Detailed Report
Hanking Gold International Limited (“Hanking Gold” or the “Company”) has announced a significant milestone with the receipt of two crucial permits for its Mt Bundy Gold Project in Australia’s Northern Territory. The project’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Primary Gold Pty Ltd, has been granted the processing plant site clearance permit by the Department of Lands, Planning and Environment (DLPE) and the Notice of Authority to Commence Mining Activity by the Department of Mining and Energy (DME). These permits were granted under the Environmental Protection Act 2019 and section 79A(1) of the Mineral Titles Act 2010, and are subject to the conditions outlined in DML1209-01.
The Mt Bundy Gold Project is one of Hanking Gold’s flagship assets, holding an impressive 3.47 million ounces of gold resources and 1.88 million ounces of gold reserves as per the JORC (2012) Code. Notably, all these resources and reserves are hosted within existing mining licences, reducing the risk of future permitting delays.
The Company has already secured all necessary environmental approvals: for underground mining in 2020, and for open-pit mining and the construction of the processing plant and related infrastructure in 2023. With the processing plant site clearance and mining commencement permits now in hand, Hanking Gold is positioned to immediately advance to the next stage of project development.
Project Timeline and Next Steps
- Site clearance work has commenced immediately following permit approval.
- Invitations sent to qualified mining tenders and preparation of mining tender documents is underway.
- Processing plant construction is scheduled to begin in Q3 2026.
- Gold production is targeted to commence in Q1 2028.
Implications for Shareholders & Potential Impact on Share Price
The granting of these permits marks a major de-risking event for the Mt Bundy Gold Project and is expected to be highly price-sensitive. Securing both the site clearance and mining commencement permits provides a clear regulatory path forward, setting the stage for construction and eventual production. This could positively impact the Company’s valuation, de-risk the project timeline, and increase investor confidence.
Shareholders and potential investors should note that while these approvals remove significant uncertainties, the Company has cautioned that they should exercise care in trading its shares, as project development remains ongoing and subject to execution risks.
