Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (ASX:KAL)
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining operates exploration projects in Western Australia’s Goldfields-Esperance region.

Drilling activities continue, with new exploration plans set for the coming months.
Caprice Resources (ASX:CRS)
Caprice Resources focuses on its Island Gold project in the Murchison Goldfields region. The site includes multiple mineralized zones, with a strong presence at the Golconda-Vadrian Hill trend. The company initiated a drilling program targeting quartz reefs, with Phase 1 results indicating high-grade gold mineralization. A 5,000-metre drilling program is scheduled to further evaluate the site’s mineralized zones. Caprice shares reached their highest valuation in late March following positive drilling updates.
North Stawell Minerals (ASX:NSM)
North Stawell Minerals is actively exploring gold prospects in Victoria. The company launched drilling programs at its Wildwood and Darlington sites, backed by financing secured in 2024. The focus at Wildwood includes expansion efforts and infill drilling, while activities at Darlington target historical mining zones. Visible gold was reported in drilling results at Darlington in March, with further results pending. Share prices have reflected growing interest in the company’s exploration progress.
Koonenberry Gold (ASX:KNB)
Koonenberry Gold holds a diverse project portfolio in Australia. Drilling at the Junee copper-gold project commenced in January as part of a joint venture. The company identified two gold trends at its Prince of Wales project, with sampling confirming the presence of gold mineralization. Expansion of the Enmore gold project in February further increased its exploration footprint. Visible gold discoveries from recent drilling activities have contributed to positive market movements.
Cavalier Resources (ASX:CVR)
Cavalier Resources is advancing the Crawford Gold project in Western Australia. The project has a reserve estimate of gold, with further indicated and inferred resources. The company has progressed toward securing approvals for mining activities and signed a financing agreement to support development efforts.
