Barton Gold Holdings Limited ( (AU:BGD) ) has issued an announcement.

Barton Gold has commenced a 8,000m reverse circulation drilling program at its Challenger Gold Project in South Australia to upgrade near-surface and open pit mineralisation to JORC (2012) Indicated resources, with the aim of converting these into Ore Reserves as part of a Definitive Feasibility Study due by 30 June 2026. The DFS is designed around a low-risk, three- to four-year Stage 1 operation using higher-grade tailings and shallow ore to restart the Central Gawler Mill without immediately redeveloping the Challenger underground mine, thereby fast-tracking producer status, enhancing the processing options for satellite projects such as Tarcoola, Wudinna and Tolmer, and positioning the company to secure project financing while benefiting from strong gold and silver prices.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:BGD) stock is a Hold with a A$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Barton Gold Holdings Limited stock, see the AU:BGD Stock Forecast page.
