Desoto Resources Ltd. ( (AU:DES) ) has issued an update.

DeSoto Resources has reported a busy December quarter marked by a new exploration alliance and joint venture framework with Fortuna Mining Corp in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, under which Fortuna may sole-fund up to US$12.5 million over three years to earn a 70% interest in newly acquired permits, while DeSoto’s existing 100%-owned ground remains outside the arrangement. The company completed maiden reconnaissance reverse-circulation drilling at the Dadjan and Tolé prospects, delivering high-grade gold intercepts that support the scale potential of the Tolé Main Zone and surrounding areas, while also advancing first-pass and systematic sampling programs across its broader Siguiri pipeline, maintaining all licences in good standing, securing fresh approvals for new work programs, and bolstering its balance sheet with a A$14 million placement that left it holding $12.7 million in cash at the end of December 2025.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:DES) stock is a Hold with a A$0.18 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Desoto Resources Ltd. stock, see the AU:DES Stock Forecast page.
