White Lion Emerges as Pacgold’s Crown Jewel: Geophysical Breakthrough Signals Major Gold Potential


 

Pacgold Limited (ASX: PGO) has elevated its exploration momentum with a major breakthrough at the White Lion Prospect, part of the broader Alice River Gold Project in North Queensland. Through a newly completed Induced Polarisation (IP) survey, the company has defined a large-scale, high-intensity chargeability anomaly directly overlapping a previously mapped bullseye magnetic feature.

This discovery significantly upgrades the exploration profile of White Lion, aligning it with large-scale gold systems such as Mt Leyshon in Queensland and Fort Knox in Alaska. The 1.0km x 1.5km anomaly suggests the presence of sulphide-rich breccia zones typically associated with intrusion-related gold systems (IRGS)—a high-value target class known for their scale and longevity.

Located just 500 metres south of the Alice River Fault Zone (ARFZ), White Lion benefits from an ideal geological setting. Surface mapping has revealed quartz breccias extending over 250 metres, and historical shallow drilling has confirmed anomalous gold values. However, the core of the magnetic and chargeability anomaly remains untouched by modern drilling—leaving significant upside for first-pass results.

Advanced survey interpretation revealed a donut-shaped magnetic inversion at 200 metres depth, paired with coincident resistivity lows. These geophysical features suggest pyrite-sericite alteration halos and possible sulphide accumulation—key indicators of buried mineralised systems.

Pacgold’s next steps are sharply focused: finalising heritage approvals, completing pole-dipole IP surveys to refine drill depths, and launching a drill campaign by Q4 2025. The broader regional IP survey is also underway, aiming to establish continuity between White Lion and nearby prospects such as Victoria, Central, and Posie.

Investor sentiment is already shifting. On the day of the discovery announcement, Pacgold saw a dramatic rise in trading volume—over 470,000 shares, up from just 8,000 a week earlier—signalling growing market enthusiasm.

With high-impact drilling on the horizon, White Lion could mark a turning point for Pacgold, unlocking significant gold potential in one of Australia’s most fertile mineral belts.

Carbonxt Restructures Black Birch Lease, Secures Premium Placement to Drive Growth

Image
Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX: CG1) has successfully restructured its lease agreement for the Black Birch Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) facility in Georgia, USA. The revised lease significantly reduces fixed costs while allowing Carbonxt to maintain full operational control. In a strategic move, the lessor has agreed to accept shares as lease payments through September 2025, demonstrating confidence in the Company’s growth trajectory. Carbonxt will issue 7.86 million shares at $0.08 each, representing a 37% premium to the 15-day VWAP. Major Lease Restructuring to Reduce Costs The Black Birch PAC facility, operating under a 50-year lease since 2017, had previously required minimum fixed rent payments. Under the renegotiated agreement: The lease is secured through September 2025. Monthly lease payments are reduced by over 50%, easing financial pressure. Carbonxt will issue shares instead of making cash payments. This restructuring provides Carbonxt with greater fi...

Resolution Minerals Strikes Significant Gold at Horse Heaven, Idaho

Image
  Australian-listed miner Resolution Minerals (ASX: RML) has announced a breakthrough discovery at its Horse Heaven Project in Idaho, USA. The first diamond-core drill hole at the Golden Gate prospect (HH-GG25-001C) intersected a broad near-surface gold zone — 189.2 metres @ 1.30 g/t Au from a depth of just 34.1 metres. Impressively, mineralisation bottoms  out and remains open at depth. Notably, the intercept includes severa l higher-grade zones: 12.9 m @ 2.32 g/t Au from 94.4 m and 70.8 m @ 2.24 g/t Au from 128.8 m. These results suggest the presence of an intrusion-hosted gold system — a deposit style known for large tonnage potential — similar to that found at the nearby Stibnite Gold Project located only ~6 km away. The initial “Phase 1” drilling campaign comprised  10 holes totalling 2,770.6 metres, though only the first hole’s assay results have been released so far. Resolution plans to submit permits for a follow-up program of up to 50 holes to systematically test...

Platina Resources Doubles Its Laverton Footprint with Strategic Acquisition

Image
  Platina Resources (ASX: PGM)  has significantly expanded its presence in Western Australia’s Laverton Gold District by acquiring the Mt Morgans South Gold Project. The new tenement package boosts the company’s landholding to more than 312 km² , nearly doubling its exploration footprint in one of Australia’s most productive  gold belts. The Mt Morgans South  project sits close to major gold operations, including the Jupiter  and Westralia  mines, and lies within proven Archean greenstone geology known for hosting multi- million-ounce deposits . This strategic location gives Platina strong potential for new gold discoveries. The company plans to begin exploration by reviewing historical data, refining targets and preparing for future drilling programs. With this acquisition, Platina strengthens its district-scale strategy and enhances its chances  of uncovering high-value gold opportunities.
