Voltaic Strategic Resources Limited has acquired 100% of two granted prospecting licences, P51/3399 and P51/3400, comprising the Ruby Gem Project for a cash consideration of $42,500.

The transaction adds high-potential gold assets featuring historical workings that provide an immediate focus for geological assessment and surface sampling. The acquisition follows earlier land consolidation moves by Voltaic in the Murchison goldfields, including securing full ownership of the Bundie Bore Burnakura gold corridor and acquiring seven additional prospecting licences in the district.

"The acquisition of Ruby Gem further strengthens our position in the Meekatharra region and is consistent with our strategy of building a focused Western Australian gold exploration portfolio," said Daniel Raihani, Chairman.

In addition to the buyout, a contract geological team has mobilised to conduct first-pass field exploration across the company's broader Meekatharra portfolio, including geological mapping, reconnaissance and surface sampling. The work programme targets priority areas identified from recent desktop studies, including gold and copper anomalies around the Bundie Bore ground.

"Importantly, we are now on the ground undertaking first-pass exploration across the portfolio. This work is designed to systematically assess the priority targets identified from our recent desktop studies and, subject to results, define targets for follow-up exploration and potential drilling," said Daniel Raihani, Chairman.

The active field campaign aims to support maiden drill programmes in the region, set against a backdrop of active regional development that includes Westgold Resources Limited releasing a scoping study on 25 August 2026 for a 2.9Mtpa expansion plan at the nearby Meekatharra processing hub.
