Biggest moves

Genesis Minerals and Jasper Exploration swap Laverton ground

Genesis Minerals (Laverton) Pty Ltd transferred 18 tenements covering 13,806 hectares in the Shire of Laverton and Mt Morgans district to Jasper Exploration Pty Ltd. Genesis is focused on the Laverton district in Western Australia, and the ground sits around Mt Morgans near Jupiter, Mt Marven, Heffernans Syenite, Ganymede and Doublejay, with Westralia UG 4 km to the north and Granny Smith 9 km to the east.

Why it matters: The package sits in an established Laverton gold corridor beside multiple operating or named prospects, which gives Jasper Exploration leverage close to existing mine infrastructure.

Majestic Gold Mines, Crown Gold deal in Kalgoorlie-Boulder

Majestic Gold Mines Pty Ltd transferred 9 tenements covering 2,101ha in the Shire of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, in the Bulong and East Coolgardie districts, to Crown Gold (WA) Pty Ltd. Auravelle Metals said on 7 April 2026 that it had acquired the nine tenements near Kalgoorlie for A$0.2 million, and that the ground is prospective for gold near Black Cat Syndicate’s Majestic centre and Fingals.

Why it matters: The transfer adds ground immediately alongside established gold systems and processing infrastructure, which is the main exploration drawcard for this package.
