Beacon Minerals ( (AU:BCN) ) has shared an update.

Beacon Minerals has achieved a key development milestone at its Lady Ida – Iguana gold project in Western Australia, successfully completing the first blast at the new open pit on 24 January 2026, which will deliver an initial 20,000 tonnes of laterite ore. Site infrastructure, including mining workshops and offices, is under construction and due for completion in March, with assets being transferred from the MacPhersons operation, while sequential blasting, initial ore mining, and road haulage to the Jaurdi processing plant are set to ramp up through February. The company plans to begin stockpiling Iguana ore at both the mine and Jaurdi ROM in early to mid-February, feed Iguana ore into the Jaurdi mill later that month following completion of MacPhersons processing, and expects its first gold pour from the project in late February 2026, which will activate its joint venture with Lamerton Pty Ltd and Geoda Pty Ltd and mark a significant step in Beacon’s growth strategy.
