Biggest moves
Sunshine Gold Capital transfers nine tenements to Suncrest Gold
Sunshine Gold Capital Pty Ltd is transferring nine tenements covering 147,560 hectares across Laverton, Menzies, Esperance and Wyndham-East Kimberley to Suncrest Gold Pty Ltd.
Why it matters: This is a large WA land package moving to a new holder across four districts, which can signal a reset of exploration control over prospective ground.

Fluorite SPV and Japan Australia Fluorite confirm Speewah transfer
Fluorite SPV Pty Ltd has registered transfer of eight Speewah tenements, covering 4,745 hectares in the Wyndham-East Kimberley, from Fluorite SPV Pty Ltd to Japan Australia Fluorite Associates Pty Ltd. The ground sits within the Speewah Fluorite Project, with Tivan saying the restructure was designed to separate the fluorite and vanadium assets and place the fluorite tenements into the joint-venture vehicle for the project.
Why it matters: The transfer brings the Speewah fluorite ground into the joint-venture structure backed by Sumitomo and JOGMEC interests, which is the key control change for the tenure.

Rumble Resources to Earaheedy Pty Ltd transfer
Rumble Resources Limited is transferring 2 tenements totalling 35,650 hectares in the Wiluna shire to Earaheedy Pty Ltd. The ground sits in the Earaheedy Basin, about 120 km north of Wiluna, and is prospective for zinc-lead-silver mineralisation at Rumble’s Earaheedy project. Rumble agreed in October 2023 to sell the four-tenement package for $250,000 worth of Rumble shares, with the deal later completed in March 2024.
Why it matters: The transfer shifts a sizeable Earaheedy package that has been part of a zinc-lead-silver exploration district with established strike potential and prior drilling interest.

Why it matters: It consolidates ground in an established gold district close to existing operations and infrastructure.
