The most recent analyst rating on (AU:AQD) stock is a Hold with a A$0.07 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on AusQuest Limited stock, see the AU:AQD Stock Forecast page.
AusQuest Limited advanced its flagship Cangallo copper-gold project in Peru during the December 2025 quarter, with Stage 3 reverse circulation drilling extending the porphyry system more than 500 metres to the south and diamond drilling confirming mineralisation to depths exceeding 800 metres, including a 555-metre intercept grading 0.26% copper and 0.06g/t gold from near surface. The company raised $10 million in a placement to accelerate and expand drilling at Cangallo, initiated permitting for further RC drilling and additional Peruvian copper prospects, and progressed a suite of Australian projects, including new drill programs at Balladonia, high-grade magnetite results at Morrisey, planned IOCG drilling at Coober Pedy in Q2 2026, and reconnaissance drilling at Mt Davis, while also extending its Strategic Alliance Agreement with South32 to December 2027, underscoring continued funding support and exploration momentum across its portfolio.

AusQuest Limited reports that recent diamond and reverse circulation drilling at its 100%-owned Cangallo porphyry copper-gold discovery in Peru has substantially expanded the known extent of copper mineralisation. Diamond drilling has extended the mineralised vein system to depths of over 800 metres, while Stage 3 RC drilling has intersected copper oxides and sulphides more than 500 metres south of earlier work, increasing the strike length of the porphyry system to more than one kilometre north–south. Copper occurs in stockwork veins, veinlets and mineralised porphyry dykes, with oxide minerals logged to depths beyond 300 metres and sulphides beyond 800 metres. Samples from the RC program have been dispatched for laboratory analysis, with assay results expected later in January to guide the next phase of diamond drilling, potentially influencing AusQuest’s resource definition strategy and the project’s future development pathway.
