The latest announcement is out from R3D Resources Limited ( (AU:TAT) ).

Tartana Minerals’ latest quarterly report outlines progress across its Far North Queensland copper-gold portfolio, highlighted by high-grade rock chip sampling at the Cardross project, which supports the existing inferred mineral resource estimate and suggests potential by-product credits from silver and indium. Copper sulphate pentahydrate output fell to 153 tonnes due to lower pond grades and chiller issues compounded by wet-season access constraints, but leach testwork on in-pit fill indicates scope to economically expand production at relatively low cost by restacking higher-grade material onto existing heaps. The company is also advancing the Mungana Venture Agreement, attracting interest from potential financiers or partners for a larger-scale processing plant, and is considering the partial sale of a 50% stake in Queensland Strategic Metals to Alt Resources in exchange for scrip and a convertible note to fund early exploration, while CEI-supported drilling at Beefwood has been deferred to mid-2026 due to weather. Collectively, these steps position Tartana to leverage stronger copper and gold prices, enhance near-term chemical production revenues, and accelerate exploration to grow its resource base and strengthen its funding options.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:TAT) stock is a Hold with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on R3D Resources Limited stock, see the AU:TAT Stock Forecast page.
