Minerals 260 locks in $220m Franco-Nevada funding to fast-track Bullabulling

Minerals 260 Limited ( (AU:MI6) ) just unveiled an update.

Minerals 260 has secured a $220 million strategic funding package from Franco-Nevada, combining $170 million in royalty financing with a $50 million equity investment at a premium, to accelerate and de-risk development of its 4.5Moz Bullabulling Gold Project. The deal gives Franco-Nevada a 2.45% gross royalty over key tenements and a 4.9% equity stake, underpinning Minerals 260’s strengthened balance sheet and signalling strong external validation of the project.

Drilling at Bullabulling continues to return high-grade and infill intersections outside the current Mineral Resource Estimate, with seven rigs on site and an updated resource planned for August 2026 following a July Pre-Feasibility Study and maiden Ore Reserve. Project development has been accelerated with early works, infrastructure and water studies, and DFS workstreams underway, while recent board and executive appointments support the company’s push toward first production targeted by the end of 2028.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MI6) stock is a Buy with a A$0.90 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Minerals 260 Limited stock, see the AU:MI6 Stock Forecast page.
