Ballard Mining Limited ( (AU:BM1) ) has provided an announcement.
Ballard Mining has expanded the global Mineral Resource Estimate at its Mt Ida Gold Project to 12.3 million tonnes at 3.0 grams per tonne for 1.2 million ounces of gold, driven by an upgraded Baldock resource now standing at 9.0 million tonnes at 3.5 grams per tonne for 1.0 million ounces, including a 66% increase in Indicated resources. Final infill and extensional drilling results at Baldock, alongside strong regional intercepts at Neptune and West Knell, underpin a 220,000‑metre 2026 drilling campaign aimed at further resource growth and potential satellite open-pit feed.
Project development is advancing in parallel, with feasibility-level geotechnical and metallurgical studies, expansion of the accommodation camp and additional water bores underway to support Mt Ida’s future production profile. A recent A$61 million placement has strengthened Ballard’s cash position to A$75.6 million at 31 March 2026, funding accelerated drilling and early works toward a final investment decision targeted in the first half of 2027, reinforcing the company’s progression from explorer to potential producer.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:BM1) stock is a Buy with a A$1.05 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ballard Mining Limited stock, see the AU:BM1 Stock Forecast page.
