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.

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.

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.

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.
