aims to de‑risk and optimise the OSS economics (May 2025).
Barton Gold (OTCQB:BGDFF) has begun up to 8,000m of RC drilling to upgrade Challenger open-pit and near-surface resources with the objective of defining JORC (2012) Stage 1 Ore Reserves and completing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) by 30 June 2026. The DFS targets a simplified 3–4 year baseline operation using higher-grade historical tailings and limited near-surface material to restart the Central Gawler Mill (CGM) and preserve underground optionality.
The company cites a September 2025 Challenger Mineral Resource of 313koz Au (10.6Mt @ 0.92 g/t), says discussions are underway with financiers and traders, and aims to sequence Stage 1 ahead of broader regional development opportunities.
Barton Gold (ASX:BGD / OTCQB:BGDFF) reported final Phase 1 upgrade drilling assays from the Tunkillia gold project on 20 Jan 2026, returning multiple shallow high‑grade intersections inside modelled S1/S2 open pits.
Key assay highlights include TKB0422 with a combined 46m at 3.86 g/t Au across a 51m interval and several 50–100 gram‑metre intersections. Company modelling cites an estimated $1.3 billion free cash in the first 2.5 years at A$5,000/oz gold, with development drilling and Phase 2 works due to start late January 2026 and targets including a PFS and Mining Lease application by end‑2026.
Barton Gold Holdings (ASX:BGD / OTCQB:BGDFF) has started a high-resolution FALCON airborne gravity survey across the northern portion of EL 6502, targeting near-mine repeats of Challenger's high-grade quartz vein lodes. The program will collect ~3,200 line kilometres at 200m line spacing and ~80m altitude to complement existing magnetics and refine regional structural models.
Challenger produced ~1.2 million ounces of gold (2002–2018); Barton holds 100% of the gold rights over the northern EL 6502 and says the survey supports a DFS and regional enhancement strategy.
Barton Gold Holdings (ASX:BGD, OTCQB:BGDFF) has started a high-resolution FALCON airborne gravity survey over the northern portion of EL 6502, targeting near-mine repeats of Challenger's high-grade quartz vein lodes.
The program will collect ~3,200 line kilometres at 200m line spacing and ~80m altitude. Barton retains 100% gold rights to the area; Challenger historically produced ~1.2 million ounces of gold (2002–2018). The survey aims to complement coarse existing gravity and magnetics to refine structural targets while a DFS for a phased restart of Challenger is underway.
Barton Gold (ASX:BGD / OTCQB:BGDFF) reported further assays from infill drilling at the Tunkillia Gold Project, highlighting multiple shallow, higher‑grade intersections in the northern S1 'Starter Pit' and first S2 upgrade results. Key modeled metrics: 365,000 oz Au, 923,000 oz Ag and an estimated $1.3 billion operating free cash in the first 2.5 years, based on assumed prices of A$5,000/oz gold and A$50/oz silver, with projected 3x payback of development costs in that period. Specific drill hits include e.g., 8m @ 4.74 g/t Au from 41m and 20m @ 2.06 g/t Au from 84m. Remaining Phase 1 assays are expected in January 2026 with an updated JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate targeted by March 2026.
Barton Gold Holdings (ASX:BGD / OTCQB:BGDFF) reported diamond drilling assays at the Tolmer prospect, Tarcoola Gold Project, dated December 8, 2025. Results include peak assays of 465 g/t Ag and 20.2 g/t Au from shallow intervals and multiple high‑grade silver and gold intersections across three holes totaling 595.3m. Drilling supports a local structural model analogous to the eastern Tarcoola goldfield and highlights a recently expanded western silver zone with western and southern extensions. Barton plans follow‑up drilling targeting the western silver zone in H1 2026.
