The formal agreement follows a binding agreement announced on 11 June 2026. While the transaction remains subject to conditions precedent—including the assignment of two Native Title Mining Agreements and regulatory tenement transfers—Orpheus or a wholly owned subsidiary will assume interim operatorship of the licences.

This interim access enables the company to undertake permitted exploration work ahead of completion to advance the tenements to a drill-ready position, allowing drilling activities to commence as soon as practicable following necessary approvals.

Adding to its regional consolidation efforts, Trachre Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Orpheus, staked a new claim near the project on 10 August 2026. Orpheus continues to assess opportunities to expand and rationalise tenure within the broader project area.
