Biggest moves
Fluorite SPV transfers 8 tenements to Japan Australia Fluorite Associates
Fluorite SPV Pty Ltd is transferring 8 tenements totalling 4,745ha in Wyndham-East Kimberley to Japan Australia Fluorite Associates Pty Ltd. The transfer sits within Tivan’s Speewah Fluorite Project restructure, where the project hosts a JORC resource of 37.3Mt at 9.1% CaF2 and 8.6Mt at 22.8% CaF2, and is now backed by Japanese joint venture interests through Japan Fluorite Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation.
Why it matters: It consolidates the Speewah fluorite ground under the new Japanese-linked project structure and sits alongside a major offtake and funding build-out for the development.

Rumble Resources transfers two Earaheedy tenements to Earaheedy Pty Ltd
Rumble Resources Limited is transferring 2 tenements covering 35,650 hectares in Wiluna to Earaheedy Pty Ltd. Rumble’s Earaheedy project is 110km north of Wiluna and hosts a maiden inferred resource of 94Mt at 3.1% Zn+Pb and 4.1g/t Ag, with the project described as spanning 70km of strike on the Earaheedy Basin margin.
Why it matters: The ground sits within Rumble’s flagship Earaheedy zinc-lead-silver district, where the company has already outlined a large inferred resource and substantial strike length for further discovery work.

Northern Star Resources and Toledo Tenement Holdings
Northern Star Resources Ltd is transferring 5 tenements totalling 2,440 hectares in the Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie-Boulder shires to Toledo Tenement Holdings Pty Limited. Northern Star is a global-scale Australian gold producer listed on the ASX with resources of 88.9Moz and reserves of 28.4Moz at 31 March 2026, while its mining services arm says its operations centre is in Kalgoorlie-Boulder and it runs production centres at Kalgoorlie, Yandal and Pogo.
Why it matters: The ground sits in Northern Star’s Kalgoorlie-Coolgardie gold district, so the move is relevant to portfolio consolidation around one of Western Australia’s core gold hubs.

Goldarc Resources transfers 3 tenements to Desert Minerals Ltd
Goldarc Resources Limited is transferring 3 tenements totalling 497 hectares in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder shire to Desert Minerals Ltd. GoldArc is a Western Australian gold explorer focused on the Eastern Goldfields, with flagship projects in the Leonora and Kookynie districts and a Leonora South package covering 313km² across its eastern tenements and 236km² in the western area.
Why it matters: It trims GoldArc’s footprint in the Eastern Goldfields and may sharpen focus on its larger Leonora and Kookynie ground positions.
