Brightstar Resources Limited ( (AU:BTR) ) has issued an update.

Brightstar Resources has outlined a two-year strategic plan to transform its Sandstone Gold Project into a district-scale, long-life production centre, following the December 2025 acquisition of Aurumin that completed its M&A-led consolidation phase. The company is now focused on operational delivery, advancing a Sandstone pre-feasibility study scheduled for early September quarter 2026, underpinned by extensive infill drilling to upgrade Mineral Resources, technical studies to support a maiden Ore Reserve, and the design of an optimally sized 4–5Mtpa processing plant leveraging 1.6Moz of shallow mineralisation. With three rigs mobilising for predominantly growth-focused drilling in 2026, nearly all mineralisation amenable to open-pit mining and an aspirational project start at Sandstone by late 2027, Brightstar aims for Sandstone’s future production to complement its planned Goldfields hub, strengthening its pathway toward mid-tier gold producer status and enhancing the value proposition for shareholders and regional stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:BTR) stock is a Hold with a A$0.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Brightstar Resources Limited stock, see the AU:BTR Stock Forecast page.
