High-Tech Metals Limited ( (AU:HTM) ) has issued an announcement.

High-Tech Metals used the March quarter to pivot from pure exploration toward near-term gold production, led by the Wagtail deposit where a 65-hole drill program delivered multiple bonanza-grade intersections and improved geological confidence. The company is advancing an updated mineral resource, mine design and metallurgical testwork for Wagtail, supported by a fully funded mining agreement with SSH Mining and a toll-treatment MoU with Wiluna Mining that together reduce capital and execution risk.

The balance sheet was bolstered by $10.7 million from option exercises, providing funding to advance Wagtail, Mt Fisher and Dam-Damsel toward production readiness while expanding exploration across the broader Mt Fisher–Mt Eureka belt. Drilling has commenced at Mt Fisher to target resource extensions in what management views as an under-drilled system, underpinning a strategy to establish initial production at Wagtail and then build a multi-deposit production profile that could enhance the company’s market positioning and potential valuation rerating.
