Biggest moves

Beatons Creek Gold and Keras agree Nullagine transfer

Beatons Creek Gold Pty Ltd is transferring 14 tenements covering 3,427 hectares in the Shire of East Pilbara and Nullagine to Keras (Gold) Australia Pty Ltd. Keras has said the broader Warrawoona district tenure is part of a strategy to consolidate its presence in the region and build a large asset base centred on Klondyke, with historic gold occurrences and artisanal mining operations cited across the district.

Why it matters: The ground sits in the Nullagine gold district beside Golden Spec and Blue Spec, with multiple nearby deposits and operations suggesting an established gold camp.

Ljy Capital transfers 3 tenements to GTT Metals Group

Ljy Capital Pty Ltd has transferred 3 tenements covering 7,440 hectares in the Kurnalpi district of the Shire of Kalgoorlie-Boulder to GTT Metals Group Pty Ltd. The ground sits about 10 km west of Bombora and 31 km north of Aldiss - Karonie, in an area exposed to nearby gold and base metals activity. GTT Ventures is headquartered in Perth.

Why it matters: The transfer adds a Kurnalpi package close to established operating ground, which can support exploration follow-up around the Bombora and Aldiss - Karonie corridor.

Albion Resources acquires two tenements from Centretop Holdings

Albion Resources Limited has registered the transfer of two exploration licences covering 9,300 hectares in the Shire of Wiluna from Centretop Holdings Pty Ltd. The ground neighbours 14 tenements held by Gum Creek Gold Mines Pty Ltd and lies 54 kilometres from the iron ore operation at Joyners Find.

Why it matters: Centretop Holdings Pty Ltd is left holding no WA tenements under that name, so this is an exit rather than a reshuffle.
